What's New in ProfitGuard

Latest features and improvements.

2.24.0 — 2026-08-28

Unlock the iPhone app with Face ID so only you can see your deals when you come back.

  • Turn on Face ID (or Touch ID) in Settings so ProfitGuard stays locked when you switch apps. It does not replace sign-in or two-factor authentication.

2.23.1 — 2026-08-20

Mobile Exit Planner now compares flip vs rent vs BRRRR like the web app, S-corp salary % is editable on the project calculator, and Profit Sentinel no longer mistakes a renovation plan for your subscription.

  • On your phone or iPad, Exit Planner now shows flip vs rent vs BRRRR as cards — two across on iPad. Rent estimates list the comps. Change LLC to S-corp and set salary % on the project calculator.
  • The rental calculator on iPad and iPhone now matches the web app: after-tax cash flow, Compare in Exit Planner, Make BRRRR, cap rate, cash-on-cash, and the rent waterfall.
  • The flip calculator on iPhone and iPad now shows the same profit waterfall as the web app — purchase through after-tax net, plus Exit Planner.
  • Project cards on your phone now use the name you gave the deal, and list ROI with after-tax profit. We use after-tax everywhere instead of mixing post-tax.
  • Saving S-corp on a project no longer fails. Asking Profit Sentinel about a renovation plan no longer says you are on Free. The mobile home screen updates when you come back from the web app.
