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.

Pro adds the full Fit breakdown on every idea, unlimited launch plans, runway projections, unlimited AI coaching, multiple goals and CSV export. - $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year, each with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase; the subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your App Store account settings AN HONEST NOTE SideHustle Navigator is an educational planning and tracking tool. It is not financial, investment, tax or legal advice, and it is not a business or investment opportunity. Earnings ranges shown for ideas are typical examples for context — never promises. Every figure on your Progress screen is your own entry. Some side hustles are regulated, so check your local rules and talk to a qualified professional before making financial decisions.
