QuarterSafe is the quarterly tax copilot for US freelancers, 1099 contractors, and gig workers. Log income in two taps and see exactly how much to move into your tax jar - with every IRS deadline counted down on your Lock Screen. The IRS fine print trips up millions of self-employed people every year: quarters that are not really quarters, deadlines that shift for weekends and holidays, the 15.3% self-employment tax everyone forgets, and penalty math that quietly adds up to $1,000 or more. QuarterSafe handles all of it so you can stop worrying and pay on time. KEY FEATURES - US deadline engine: all four federal estimated tax deadlines for 2026, with weekend and federal holiday shift rules applied automatically. Q2 really is just 8 weeks after Tax Day - QuarterSafe never lets it sneak up on you. - Two-tap income logging: enter what a client paid you and instantly see "this one: save $312". Every payment you log updates your quarter target on the spot. - Smart reminder chain: friendly notifications at 21, 14, 7, and 1 day before each deadline, plus deadline day itself. The moment you mark a quarter as paid, the remaining reminders cancel themselves - no nagging after you have paid. - Safe Harbor precision engine (Pro): real compliance math that follows IRS rules - 90% of this year, 100% or 110% of last year, whichever is lower, plus the $1,000 small-balance exemption and the high-income AGI tier. No guesswork. - Simple 30% mode (free): no last-year numbers yet? QuarterSafe falls back to a conservative 30% reserve estimate and tells you honestly that it is a simple mode. - Tax jar with carryforward: watch your jar fill as you set money aside. Overpaid a quarter? The extra rolls into the next one automatically. - Payment ledger and proof vault: record every estimated payment with the method (IRS Direct Pay, EFTPS, check, or other), the confirmation number, and an optional proof photo from your library. - Tax Proof Pack PDF (Pro): one tap exports an audit-ready PDF of every payment - dates, amounts, confirmation numbers, and your proof photos indexed - the record the IRS cannot dispute. - Payment jump-off to IRS Direct Pay: open the official IRS payment site in one tap. QuarterSafe never touches your money or asks for a bank connection. - Lock Screen widget: see the next deadline countdown and your jar progress without opening the app. - All 50 states plus DC: state tax estimates with flat-rate and no-income-tax states handled, and quarterly reminders tuned to your state. - Private by design: no account, no sign-up, no analytics, no bank connection. Everything stays on this iPhone. FREE VS PRO Free: deadline countdown, the full reminder chain, income and expense logging, the 30% simple calculator, the basic Lock Screen widget, and the payment ledger. Pro - one-time $19.99 purchase, not a subscription: the Safe Harbor precision engine, unlimited proof vault entries, Tax Proof Pack PDF export, the full Lock Screen widget with jar progress, income-jump alerts when your earnings surge 40% or more, and multi-year archive. QuarterSafe Pro is a one-time purchase charged to your Apple ID. There is no recurring charge and nothing auto-renews. You can restore your purchase any time from Settings.
