Oct 6, 2026
New version 1.0 → 1.1

A big update, built around one idea: keep your eyes on the board, not on the app. • Pay Day is one tap. No more confirmation – every action can now be undone instead. • Your game saves itself. Close the app mid-game and pick up where you left off. • Already playing? Set your position and join a game in progress. • A freedom ring shows how close you are to escaping the rat race – and you get a proper celebration when you do. • Not sure yet? Look around a sample game before you start your own. • Fix a mistake any time: correct your savings or children from the menu. • Better VoiceOver support and haptic feedback throughout. NEW: PRO Tracking a game stays free and complete. Pro adds what happens across games: your game history, lifetime stats and sharing finished games. Try it free for 14 days. If you bought "Support the Developer" in an earlier version: thank you – Pro is already yours, permanently.

About

It's turn twelve, three people are waiting, and you are doing long division on a creased paper ledger. Rat Race Companion is the scorekeeper for financial strategy board games – the ones about escaping the rat race. Keep your eyes on the board, not on the arithmetic. WHAT IT DOES A digital ledger for every player at the table. Pick one of 32 careers, then track every financial event as it happens: • Salary & Passive Income – interest, dividends, real estate and business cash flow calculated automatically each round • Monthly Cash Flow – always up to date, no manual maths • Freedom Status – a progress ring showing how close your passive income is to covering every expense • Full Balance Sheet – assets, liabilities, savings and debt balances • Transaction Log – timestamped history of every game event RECORD GAME EVENTS IN ONE TAP • Pay Day – collect your monthly cash flow in one tap, undoable • Impulse Buy – log unplanned expenses instantly • Real Estate Deal – record property, down payment, mortgage and cash flow • Stock / CD / Mutual Fund – shares, cost and monthly dividend • Business – acquisition cost, down payment and monthly income • Bank Loan – auto-updates savings and monthly payment • Charity, Baby, Downsizing and more – the common board events • Other – free-form entry for anything else 32 CAREER PROFILES Browse and filter across five categories: Classic – Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, Teacher, Nurse, Janitor and more Tech – Software Engineer, Data Scientist, UX Designer and more Creative – Game Developer, Graphic Designer, Content Creator, Podcast Host Finance – Financial Advisor, Accountant, Real Estate Agent, Crypto Trader Modern – Nurse Practitioner, Personal Trainer, Startup Founder and more Each profile includes salary, starting expenses, liabilities, savings and any starting portfolio – ready to play in seconds. LOCAL MULTIPLAYER Host a session or join a nearby one over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth – no internet, no server, no account. Each player tracks their own statement on their own device, and the host assigns careers randomly. DESIGNED FOR THE TABLE • Dark and Light themes – pick what suits your table lighting • Automatic saving – a call, a lock screen or a crash never costs you the game • Undo any entry, so a mistyped number is never permanent • Joining a game in progress? Set your position and carry on • Look around a sample game before starting your own • Remembers your name between sessions • No ads, no subscriptions • No internet connection required – works fully offline • No account or sign-in of any kind • iPhone and iPad supported FREE VS PRO Tracking a game is free and complete. Nothing about playing one game is restricted – all 32 careers, every transaction type, automatic saving, undo, and local multiplayer. Pro is for what happens across games: • Game history – every finished game kept and reviewable • Lifetime stats – win rate, fastest escape, highest passive income, most-played career • Export – share a finished financial statement as text Try Pro free for 14 days, then a one-time Lifetime purchase. No subscription. Your game history is recorded whether or not you have Pro, and is never deleted – Pro unlocks reading it.
