CardLab: Credit Card Tracker

CardLab is a credit card simulator: a private sandbox where you can see exactly how a credit card behaves before any real money is on the line.

Build a realistic practice card around your own situation: credit limit, balance, APR or monthly rate, statement date, due date, and payment rules. Then safely test purchases, payments, payoff plans, interest, rewards, installments, and cash advances on a clear visual timeline.

No bank login. No real card number. No CVV. No account required.

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN, LOCK SCREEN & SIRI

• Log a purchase or payment by voice with Siri or Shortcuts, hands-free

• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: balance, available credit, and utilization at a glance

• A payment-due countdown as a Live Activity in the Dynamic Island

• Optional statement-closing and payment-due reminders

SPLIT PAYMENTS & SPOTTING FRIENDS

• Simulate splitting a purchase into 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, or 60 monthly installments — and see the real add-on cost and effective APR

• Cover a friend's purchase, track what they owe you back, and get a reminder to collect

• Start a purchase in one tap from your Home Screen widget

WHAT YOU CAN SIMULATE

• Statement date, due date, and the grace period

• Interest using the average daily balance method

• Minimum payment vs. paying more, and the months and interest you would save

• Credit utilization and an educational Credit Health Meter

• Rewards vs. interest, annual-fee breakeven, installments, and cash advances

HANDS-ON LABS

• Payoff Lab: compare minimum-only against a higher monthly payment

• Interest Lab: watch interest build day by day

• Rewards Lab: check whether cashback really beats your interest

• Utilization Lab: see how balances move your credit utilization

• Credit Score Lab: an educational what-if simulator showing how habits like utilization, on-time payments, and credit age generally move a score (directional and fictional, never your real score)

LEARN BY DOING

• What if I pay before the statement closes?

• What if I only pay the minimum?

• What if I carry a balance into next month?

• What if my cashback is smaller than my interest?

A built-in AI tutor explains your own numbers in plain language.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Local-first: your simulations stay on your device by default. Optional iCloud sync and an optional Cloud AI tutor are yours to switch on. We never sell your data.
