## What is Expense Tracker?

Meet Pocketpal — the friendliest way to track every dollar that moves through your accounts. Whether you're paying down debt, saving for a trip, or just making payday last, Pocketpal gives you a calm, beautiful place to see exactly where your money goes. No spreadsheets. No guilt. Just you and Pal, your personal money coach.

— Why people love Pocketpal —

• Track every dollar in one calm view. Cash, debit, credit, and linked bank accounts roll up into a single balance and a clean monthly view.

• Log expenses by voice. Just say "12 dollars on coffee" and Pocketpal logs it — categorized and done in seconds.

• Scan any receipt. Snap a photo and Pal reads the merchant, total, and items, then fills in the transaction for you.

• See trouble before it hits. A 30-day cashflow forecast projects your balance ahead so you can spot a tight week before payday — not after.

• Budgets that adapt. Set a monthly cap once and Pocketpal nudges you with a friendly heads-up as you get close — never a lecture.

• Meet Pal, your money coach. Proactive, judgment-free nudges and predictive tips that learn your habits and help you reach your goals.

• Recurring on autopilot. Subscriptions, rent, paychecks — log them once and Pocketpal posts them on the right day, every month.

• Bank linking, if you want it. Securely connect 12,000+ banks via Plaid for automatic, categorized transactions. Prefer manual? Pocketpal works beautifully that way too.

• Private by design. Your data lives in your account — never sold, never shared with advertisers. Face ID / Touch ID unlock and an optional PIN keep it locked down.
