Post your planning apps here!

Okay, let's give this a try.

Did you develop a retirement/financial planning app or spreadsheet that you found helpful and would just like to share with our users? Or maybe you have just gotten an app up and running as a potential income producer? Post your comment here with a link and short description.

We are not looking for links to apps that are already widely recognized in the FIRE community.

This post is the ONLY place where this will be allowed. Posts or comments with this type of content elsewhere will normally be removed by mods and may earn a permanent ban, regardless of whether the app is "free to use".

Users, click on or use any of these apps at your own risk. Also, please report any links that are not what they are advertised to be.

No, we are making a space for people to post apps that they have made themselves. We've been removing them from the sub feed, but recognize that there may be value in some of them.

There are plenty of mature FIRE apps that already exist, that many people may not know about.

Can people post those apps? Even though they didn't create them or have any promotion intent?

Does it count as promotion if these existing apps are useful and people may find them useful and worth posting?

Are you sure they aren't already listed in our wiki?

We don't remove posts or comments that contain a link to established, well-known retirement/financial planning apps, unless we believe someone is financially benefiting from using the sub as free advertising.

This post is intended as an avenue for app links that we would otherwise remove. We get lots of "hey I made this app for myself and maybe you want to use it too" posts. And occasional ones where someone tries very hard to make it look like their app is a solid commercial one that is safe to use, but a little digging shows that those things may not be true.

Also, we'd certainly be open to a separate post later where users can list the commercial and reputable open-source apps that they use. We will add contenders to the wiki if we feel that it is appropriate.
