PaymentPulse is a high-visibility payment scheduler for people juggling several credit lines on a fixed or irregular income. Instead of reacting to bank alerts, you plan ahead — timing every payment so it clears without draining the cash you need for daily essentials. SEE THE NEXT 30 DAYS AT A GLANCE The Payment Roadmap lays your due dates, target dates, and projected daily cash balance on one high-contrast calendar, so a tight stretch is obvious before it arrives. TIME EVERY PAYMENT WITH A 3-DAY BUFFER Smart Target Dates schedule each bill three days before its deadline, so payments clear on time without early-alert anxiety. KNOW WHAT'S SAFE TO SPEND The Cash Buffer subtracts your upcoming scheduled payments from your liquid cash to show a true "safe to spend" number — and lets you test what-if scenarios before you commit. WATCH YOUR CREDIT HEALTH Track balances, available credit, and utilization per account, and see the impact of a scheduled payment before you make it. UNLIMITED PULSE (optional subscription) Unlock unlimited accounts, a 60-day forecast, what-if scenarios, and full cash + utilization trends. - Monthly ($4.99) or annual ($39.99), with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in Settings PaymentPulse is a personal organizer for information you enter yourself. It does not provide financial, tax, or credit-repair advice.

Sidetally is a personal tracker for the money you earn on the side. It does not pay you and never holds your money — you earn out in the world, and Sidetally helps you see what it adds up to. LOG WHAT YOU EARN Record an amount, the method, the time it took and the date. Your ledger is yours, and a plain-text export means it never gets trapped. SEE WHICH METHODS ACTUALLY PAY Sidetally works out your effective hourly rate — amount divided by time — so the method that looks busiest and the method that pays best stop being confused for each other. SET A GOAL AND WATCH IT CLOSE Save for a bill, a purchase or a cause you care about. Each goal shows real progress, a pace pointer and an honest projection based only on what you have logged. YOUR MOMENTUM SCORE A single 0-100 reading built from your own consistency, goal pace, hourly-rate trend, streak and how widely you have spread your effort. It reflects your logged activity — it is not a financial rating. THE EARNING PLAYBOOK A curated reference of real ways people earn on the side, with typical pay ranges from public sources, the effort involved, how to start, and the scam-hygiene warnings that matter. Free, always. SIDETALLY PRO (optional subscription) Unlimited goals, the per-method board, best-time and diversification analysis, pace projections, the weekly digest, your full history, and the AI Earning Coach that plans a goal into a weekly mix. - Monthly or annual, with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings Sidetally is a planning and tracking aid, not financial advice, and never a promise or forecast of income. Typical pay ranges are drawn from public sources and are not a guarantee of what you will earn.
