The world's first gamified portfolio tracker for income and dividend investors — built in the open and updated often. Your real holdings become characters; their real distributions drive real progression. Nothing here ever touches your money.
Open IncomeRPG →Every income ETF in Canada, with the manager’s own numbers behind it — and a Pay Day that warns you about a cut before it reaches your account.
The page is laid out the way you actually read it. The figure at the top is what landed and nothing else. Under it sits a calendar of the month, then a Breakdown of what each holding paid, then three boxes. 📅 A real… Read the rest in the app →
Line up to ten funds side by side — return, income, and what your money would have done in each — with no account at all. Not a trial and not a preview: open it and it works, and you can search for any fund and swap it… Read the rest in the app →
A whole new page, one tap above Fund Compare on the Track menu. Every number on it comes from the fund manager’s own website — never a data vendor — covering the ten Canadian essentials: Hamilton, Harvest, Global X,… Read the rest in the app →

The whole cast, before you own any of it — and an Advisor that points at the next step instead of the horizon.

Your goal’s little world comes first now — taller, with the GOAL plate sitting up beside fullscreen and the flag keeping its marker. Underneath, one press on ADJUST GOAL jumps straight to the Goals page.

The video revolver on the Welcome tab picks up EP10 · Income Investing Day, taking the portrait shape its Short actually is. Like the others it ships a poster and no video — nothing is fetched until you press play.
They were emoji characters — which every phone, laptop and browser draws differently, and none of them draws in three dimensions. Every row now carries an actual 3D render sitting on its plinth: the chart, the money… Read the rest in the app →

The walkthrough opens with one question — have you invested before? Say yes and you get a thirty-second refresher. Say no and you get a plain-English primer first: what a brokerage is, what a TFSA or RRSP actually… Read the rest in the app →
Every word is defined before it is used, and each scene carries two plain labels — "your costs" and "your income", "price only" and "price plus paid" — so nothing assumes you already speak the language.
The secure window now opens as a proper popup instead of a lost tab, closes itself when you are done, and pulls your holdings in automatically. No hunting for a stray tab, no "I have connected" button to remember. If… Read the rest in the app →
Wealthsimple, Questrade, TD Direct Investing, Robinhood and moomoo now appear on the Welcome page and in the connect screen, with many more available. You still choose yours inside the secure window — these are simply a… Read the rest in the app →
Opening the app used to mean forty-seven separate downloads before anything could appear: about 1.7 MB of code spread across forty-four files, two stylesheets, and a font fetched from another company’s server that held… Read the rest in the app →
Two things scare people off this style of investing and both are usually misread. "High risk" mostly means the price swings around, which only becomes a loss if you sell into it. And a payout that moves is often a fund… Read the rest in the app →
The walkthrough keeps returning to total return — price movement plus everything you were paid — because it is the only measure that answers whether owning something actually worked. The app already calculates it for… Read the rest in the app →
The walkthrough needs roughly half as much scrolling as it did, and moves more responsively. The text panel is solid now rather than see-through, so it no longer washes out against a bright scene, and it sits properly… Read the rest in the app →
With full graphics on, the yard is now a proper illustrated scene: packed dirt, grass, torches, a lit deck and a gazebo. Four versions exist for different screen shapes and your browser downloads only the one it needs.… Read the rest in the app →
Disconnecting a brokerage used to always report success. It now waits for confirmation, and if the link could not be removed on the brokerage side it says so plainly instead of pretending — so you are never left… Read the rest in the app →
The site now has a proper icon in search results, a real description under the link, and a preview card when the address is pasted anywhere. It previously had none of those.
Clearer, faster, and a lot more to play with.
Split an amount across several of your holdings at once and see what each one would pay you — and what they add up to. Flip between just the new income and your whole income after investing. No more guessing how to… Read the rest in the app →
One for you, one for your partner, one for a kid, one for a company. Each gets its own name, its own face — your Castellan or an icon — and its own colour.
Hover any of the six steps and the words swap for a picture of the actual screen, so you can see what you get before you sign up.
The front page no longer opens with jargon. "Some investments pay you just for owning them" — then it explains what a dividend is, in the next sentence.
It now says what it actually is: one holding you crown, that receives a share of every dividend your other holdings pay — a share you choose. You can see the money flow, and you can move the crown any time.
Every screen stopped naming particular funds. Where a choice exists, it describes how the choice behaves and leaves the decision with you.
Trimmed 428 KB off the first load by shipping images at the size they are actually displayed instead of many times larger. Heavy artwork was converted to a modern format, and the app now caches itself so a second visit… Read the rest in the app →
Every step in "how it works" is illustrated with the actual interface rather than a description of it, so you can see exactly what you get before you sign up for anything.
Holdings priced in another currency are converted at the source, dividend income is counted using the rate that was actually in force at the time, and a failed sync can no longer overwrite good data with zeroes.
Everything the app was built on.
Connect in about a minute. Nothing can be bought or sold, and your password never touches this app.
See the cash your holdings actually pay you — by hour, day, week, month or year — and which ones pay the most.
Live value, total return, and a ring that slices your portfolio by the income it produces rather than what it is worth.
Every step recorded with the date you crossed it, and a before/after view of each time you invested.
Every holding becomes a character that levels on real money. A map, quests, mini-games, a card collection, and a Castellan of your own.
Your kingdom follows you between devices. Sign in on a phone and a laptop and both see the same progress, the same holdings and the same milestones.
Holdings in different currencies are converted at the source, so no figure is ever quietly wrong — and a portfolio spanning two countries still adds up to one honest total.
The brokerage connection can only ever read. Nothing can be bought, sold or moved from inside this app, and your brokerage password is never seen by it — you log in on your broker's own secure page, never on ours.
Game rewards — crowns, badges, pets, cosmetics — never touch a real portfolio number. Connecting a real brokerage locks manual editing so the two can never blur together, and everything the game shows you traces back to… Read the rest in the app →
