Tristar Dynamics is a solo iOS studio building mobile tools for three of America's largest public workforces — the U.S. military, the U.S. Postal Service, and the federal civil service.
Personal finance for military life — LES decoded, household cash flow, TSP and retirement (BRS vs. Legacy), plus VA disability, GI Bill, and separation planning, from first enlistment to ETS and beyond.
Real-time pay estimates against your craft's actual contract — hour-by-hour tracking that knows Article 8, NS-day calendars, and step-increase and conversion countdowns — for Carriers, Clerks, Mail Handlers, Maintenance, and the Rural craft.
Federal pay made plain — official OPM tables with locality rates for all 58 pay areas, within-grade step timing, and promotion, take-home, and FERS retirement estimates, plus leave accrual and military service buyback — for General Schedule employees, GS-1 to GS-15.
Every Tristar Dynamics app starts the same way: I see people stuck with software that wasn't built for the way their job actually works. So I built the tools that should have already existed — convenient, fast, and shaped around the workday.
No ads, no analytics, no third-party trackers. Sensitive inputs like pay stubs are read on your device, your data is never sold, and you can delete all of it anytime.
A private and a clerk should be able to afford the app on payday. Pricing is set against the audience, not against what the App Store will tolerate.
Every feature ships because someone in the field needs it, not because it polls well. If it doesn't survive contact with the actual job, it doesn't ship.
