Can I Buy It? Coming to iPhone

Safe to spend · Paycheck budget

Know what's safe to spend before you buy it.

Enter your paychecks and bills once. Can I Buy It? shows what you can spend until your next payday, and gives a straight yes or no on any purchase, with what it would push back.

After a 7-day free trial: $39.99/year or $4.99/week. Waitlist gets year one for $29.99.

One email when it launches. No spam, unsubscribe anytime. No bank login, ever.

How it works

Two minutes of setup. Then one honest number.

01

Add when you get paid

Every two weeks, twice a month, or uneven: tips, gig weeks, commissions and bonuses all count.

02

Add your bills

Rent, car, phone, subscriptions. They're set aside first, so the number never spends money that's already owed.

03

Ask before you buy

Type the price. Get yes, wait, or no, and exactly what it would push back.

What you'll see

A yes when it's safe. A clear no when it isn't.

Why it's different

Not another spreadsheet in your pocket.

No bank login

Nothing to connect and nothing to break. Your numbers stay on your phone.

One question, answered

Most budget apps track where money went. This one tells you, before you buy, whether you can.

Made for uneven pay

Tips, gig weeks and bonuses are normal here, not an edge case.

An honest trial

Seven days free, a reminder before it charges, and cancel in two taps from your iPhone settings.

Questions

Before you sign up

When does it come out?

It's being built now for iPhone. The waitlist gets one email on launch day, with the $29.99 first-year price.

What will it cost?

A 7-day free trial, then $39.99 a year or $4.99 a week. Waitlist members get their first year for $29.99.

Does it connect to my bank?

No. You enter your paychecks and bills yourself, which takes about two minutes, and nothing about your accounts leaves your phone.

Android?

iPhone first. If enough people on the waitlist ask, Android follows.

Stop guessing at the register.

Join the waitlist and get year one for $29.99.
