One developer, three apps
RationalBit is Carlos Garcia. There is no team behind the curtain, and that is the point.
I'm Carlos Garcia. I've been building software for over twelve years, and RationalBit is where I put the apps I wanted to exist and couldn't find.
All three started the same way — as a problem I actually had. I wanted to budget without handing my bank credentials to a startup, so I built Money Map. I wanted to know when my kids had had enough sun, so I built UV Buddy. I wanted a way to bring what was actually on my mind to scripture, so I built Walk With Jesus.
Why the apps are built the way they are
The apps are opinionated about privacy because I am. Money Map has no bank connection, no account and no server holding your transactions — not as a feature to market, but because I did not want to be the person holding thousands of strangers' financial histories. Walk With Jesus keeps your journal on your device and out of analytics for the same reason.
That architecture costs something. Money Map cannot refresh your balances by itself, and it never will. I would rather be honest about that trade-off than paper over it, which is why the guides say so plainly, and why the FAQ on this site includes the answers that lose me installs.
