Get weirdly good at money.

Why it works

Reading teaches you the idea. Practice makes it yours.

STUDYING ALONE
Chapters you read once and forget
An answer key that says what — never why
No idea which topics you’re weak in
Hours at a desk you never find time for
WITH THE APP
Short daily reps that build real recall
Every answer explained — and every wrong one too
Accuracy and mastery tracked for each topic
Five minutes, wherever you are
01 — Daily Drill

A few minutes a day is enough.

Five questions, scaled to your rank, with a daily XP bonus for clearing them. Optional reminders and a late-day streak nudge run right on your phone — no account needed.

Reminder · 7:30 pm — “Your drill is waiting. Five questions to keep your streak.”
02 — Instant explanations

Know why — not just what.

Every question comes with a plain-English explanation of the right answer, and why each wrong answer is wrong. It’s the conversation you’d have with me after class.

EXPLANATION
Rent paid in advance is an asset, not an expense — yet.
RightPrepaid Rent is debited: you own a future benefit.
Why notRent Expense is recorded later, as each month is used up.
03 — Weak-Area Review

Review time, never wasted.

Every question you get wrong comes back — again and again — until you’ve mastered it. Accuracy and mastery are tracked for every topic, so review time goes exactly where you need it.

Your path

Fifteen topics. One clear path.

Each topic opens with a bite-sized tutorial, then Level 1 and Level 2 quizzes — 30 quiz sets and 600 questions in all, every one explained in plain English. Topics unlock in order, so you never skip the foundation the next idea is built on.

The same sequence as the textbook — so the app, the Academy and the book all move in step.

“I wrote every question the way I explain it in my classroom. If you can give it five minutes a day, I can get you to the point where the numbers finally make sense.”

Questions, answered.

Do I need any accounting background?

None. The app starts at the very first idea — that every transaction has two sides — and builds from there.

Do I need a Tools Club or Academy membership?

No. The app stands on its own.

Will it send me notifications?

Only if you turn them on. Reminders run locally on your phone and nothing about your usage is sent anywhere.

Do I need to sign in?

No. The app works fully offline without an account. An optional email sign-in just personalises your greetings. You can also switch between light and dark mode and turn sound effects on or off.

Can I share it with a friend?

Yes — share your referral code from the Rewards Hub. When your friend redeems it, you both earn XP.

What comes after the app?

The free mini-courses, the Academy’s full accounting-cycle course and the 13-chapter Northrose textbook all follow the same method.

Your first five questions are waiting.
