Compound Note
Read full descriptionHide full description
Compound Note turns your daily trading result into one line. Set two of three ā starting amount, target amount, period ā and the app works out the third. From then on you only need to look at one number: what you have to earn today. ā One number for today Today's target is shown as money, not as a percentage. No mental math before you trade. ā One line a day Enter the day's profit or loss, or just your account balance. The app does the rest and moves you to the next day. ā A race you can see Every day you log becomes a step. Wins, losses, streaks and rest days line up, so you can see the shape of your month at a glance. ā A report in numbers Win rate, profit factor, average win and loss, longest streak ā read from your own records, not from a sample. ā A reminder at night A push at 10 p.m. tells you tomorrow's number, so you start the day already knowing it. ā Your data stays on your phone Records are kept on the device. No sign-up, no account, no server. Compound Note is a journal. It does not connect to a broker or exchange, it does not recommend trades, and no return is promised.
Accrue

Accrue is a compound interest calculator for a strategy quoted per trading day. Enter the gain you are aiming for each market day ā 0.300% ā and Accrue compounds it over the 252 days a year the market is open, then says what that comes to in the terms everyone else uses: APR, APY, and the same rate read on a calendar basis. It is one screen. Every input is a field you edit with the chart in view, and the answer moves as you type. FEATURES ⢠The daily rate is the input, not an annual figure divided down ⢠252 market days or 365 calendar days, switchable ā and it shows what your rate is on the other one ⢠Contributions daily, weekly or monthly ⢠Term in days, months or years ⢠The chart's time scale is an input too: read the same projection in days, weeks, months, quarters or years ⢠Drag along the curve to read any point out ⢠A breakdown table that unfolds underneath, at whatever scale you chose ⢠Opens on whatever you left in it ⢠Light and dark, or follow your iPhone WHY THE DAY COUNT MATTERS A gain earned per trading day compounds about 252 times a year, not 365. At 0.300% a day that is 112.73% APY on a market basis against 198.43% on a calendar one ā the same number, read two ways, and the difference only means something because the daily rate is what you typed. NOT A FORECAST Accrue projects one scenario: the rate you enter, held every single day. No strategy does that, and the app makes no claim that any rate is achievable. It is a tool for seeing what compounding does. No account, no network, no tracking. Every feature is free; the optional tips in Settings unlock nothing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Accrue at none against Compound Note's shown. Compound Note's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
