It’s not the $5 coffee.
It’s rent, the car payment and three subscriptions all landing the week before payday.
You’ve been told money stress is a willpower problem. A lot of the time it’s a timing problem. Doughcast shows your balance for every day ahead, so the bad week stops sneaking up on you.
Free to try. Then $59 a year, or $7.99 a month. For macOS 13 Ventura or later.
- Skip the latte.
- Make a budget and stick to it.
- Track every penny in 47 categories.
- Just spend less than you earn.
Fine advice. None of it helps on the 5th, when rent already cleared, the car payment hits tomorrow, and payday is Friday.
You didn’t blow it. Your money just showed up after your bills did.
Most money stress isn’t about how much. It’s about when.
Your bank shows you what already happened. Budget apps show you where it went. Nobody shows you the 5th coming. So we made the thing that does.
A made-up November. A very real problem.
This is a tiny, working version of Doughcast. Each day shows what you’d have left at the end of it. Try quitting coffee first. We’ll wait.
You’d be $173 short on November 5. Try moving the car payment.
Short list. You’re busy.
Every day gets a number.
Your end-of-day balance, from today to a year out. Paychecks, bills and subscriptions, all on one calendar.
Warnings before, not after.
Amber when you’re cutting it close, red when you’d come up short. Usually with a fix, like moving something to the day it fits.
Safe to spend. One number.
What you could spend today without wrecking next Thursday. Not a pie chart.
What-ifs.
Want the couch? Flip it on and look. Doughcast finds the first day it doesn’t hurt.
Bills with mood swings.
Electric is $90 in April and $210 in August. Doughcast estimates, then asks what it really was.
A privacy cover.
One shortcut and a photo slides over your numbers. For when someone’s reading over your shoulder.
What it won’t do.
Doughcast won’t sort your burrito into a category, grade your spending, or ping you at 9 p.m. about your “dining budget.”
It doesn’t care what you bought last Tuesday. It cares whether next Thursday works. That’s the whole job.
Your numbers, your business.
Your plan lives on your Mac, encrypted with your password. No bank login required: check your bank, type the number, done.
We make money when you subscribe. That’s the business model. Your data isn’t.
