What VentureGauge does
A clear gauge for progress toward break-even. Not a replacement for the software that already runs the business.
Features
Visual break-even gauge
See percentage of costs covered, units remaining until break-even, units required to break even, and how far a profitable reading sits above break-even — in ordinary language.
Simple financial inputs
Enter revenue per unit, variable cost per unit, fixed expenses, and units sold. You do not need to learn accounting formulas.
Progress beyond break-even
The gauge does not treat 100% as a ceiling. After costs are covered, it keeps showing how far the venture has moved beyond break-even based on the numbers you entered.
Multiple ventures
Keep more than one venture, each with its own numbers. A food truck, a freelance practice, and a side shop can sit side by side.
Venture notes
Write notes next to a venture so the story behind the numbers stays with the venture.
Details and visual identity
Name the venture, choose an icon, or add a photo so it is easy to recognize in the list.
Local-first storage
VentureGauge stores venture information locally on your device and does not require a VentureGauge account or VentureGauge cloud sync.
Light and dark appearance
Use system, light, or dark appearance from Settings so the gauge stays readable in the conditions you prefer.
Accessible mobile experience
The app is built for phones, with readable type, large controls, and support for larger system text sizes.
What VentureGauge does not do
VentureGauge does not connect to banks, shops, or payment systems. It does not manage inventory, payroll, customers, or books. It does not forecast the future or give financial advice. Results depend on the values you enter.
Other apps can still run the business. VentureGauge shows whether it is paying for itself. Read the FAQ or Support page for more detail.
