CreditCardIQ is a macOS desktop application that helps users find and compare credit cards based on their preferences. The app focuses on clear, unbiased information by showing all available options and indicating which cards are the best fit.
CreditCardIQ allows users to explore credit card options using a simple search flow. Users select a card type, credit tier, maximum annual fee, and primary spending category. After clicking Show Cards, the app ranks and displays all cards, clearly marking which options are relevant and which are less optimal.
The application runs locally and does not collect or transmit user data.
