BEFORE / SUPPORT · UPDATED NOVEMBER 4, 2026
Help with Before
Set up a personal plan
Enter your confirmed available cash in USD, excluding money already saved toward goals. Enter monthly room after regular bills, debt payments and other obligations. Add a personal goal with its amount, saved balance, date and timing. Before 0.1.0 needs no bank connection or account. Household collaboration is not included in this release.
Check a purchase
Describe the purchase and confirm its upfront payment and ongoing monthly costs. Before shows an estimate and the effect on your goal dates. Fixed goal dates are protected; flexible goals are funded in priority order. Checking a purchase does not spend money or change your saved plan. After actually spending, update your finances before your next check.
Keep your inputs current
Open Profile → Settings → Your finances to review and update your confirmed amounts. Update at least every 72 hours and whenever your circumstances change. The model assumes income and existing costs stay constant and does not model market returns or changing prices. Missing or stale information needs review; an estimate is not a guarantee.
Manage goals and local data
Use Profile to add, edit, delete or reorder personal goals. Settings offers appearance controls, privacy help, history clearing and Clear all app data. A cleared plan cannot be recovered inside Before. Existing device backups are managed through iOS/iCloud settings.
TestFlight feedback
For beta issues, include the Before version/build, device, iOS version, what you expected and the steps that produced the issue. Use TestFlight’s feedback tools or contact us below. Remove private financial information from screenshots and do not send passwords, account numbers or purchase photos containing personal details.
