⚡ HOW IT WORKS
Six steps. What you do, and what you get for doing it.
“I own some ETFs. I have no idea how much they actually pay me.”
🔗 Connect your brokerage
Takes about a minute. It is read-only — nothing can be bought or sold, and your password never touches this app.
WHAT YOU GETYou finally see what you own — and what it pays
Your real investments load in. Each one turns into a character. The more money you have in it, the higher its level. If you sell it, it leaves. None of it is made up.
“Tracking my money is boring. I stop checking after a week.”
⚔️ Press “Start Castellan's Conquest”
It's the big green button. Pick your character's name and how they look.
WHAT YOU GETA reason to actually come back
You get your own character, plus a map to explore, quests, mini-games and a card collection. Investing real money is what levels it all up.
“Which of my investments actually pays me the most?”
💰 Open “Dividend Stats”
One tap under Track. See your income by hour, day, week, month or year.
WHAT YOU GETYou see who really pays you
Most apps only show which investment is biggest. This one shows which pays you the most cash. They are often not the same — and that gap is the whole point of investing for income.
“I have $10,000 to invest. How much would it actually pay me?”
🔬 Tap “Test Contributions”
It's in the Holdings Lab. Pick something you own and type the amount.
WHAT YOU GETYour answer in two seconds
It uses that investment's real price and real payout and tells you: this much per month, this much per year. No spreadsheet. It only does the math on what you already own — it never tells you what to buy.
“I get paid dividends. Then what — do I just spend them?”
👑 Move the “Feed the King” slider
Slide it anywhere from 0% to 100%.
WHAT YOU GETYou decide what your dividends do next
Choose how much of your dividend money gets reinvested, and how much you keep as cash. You see the split in real dollars straight away. You choose — the app never chooses for you.
“Am I actually making progress? It's hard to tell.”
🏆 Just keep investing in real life
That's it. No daily logins. No timers. Nothing to pay to speed up.
WHAT YOU GETEvery step forward is saved for good
Each time you invest, the app records it. You can look back at your money before and after each one, and see the dated moments you hit along the way. You can't buy any of it — only real money unlocks it.
🎮 INSIDE INCOMERPG
Where your portfolio becomes a world








⚔️ THREE INCOME CLASSES + ONE GROWTH CROWN
How IncomeRPG organises what you own
IncomeRPG sorts income ETFs into three groups based on payout level and risk, then lets you feed part of those payouts into one crowned growth ETF.
Bigger payouts. More aggressive. Higher risk.
Balanced payouts. Balanced risk.
Smaller payouts. Usually steadier.
‹ arrow or swipe for the other four in each class · EVO 1–5 is the same creature at five stages of growth
15 species. 5 evolutions each. 75 in all. Which species a fund gets is fixed by its ticker — the same fund is the same creature for every player, forever. Its evolution stage is set by how much you have invested in it. These are classes, not ratings: higher yield is not automatically better.
No payouts. He just grows.
Every payout above can be fed here — you set what percentage. One portfolio, two jobs: income now, growth later.
The Feeder Strategy
Your income ETFs pay cash distributions. You choose what percentage of those payments gets redirected into one growth-focused ETF.
Income classes generate the cash. Your crowned ETF receives part of it.
They never take the field. The field is theirs.
A growth ETF pays you little or nothing today. What it does instead is get bigger — and that is a different job, not a worse one.
Income investing earned its place: real cash, in real months, that keeps paying while a market falls. Growth investing earned its place too. Most real portfolios are some of both, and this app should be able to hold that without picking a fight. Under 6% yield a fund becomes a Builder — it stops being measured by a distribution it was never trying to pay.
🔥 Which Builder you get is decided by how close to paying you the fund is. At 0% you have a Quarryman cutting cold stone with no fire anywhere. Climb through the Mason, the Stonehand and the Foreman, whose lantern is the first light — and just under 6% you find the Forgemaster, whose forge is already roaring.
What a growth portfolio actually gets here
- Every tracker, unchanged. Value, all-time return, net deposits, per-account views, Fund Compare, the Retirement Calculator and the Goals page do not care how a fund pays you. They were built on price and contributions, which is exactly what a growth portfolio is made of.
- Milestones you can actually cross. The Journey ranks portfolio VALUE and contributions, not just income — so a growth holding climbs the same wall. Nothing on it requires a distribution.
- A cast that levels like any other. Five species, five evolutions, real collectible cards, and Hero Level computed over your whole portfolio. Builders are deliberately quieter than three saturated fighting classes — stone, not neon — but they are not lesser.
- And a job that is coming. Builders are built for the Kingdom Map: the ones who raise what the fighting classes defend. That is the part of the game they will own.
Straight with you: Builders earn no distributions and feed the King nothing, so they take no expedition slot and win no battle rewards. That is the class, not an oversight — and nothing here changes what your income classes pay you.
❓ QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Everything people usually want to know before they connect, explore, or commit
Quick answers. No fluff.
🔐Setup, safety & cost
💳What does it cost?Pricing
$59.99 a year — or $34.99 a year if you join during the beta as a Founder, a price that never rises for as long as your subscription stays active. One price, everything included — there are no tiers, add-ons or upsells inside the app.
Free: this Welcome page and the full 20-part walkthrough. Read everything, understand the whole system, decide in your own time.
Premium unlocks the rest of the app — brokerage sync, all your tracking pages, contribution testing, milestones, and the game itself.
There is no free trial. Cancel any time from your account — it is a normal Stripe subscription, not a contract.
👀Can I see it before I subscribe?Pricing
Not as a trial, no — but you do not have to buy blind either.
This whole page is free, and so is the walkthrough — twenty parts covering how income funds work, what covered calls cost you, leverage, total return and the Feeder Strategy. It is the entire idea the app is built on, explained before you pay for anything.
There is also a video library showing the app in use — currently on Instagram — so you can watch the real thing running on a real portfolio rather than take our word for it.
Subscribing is what connects your brokerage and turns those explanations into your own numbers.
🚪What happens if I cancel?Pricing
You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for, then the app returns to the free view.
Nothing is done to your money. Your investments were never held here — they stayed at your brokerage the whole time, and cancelling does not touch them.
You can disconnect a brokerage yourself at any point, with or without cancelling. That revokes the read-only access immediately.
It is a normal Stripe subscription — cancel from your account, no email required, no retention maze.
🏛️Which brokerages can I connect?Setup
Canadian and US brokerages, including ones like Wealthsimple, Questrade, TD Direct Investing, Robinhood and Moomoo.
The list is SnapTrade's, not ours, and it changes as they add institutions — so the connect screen always shows what is actually available the moment you open it. That is the authoritative list, not this page.
If yours is not on the list, IncomeRPG cannot read your holdings yet — the walkthrough is still free to read, and the list grows.
🔗Can you connect more than one brokerage?Setup
Yes. You can link several supported brokerages to one IncomeRPG account, so everything you own is tracked in one place instead of split across platforms.
Each connection gets its own name and colour, and you can view them one at a time or combined.
Multiple connections are in beta — please report anything that looks wrong.
🏦Can you connect multiple accounts from the same brokerage?Setup
Usually yes. One connection is one brokerage login, and that login brings in every account it already covers — so a TFSA and an RRSP under the same login arrive together.
If you need accounts that sit under a different login, add a second connection. Each one is stored and shown separately, so you can always see which holdings came from where.
Which accounts are available is decided by your brokerage, not by IncomeRPG.
📱Does it work on my phone?Setup
Yes. It is built for phones first and you can install it to your home screen — it then opens like an app, full screen, with no browser bar.
Your kingdom is saved to your account, so the same portfolio, progress and Castellan follow you between your phone, tablet and desktop.
🔒Does IncomeRPG hold or move my money?Security
No. Your money stays at your brokerage, in your name. IncomeRPG connects with read-only access and cannot buy, sell, withdraw, or move anything.
You never send IncomeRPG money to invest, and you never invest through it. You invest through your own brokerage exactly as you do now.
The connection itself is handled by on your brokerage's own login page — your credentials never pass through this app.
🗄️What happens to my data?Security
We store your email, your subscription status, and your saved kingdom so it follows you between devices. That is it.
We never see or store your brokerage password. The connection is held as a token issued by SnapTrade, which is what lets us read your positions — and nothing else.
Your data is not sold, and it is not shared with advertisers. Disconnecting a brokerage removes its access, and deleting your account removes the save with it.
🔄How current are the numbers?Portfolio
Prices refresh live while you use the app, cached for about ten minutes so a page you re-open is not re-fetching the same quote.
Holdings come from your brokerage through SnapTrade, which keeps its own copy and refreshes it on its own schedule — often about once a day. So a fund you bought this morning may not appear immediately.
Pressing Re-sync asks your brokerage for fresh data first, then reads it. That is a real request to your institution, so it only happens when you press the button — never on a timer.
If a brand-new position still does not show, give it a minute and press again. The brokerage end is not always instant.
🧪It says BETA — should I be worried?Straight answer
The badge is honest, and it means one thing: the app is still changing quickly. Features get added, screens get rebuilt, and the What's New notes move often. If you want something frozen and finished, this is not that yet.
What beta does not mean here is risk to your money. There is nothing to unwind — your investments sit at your own brokerage, in your name, and IncomeRPG only ever reads them. If it vanished overnight you would lose a tracker, not a dollar.
The money side is also where the care goes. Figures are cross-checked against what your brokerage actually paid, anything the app cannot verify is refused rather than estimated, and the calculations carry a test suite that has to pass before any release ships.
Priced accordingly, cancellable any time, and you can read this entire walkthrough before spending anything.
🔍What if a number looks wrong?Portfolio
Tell us. For a tracker there is no such thing as a small numbers bug, and they are the ones that get fixed first.
Most of the time the cause is timing rather than maths — your brokerage had not published the trade yet. Press Re-sync, which asks your institution for fresh data instead of re-reading a stored copy.
The app is deliberately built to refuse rather than guess: a holding with no price or distribution on record shows "no data" instead of a confident zero, an unconvertible currency stops a total rather than silently mixing dollars, and a fund's declared payout is checked against the cash your broker actually paid you.
Unknown is never displayed as zero. If a figure is on screen, something real is behind it.
🧭What it actually is
🎮Isn't gamifying investing a bad idea?Straight answer
It is, when the game pushes you to trade. That is the version people rightly dislike — confetti for buying, streaks for logging in, nudges dressed as fun.
This one cannot do any of that. IncomeRPG cannot place a trade at all — the connection is read-only. There are no timers, no streaks to protect, and nothing that rewards you for buying or selling today rather than in a year.
Progress comes from one thing: what you actually own. You cannot buy crowns, levels or cards with real money — the only thing money buys is the subscription itself.
And the rewards are cosmetic. A castle, a card, a title. None of it touches your real portfolio or changes a single number the app reports.
🎯Is this a real financial tracker, or a game with numbers?Straight answer
A tracker first. It is built for people chasing financial independence, and the tracking is where nearly all the work has gone.
The 📊 Track pages are the proof: total return that separates deposits from gains, income sliced by what each holding actually pays, milestones dated from your real brokerage history, contribution testing that refuses to guess when it has no data, and a budget view so income can be measured against what your life costs.
None of that is decoration. Get any of it wrong and the app is worthless, which is why the numbers are held to a stricter standard than the game is.
The game comes second — it exists to make a decade of consistent investing something you want to come back to. It changes nothing about your money, and if you never opened it the tracker would still stand on its own.
A financial tracker that happens to be fun. Not a game that happens to hold your numbers.
🎬Can I watch it working before I buy?See it
Yes. There is a video library showing the app in use, running on a real portfolio rather than a mock-up — you can watch it on Instagram →
Reading that a portfolio becomes a kingdom is one thing. Watching a distribution land, a holding evolve a tier, and a milestone date itself is what actually makes the idea click.
It is moving onto this page shortly. The 20-part walkthrough here is free in the meantime, and covers the strategy the whole app is built around.
📊What does IncomeRPG actually track?Portfolio
Everything lives under one 📊 Track menu. Nine views, each answering a different question:
- — what it is all worth right now, your total return, and a ring showing which holding is what share of it.
- — what each holding actually pays you, sliced by income instead of by value. Most apps only slice by value.
- — up to ten funds at once, in dollars, with what they actually pay you and the rough patches shown.
- — your journey with real dates, rebuilt from your own brokerage history rather than the day you signed up.
- 🔥 — your latest deployment as a before ⟶ after, showing what that money actually bought you in income.
- — every holding's real numbers in one table, under your own nicknames.
- — split an amount across holdings and see what each would add per month, before you spend it.
- — money in versus money out, so portfolio income can be measured against what your life actually costs.
- — what you would need to retire, and whether what you hold now could actually get you there.
All of it is built from what your brokerage reports. Nothing is typed twice, and nothing is estimated when the real figure is available.
🧭Is there anything else like this?Why this
There are good dividend trackers, and there are good portfolio dashboards. They mostly show you the same thing in the same shape: a table.
What is different here is that the portfolio is the game. Your holdings are the characters, what you have invested is what levels them, and the distributions they pay are the resource the whole world runs on. There is no separate game economy layered on top — remove your real portfolio and there is nothing left to play.
Whether that appeals is a matter of taste. It is built for people who found the spreadsheet accurate and easy to ignore.
📋Why not just use a spreadsheet?Why this
If your spreadsheet is working, keep it. Plenty of good investors never need anything else.
What this does that a sheet does not: it pulls your real positions in so nothing is typed twice or left stale, it prices a contribution before you make it, it dates your milestones from your actual history, and it gives you a reason to open it on a month when nothing much happened.
The maths is not the hard part of long-term investing. Staying interested for a decade is.
⚔️What are the three income classes?Strategy
IncomeRPG groups income ETFs into three classes by payout level and risk: High Yield, Mid Yield and Low Yield.
In the game those appear as Horsemen, Rangers and Shieldmen.
These are classifications, not ratings. Higher yield is not automatically better.
🪙What is the Feeder Strategy?Strategy
You choose a percentage of the cash your income ETFs pay out, and that share is redirected into one growth-focused ETF instead of being spent or reinvested into the income side.
It gives one portfolio two jobs: income now, growth later. You set the percentage, and you can change it any time.
This is IncomeRPG's own framework, not a standard industry term. It does not create extra return on its own — it only decides where part of your distributions go.
👑What is the Fat King?Strategy
The Fat King is your crowned growth ETF — the single holding that receives the percentage of payouts you choose to feed into growth.
You pick who wears the crown from what you already own, and you can re-crown a different holding whenever you like.
What crowning actually does: the feed converts income into something else. Crown a holding that grows more than it pays and every feed compounds into growth. Crown a high-yield holding and the feed largely circles back into the same income pool. Both are valid — they just do different jobs. Which one fits your plan is your call.
🃏What are Hero Cards and Evolutions?Game layer
Hero Cards turn each holding into a collectible card with its own art, class and level — so your portfolio reads as characters rather than a row of tickers.
Evolutions are how those characters advance. As the amount you have invested in a holding crosses each , its card evolves into a stronger form, and the app shows exactly how much further the next one is.
Cosmetic only. Nothing in the game layer changes your real portfolio or the numbers it reports.
🌱Is this only for income investing?Portfolio
It is built around income investing, and that is what it does best — cadence, distributions, yield on cost, F.I.R.E. progress.
But it reads everything your brokerage reports. Growth holdings appear, get valued, and count toward your ; they simply contribute little or nothing to the income side. The Feeder Strategy exists precisely because most people hold both.
A portfolio with no income funds at all will still track correctly — it will just have a very quiet income figure.
