It's an app that produces 20 random published rosters on the 15th. It then combines these rosters so that you have half an idea of what CC will do to you during the month. I heard it was actually developed by CC and not a pilot

It calculates potential short-term profit while adjusting fun variables such as hull-loss risk, employee morale, staff turnover and company reputation.
There's also a 'Valuation Increase' function included which can drastically increase the valuation of the company before a prospective sale. It quickly identifies sources of increased revenue while targeting operating costs which add little to the value of the business, such as pilots.
They've been using it for years. And yes, it was written by a pilot.

D*mnit!
I just tried purchasing the above apps, but I got an error message each time saying for CX employees the apps are only available by floppy disk and it would take 6-8 weeks to process my refund.
For all other users you can just download it like usual.

All gold 
But to answer what I think may be a serious question, the app is a called "final fuel" tried it out a while ago and to be honest while it works great I don't bother using it.

No, the App ISN'T called Final Fuel. There is another app designed by a French FO on the 777. Not sure if it is complete and available yet, but it makes Final Fuel look like something your 7 year old designed for a school project!

Nitpicker,
I have seen the app in question and I can assure you that it isn't a dream. When it is released you won't need Final Fuel as the new app does that almost as an aside, and is aircraft tail specific. As soon as you go online, EVERYTHING updates....something I'm sure the CX IT department think is Harry Potteresque!!

We can dream, hey!!
Seriously, though, it has been done for the 777 first, 400 next and 330 thereafter I believe. And it really is an exceptional job that he has done. All manuals, FCOMS etc, all tail specific, 3600 airports with all their info, and everything updates as soon as you go online.
It should have been out by now, so maybe there was some delay...
