Personal loans shouldn’t require a spreadsheet, so I built LendPal

Hey everyone,

I just launched LendPal on Product Hunt today.

LendPal - Track loans, repayments, and due dates between friends

LendPal is an iPhone app built specifically for money you lend to friends and family—not general budgeting. Organize loans by person, monitor balances and due dates, record repayments, and see your lending portfolio at a glance. The free plan supports seven active loans; Premium adds unlimited loans, reminders, full history, CSV export, and iCloud sync.

Your keyboard is the slowest part of your working day and you have no idea what it costs you.

Take a look at my own numbers from the last three months: 167,820 words dictated! But what is the impact? An average person types around 45 words a minute and speaks around 150. So an hour of typing produces about 2,700 words, and an hour of talking produces about 9,000. Same hour, three times the output. I spend the difference on longer prompts and fuller answers to my team, and I didn't add another hour to my day to get there :)

 

My own numbers are the small story. Worldwide, people have run 683,838 phrases through Lispr and skipped about seven months of typing. Seven months! Counted in working hours that is 1,232 of them, one person sitting at a keyboard eight hours a day from January through to the end of July, and nobody had to be that person. Those hours went straight back into people's lives.
