Runway answers one question: "What does my checking account look like over the next five weeks?"
Every paycheck, bill, and credit card payment, projected onto a calendar -- so surprises stop being surprises.
FEATURES
• Your next 35 days on one calendar -- every paycheck, bill, and card payment lands on the day it'll actually hit, color-coded so trouble is visible from across the room
• "Safe to spend today" -- one number: what you can spend right now and still clear every bill between here and payday
• Credit card payments, predicted for real -- a $240 balance today doesn't mean a $240 payment on the 18th. Runway adds what you'll keep spending before the due date, so the payment that hits your forecast is the one that'll hit your bank
• Expected spending, not expense tracking -- tell it roughly what groceries, gas, and fun cost you a month. No receipts, no categorizing transactions, no guilt
• Pay bills from cash or card -- a bill charged to your credit card rolls into that card's next payment automatically
• Transfers that move money on both sides -- $1,000 from Checking to Savings on the 15th shows up in both forecasts
• What-if scenarios (Premium) -- test a big decision before you make it: a job change, a house sale, paying off a debt. See the projected impact on your own numbers, without touching your real data
• Mark paid or skip -- cashed a check early? Skipping something this month? One tap keeps the forecast true
• Look back, not just forward -- Cash Flow History shows what actually happened, month by month, next to what was expected -- confirm, correct, or skip, right from the list
• Honest multi-account warnings -- if one account is heading for trouble while another is flush, Runway calls it out, saying "Shortfall in Checking," not "You have $1000 left this month"
• A safety buffer you set -- pick the floor you never want to cross (per account, if you like) and get warned before you're close, not after
• Freshness nudges -- Runway knows when money moved since you last verified a balance, and tells you when the forecast is running on stale numbers
• Home-screen widgets -- your whole runway at a glance (calendar and scrollable list views), no app open needed
• Reminders only if you want them -- everything is off by default; you choose what to be reminded about and how often
• Make it yours -- dark mode, a colorblind-friendly palette, custom colors, and four text sizes (the biggest is genuinely big)
• Share your runway, read-only (Premium to send; always free to receive) -- pair with a spouse or partner once via QR code, then share an encrypted snapshot of your runway or a saved what-if scenario any time -- no accounts, no passwords, no server
• Your data never leaves your phone unless you say so -- no account, no bank linking, no cloud sync, no analytics. Your balances and bills live only on your device; the only ways they ever leave are a CSV export or a snapshot you choose to share
• Two-minute tutorial -- the concepts up front, then guidance right where you need it: what to add first, and how to read your own forecast the moment it's real
PREMIUM
Runway is a complete financial forecasting app, for free. Premium is an optional one-time purchase (no subscription) that unlocks the two features marked above -- What-If Scenarios and sending a shared snapshot. Receiving a snapshot someone else shares with you is always free. Already bought it? Restore your purchase anytime from Settings on a new device.
WHAT RUNWAY IS NOT
• Not a budgeting app -- no transaction categorizing, no spending goals
• Not a net worth tracker -- investments and home equity belong elsewhere
Runway does one thing: shows you whether you'll make it to payday, and how much free cash you have along the way.
Know what you can safely spend before payday. Private. Only on your device.
