Common questions

What does the free version include?

Up to two grants, your full vesting timeline, vested and unvested values, automatic daily price updates, and ESPP tracking. No account, no sign-up.

Pro adds unlimited grants, after-tax estimates, the tax shortfall warning, sell scenarios, concentration risk, vest reminders, and CSV/PDF export.

Why does the app say I'll owe tax at tax time?

Most employers withhold a flat rate on RSU vests — often around 22% in the US. If your actual marginal rate is higher, the difference isn't withheld, and it comes due when you file.

The app multiplies your upcoming vests by the gap between the two rates so you can set the money aside early. Both rates are yours to set in Settings, and both are estimates. This isn't tax advice — check the numbers with your accountant.

Where do stock prices come from, and how often do they update?

Prices come from a market data provider and refresh automatically about once an hour while you're using the app. Pull down on the dashboard to refresh sooner.

They're delayed quotes meant for tracking, not trading. Don't use them to time a sale.

My prices aren't updating.

Check your internet connection first, then pull down on the dashboard to force a refresh. The app keeps showing your last known prices rather than zeroing out.

If your company isn't publicly traded, there's no ticker to look up — enter the price manually and it stays until you change it.

Still stuck after a few hours? Email me with the ticker and I'll check the data source.

Does this connect to my brokerage, employer, or Fidelity/E*TRADE/Schwab account?

No. Nothing is linked and nothing is imported. You enter your grant details yourself, which is why the app never asks for a login.

Where is my data stored?

On your device only. There's no account, no server, and no sync. Deleting the app deletes your grants along with it, so export a CSV or PDF first if you want to keep a copy.

I bought Pro but the app doesn't show it.

Open Settings and tap Restore purchases. Make sure you're signed in to the same Apple Account you bought with.

If it still doesn't unlock, email me and include the receipt from Apple.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are handled by Apple, not by me. Open the iOS Settings app, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and cancel there. You keep Pro until the period you've paid for ends.

Lifetime is a one-time purchase, so there's nothing to cancel.

I'm not getting vest reminders.

Reminders are a Pro feature and need notification permission. Check iOS Settings → Notifications → RSU Tracker, then turn reminders off and back on in the app's Settings.

The app schedules the vests coming up soonest. If you track many grants at once, distant vests are scheduled as nearer ones pass.

Can I track ISOs, NSOs, or options?

Not yet — the app covers RSUs and ESPP today. Options are taxed differently enough that doing them badly would be worse than not doing them at all. They're what I'm working on next.

Is this tax or investment advice?

No. Every number in the app is an estimate based on what you enter, including the tax figures and sell scenarios. Talk to a qualified professional before making decisions about your equity.

Requesting a refund? Purchases go through Apple, so refunds do too — use reportaproblem.apple.com. Email me either way and I'll help where I can.
