About

Debt Descent turns your real balances and APRs into a clear, side-by-side payoff plan β€” and shows you exactly when you'll be debt-free. Add your debts, set the extra you can put toward them each month, and Debt Descent runs the two proven payoff strategies at once: β€’ Snowball β€” clear the smallest balance first for fast, motivating wins β€’ Avalanche β€” target the highest APR first to pay the least interest β€’ Custom β€” set your own order and see what it costs or saves You get the numbers that matter, not vague advice: β€’ Your debt-free date and payoff time for each method β€’ Total interest and total paid, side by side β€’ The interest you'd save by choosing one method over the other β€’ A "descent to zero" chart that plots every balance falling to zero β€’ A monthly budget breakdown β€” minimums vs. your extra, interest vs. principal Built for real life: β€’ Snowflakes β€” drop in a future bonus or tax refund and watch your payoff move up β€’ Refinance & consolidation β€” model a balance transfer, loan, or per-account new rates, then apply the deal in one step β€’ Payment groups β€” one monthly payment covering several debts? Log it once and it splits to the cent β€’ Promo & deferred-interest tracking β€” never get surprised by a 0% intro APR reverting β€’ Per-debt amortization schedules and "pay this down now" what-ifs β€’ Log payments and track your real progress against the plan β€” see if you're ahead or behind β€’ Due-date reminders and calendar (.ics) export Add a card in seconds: β€’ Import a statement PDF and Debt Descent reads the balance, APR, minimum, and due date for you β€” entirely on your device β€’ Or import and export your whole plan as JSON Sync and privacy, both: β€’ iCloud sync keeps your debts, payments, and plan up to date across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac β€” automatic and free β€’ No account, no sign-up, no servers of ours β€” your data lives on your device and in your own private iCloud, where we can't see it β€’ Statement reading happens on-device with PDFKit, Vision, and Apple Intelligence β€” nothing is uploaded One app, every screen: Debt Descent is a native, universal app for iPhone and iPad. Debt Descent is free to use β€” add your debts, run the Snowball and Avalanche methods, see your debt-free date, track payments and progress, and import a statement on-device. A one-time Pro upgrade ($9.99, unlocks on all your devices) adds five more payoff methods, the what-if slider and per-debt payoff tests, snowflakes, refinance modeling, amortization schedules, PDF/calendar export, and due-date reminders.
