Is your side income enough to quit on?
FIREBar puts every side income stream in one place, then answers the question you are actually asking — not “what did I earn this month”, but “what can I count on next month”.
The bar is your monthly target. Clear it, and quitting becomes a real conversation.
Inside the app
What you actually look at
What FIRE actually means
Financial Independence, Retire Early
FIRE is built on an aggressive savings rate, deliberate spending and long-horizon investing — the goal being to buy back your time decades earlier than the default path allows.
It isn’t one target. Which variant you’re aiming at simply changes how high your bar sits:
Lean FIRE
A deliberately low cost of living. The bar sits low — and side income can clear it surprisingly early.
Barista FIRE
Part-time or low-stress work covers the rest. The bar is partial: you only need to close the gap.
Fat FIRE
No compromise on lifestyle. The bar is high, and steadiness matters far more than any single good month.
FIREBar doesn’t pick one for you. You set the bar; it tells you, honestly, how close you are.
Features
Four things it does well
Every stream in one place
Consulting, marketplace sales, ad revenue share, app subscriptions — one-off orders and monthly settlements are recorded the same way, with no separate bookkeeping.
Three honest readings
Replacement rate as this month, six-month median, and worst month. Plus consecutive months on target — the signal that actually matters.
One-press capture
Open Quick Capture and type or dictate naturally. Mention several incomes in one go and FIREBar separates them into cards for review. Screenshot capture remains available.
Your records stay yours
Confirmed records live on your device and your own iCloud. Screenshots are never uploaded. No account, no ads, no analytics SDKs.
Concentration risk
Looks diversified. Isn’t.
Two thousand a month across four channels sounds resilient. If three quarters of it comes from one platform, it isn’t — one throttling or policy change and it’s gone.
FIREBar surfaces the share of your largest source and says so plainly when it crosses your threshold. That single number is the difference between a bookkeeping app and a decision tool.
Start with the first entry
You can’t judge your situation without real data. Record one, and in a few months you’ll see where you actually stand.
