Freedom Forecast works out the exact age your investments can pay for your life, then shows what every purchase does to that date. A $1,200/month car isn't just $86,400. It can mean 3 more years of work. iPhone and iPad. Paid once, no account, no tracking.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Antonio. By day I'm an art director, and on the side I build small, honest iOS apps.
Freedom Forecast started with a question no calculator would answer for me. They all said a $ 1,200-a-month car costs $86,400. True, but it never changed anyone's mind. What I wanted to know was: if I sign this, when will I be able to retire?
So that's what the app answers.
🏁 Your freedom date. Seven numbers (your age, savings, take-home pay, the realistic ceiling for your job, what you invest, what you spend, and the life you want to fund). It simulates month by month, with raises built in, to the exact age your investments can pay for your life.
🚗 Every purchase, priced in time. Add anything, paid monthly or all at once, and see the true cost after 1 to 30 years next to what the same money could become invested. Then the part I haven't seen anywhere else: how many months it pushes your freedom date back. In the example in the gallery, that car costs 3 years.
📤 Share cards. Any result turns into an image for Instagram, WhatsApp, or the group chat.
A few choices I made on purpose:
• Paid once. No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases. A money app that upsells you every week felt wrong.
• Everything stays on your phone. No account, no analytics, no network requests at all.
• You set the return rates. The app never pretends to know what markets will do, and it isn't financial advice.
It also turned out to be a surprisingly good way to teach a teenager compound interest: a $500 console at 15 is about $4,035 at 45 if it's invested instead.
I'd love your honest feedback on the numbers and on the wording. And a question for you: what's the one purchase you'd want priced in years of freedom? 👇
