Pawdiction
overview
Pawdiction is a disposable income prediction application specifically built for people who live paycheck to paycheck. Combined with gamified cat raising mechanics planned for future versions, the app calculates your daily disposable balance based on your spending, fixed bills, and long-cycle bills.
developer story
“As a developer, I used to manually calculate how much I could spend, always feeling like I had no idea where my money went. Now with this app, I can clearly see if I have overspent today. As long as I stay under budget, I know I will save money. It is truly amazing!”
calculation modes
The app provides three different calculation modes to help you distribute your remaining budget across the pay cycle:
Average
Divides your remaining budget evenly across all remaining days. Simple, intuitive, and highly predictable.
Balanced
Weights your allowance higher at the start of your pay cycle and tapers down, closer matching real-world spending patterns.
Progressive
Starts conservatively with strict limits early and gradually increases your daily allowance, helping you build a safety cushion.
Meet the Companions
Different spending habits shape different cat companions. Raise yours through smart financial budgeting.

frequently asked questions
What exactly does Pawdiction calculate?
It calculates your daily disposable balance — the safe amount you can spend today without going over budget by the end of your pay cycle. It factors in fixed bills, variable costs, and long-cycle bills amortised daily.
Does Pawdiction collect or sync my data?
No. Pawdiction is entirely offline and manual-entry. It never connects to your bank, cloud servers, or external tracking utilities. Your personal data stays 100% on your device.
What are long-cycle bills?
These are irregular or annual expenses (like yearly software renewals or quarterly insurance). Pawdiction divides the total cost over the cycle daily, so you are never blindsided when the bill arrives.
How accurate is the tax estimator?
It offers a helpful estimation based on publicly available income tax brackets to guide your budget. It does not account for complex deductions or personal offsets. Always consult a tax professional. Use at your own risk.
