About Help-Pal

 

Help-Pal is a small collection of free apps built for everyday jobs: tracking your weight, working out what a mile costs you as a driver, pricing the crafts you sell, logging side-gig income, keeping a flock of chickens, and more.

 

Why we build them

 

Most tracking apps want an account, a subscription, or both. We think a lot of people just want a simple tool that works. Our rule is "Bic, not Mont Blanc": keep it low-cost, plain, and useful. Every Help-Pal app is free to use, with ads. There are no paid plans and no subscriptions.

 

Who is behind it

 

Help-Pal is a small independent project run by Albert Jones. We build and maintain the apps ourselves. We are not a large company, and we would rather make a few things that work well than a lot of things that don't.

 

What we make

 

You can see everything on our app collection page. A few examples:

 

- Scale Pal helps you weigh in daily and see your trend without obsessing over it.

- FareMax is a cost-per-mile planner for rideshare and delivery drivers.

- Craft Pal helps craft sellers price their work and see their profit.

- GigKeep logs hours and dollars for side gigs.

- CoopKeep and QuailKeep track backyard chickens and quail.

- Quit Pal helps people stay off cigarettes.

- Pill Pal looks up what a medication is for and its known side effects.

- Senior Pal lists senior discounts by city and shows the age each one starts.

 

- Townline and Worldline collect local and world news headlines in one place.

- Perfect Restaurant Scores lists restaurants with excellent recent health inspections.

 

We also read and write guides on the topics behind these apps. You can find them on our Guides page.

 

How the apps stay free

 

The apps show ads from Google AdSense, and we use Google Analytics to see which pages people use so we can improve them. We don't sell your personal information. Most apps keep what you enter on your own device. Our Privacy Policy explains the details.

 

Not professional advice

 

Some of our apps and guides touch on health, money, and taxes. They are for general information and personal tracking only. They are not medical, financial, tax, or legal advice. Talk to a qualified professional about your own situation.
