Private debt tracker · iPhone

Track what you owe. Watch it disappear.

Fade turns any mortgage, car loan, card balance, or stack of installments into one calm number — and a field of strokes that shorten every time you pay.

Fade for iPhone iOS 27 and later On-device, offline-first

Who it's for

For anyone paying something down, slowly.

Debt is slow. If a balance only ever moves one direction, you deserve to see that movement — not a wall of transactions.

Built for

  • Mortgage holderswatching a large balance fall over many years
  • Car-loan borrowerstracking the gap between the loan and the car’s value
  • Credit-card payersclimbing out of revolving debt one payment at a time
  • Studentschipping away at a loan that feels abstract
  • Installment shoppersjuggling several small plans across currencies

The problem it solves

Most tools were built for spending, not for the long, quiet work of paying a debt off. So the progress you actually care about stays invisible.

  • Budget apps track spending you can’t change.
  • Bank apps hide your balance behind a login and a feed.
  • Spreadsheets show a number, never the space you’ve cleared.
  • None of them tell you what an extra payment would really do.

What it does

See the whole debt, then watch it get smaller.

Three things Fade does that a bank app or a spreadsheet can’t.

Cleared space

Your remaining balance leads, followed by 60 strokes that shorten as you repay. No charts to interpret — just less space to cover, and the exact amount cleared since you started.

A payment in seconds

Add a payment from the home screen in a few taps. Balance, progress, and history update together — and deleting a payment restores exactly the amount it applied, not a rounded guess.

What If

Try an extra monthly amount or a one-off lump sum and see the new debt-free date before you commit. Simulations are temporary and never touch your real records.

Why Fade

Progress-first, not another budget.

A debt tracker should feel like watching space open up — deliberate, private, and calm. Here’s how that compares with the usual options.

A comparison of how these categories of tool typically work, not a review of any specific app. Fade records principal balance reductions, excluding installment interest and fees, and labels every projection as an estimate.

No subscription, no ads, no paywalled history. Just an optional one-time purchase.

Fade Lifetime is a one-time $6.99 purchase — pay once and keep everything, with no subscription and no further charges. The final amount is confirmed by Apple on the App Store sheet before you buy and may vary by region. Purchase and restore are handled by Apple. Buying never hides or deletes existing records: they stay readable on the device even if you never unlock.

After you buy

What Fade Lifetime adds to your iPhone.

The one-time $6.99 lifetime purchase removes every ceiling — for the debts you have now and any you add later.

Unlimited debts

Track every loan, card, and installment you owe — each in its own ISO currency, never converted or merged.

What If simulations

Compare an extra monthly payment against a one-off lump sum and see the estimated debt-free date move. Nothing is saved to your real records.

Home Screen widgets

Left to clear, Next milestone, and Debt-free estimate — in small and medium sizes. Hide amounts and names for privacy.

Payoff receipts

When a debt hits zero, Fade keeps a restaurant-style PAID OFF receipt you can revisit, export as a PDF, or share as an image.

Free is not a trial. Every record, payment, edit, and estimate stays yours whether or not you unlock.

Privacy

Private by default. Quiet by design.

What you owe is nobody else’s business. Fade is built so there is nothing to trust us with.

On your device

No backend, no account, no analytics. Fade never asks for a bank login and never connects to one.

Yours alone

Your records are never uploaded, sold, or shared. The optional purchase is processed by Apple — your data isn’t part of it.

Works offline

Fade runs with no connection and backs up with your normal iPhone backups. Nothing depends on a server staying up.

One less debt. More space.
