Most finance apps tell you where your money went. Useful, but it doesn't tell you whether you're actually okay. With jobs less certain and costs going one way, the more useful question is: how long could you last if your income stopped?
Runway is a cashflow control app. Put in your income, bills, debts, and balances — it gives you a number in months. That's your runway. Build it up, keep it above your target, and you've got breathing room when things don't go to plan.
Contractors, freelancers, self-employed — anyone whose income can change month to month. But it works for anyone who wants a straight answer about their finances rather than a breakdown of what they spent at Tesco.
If you've looked at your balance and thought "we're probably fine" without actually checking — this fills that gap.
Runway tracks two levels of spending. Essentials is the floor — rent, utilities, debt payments, the things you can't cut. Total outgoings is everything. Your runway is calculated against the full picture, but you can also see how long you'd last on essentials alone. That gap is worth knowing.
Saving Ahead is the part people miss. Car insurance, the dentist, a family holiday — they don't come out monthly but they will come. Runway takes those annual and one-off costs and works out what you need to set aside each month so they don't catch you short.
Runway is a PWA — it installs directly from Safari and works offline. No App Store, no download.
No bank connections. No open banking. Manual entry only — your data never leaves your device.
