Everything you might want to know about Goal Cue before downloading — inflation-aware goals, pacing, privacy, and how Stripe sync stays on your device.
What is Goal Cue?
Goal Cue is an iPhone app that sets a yearly income goal that automatically rises with inflation, then shows your real-time pace — where you are, where you should be by now, and what it takes to stay on track for the rest of the year.
Who is Goal Cue built for?
Goal Cue is built for freelancers, gig workers, and 1099 contractors hitting annual quotas; salaried professionals tracking raises against inflation; founders tracking personal income or revenue; and anyone whose yearly goal should keep pace with the cost of living.
How does Goal Cue make goals inflation-aware?
Goal Cue uses official inflation data to lift your annual target so it preserves real buying power instead of quietly losing value year over year.
How often does Goal Cue check in with me?
You choose the cadence: Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, or Custom. Each check-in shows where you should be by now, what you have earned, and the pace needed from here.
Does Goal Cue support multiple currencies?
Yes. Goal Cue supports multi-currency tracking with locale-aware formatting, so your goal and earnings always read in the currency that matches how you work.
Is Goal Cue available on the App Store yet?
Yes. Goal Cue is live on the App Store for iPhone. You can download it from the Goal Cue website or directly from the App Store listing.
How much does Goal Cue cost?
Goal Cue is free to download. Goal Cue Plus — the subscription that unlocks tracking — is $9.00/month or $86.00/year, which is about 20% less than paying monthly. Billing is handled by Apple, you can cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings, and your local currency price is shown at checkout.
What is free and what requires Goal Cue Plus?
Onboarding and your preview dashboard are free: you can set your inflation-adjusted goal and see your pace before paying anything. Logging earnings, reminders, and Stripe sync require Goal Cue Plus.
Do I need to connect Stripe to use Goal Cue?
No. Goal Cue works fully with manual earnings entry. Optional Stripe sync only adds automatic earnings totals — your Stripe connection stays on your device.
Does Goal Cue keep my income data private?
Yes. Earnings data and your Stripe connection stay on your device. Optional iCloud backup only covers your goal, reminders, currency, and inflation settings. There are no analytics on your numbers and no third-party trackers.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is required to start tracking. Email sign-in is only used when restoring a previous subscription.
