Stop exposing your credit or debit card information and protect your online payments with Privacy. Join over 250,000 users who have saved millions of dollars by using Privacy to block unwanted charges from compromised cards, overcharging, hidden fees, and forgotten subscriptions. Getting started with Privacy is simple: create your account, verify your information, securely link your bank account or debit card, and request your first virtual card. Start shopping and enjoy the added layer of protection Privacy provides to protect you from payment card theft and fraud. Benefits: - Shield your true financial information: Our Privacy Cards mask your debit card or bank account number to help protect you from card theft and fraud. Pay with greater privacy and security anytime, anywhere on desktop or on mobile. - Create merchant-locked and one-time-use cards: Our cards automatically "lock" to the first merchant they are used at, so if the merchant is ever breached, the card number can never be used anywhere else. You can also create one-time-use cards that automatically close after a single transaction. - Take complete control over your spending: Set customizable spending limits to prevent overcharging and block hidden fees—perfect for managing subscriptions and recurring expenses. If a transaction goes over the limit, we will automatically decline it. - Leverage real-time transaction monitoring: Receive notifications any time a Privacy Card is used. Easily pause, unpause, and close Privacy Cards any time with just one push of a button. Privacy’s core product is free to use on domestic transactions, because, like other card companies, we collect transaction fees from merchants. Privacy Cards can be used at most merchants that accept credit and debit cards. The security of our users’ personal information and data is critical to everything that we do at Privacy. You can review our security policies at https://privacy.com/security. Read about us in Forbes, Wirecutter, and The Wall Street Journal!

About

Green Prophet

Features
Read full description

Green Prophet shows you where your bank balance is headed — days, weeks, or months ahead — so you can spot a shortfall before it happens. Most budgeting apps want your bank login, a monthly subscription, and a cloud account. Green Prophet wants none of that. You enter your recurring bills and income once, and it projects your running balance forward, day by day, as a simple chart. That's it. WHY GREEN PROPHET No bank logins — you enter your own bills and income Fully offline — your data never leaves your device No subscription, no ads, no account, ever Free HOW IT WORKS Enter your current balance and your recurring transactions. Green Prophet calculates your projected balance for every day in your chosen range and shows it as a running-balance chart, with a clear minimum-balance line so you always know your lowest point ahead. EVERY SCHEDULE Daily, weekly, monthly, twice-monthly, quarterly, twice-yearly, and annual — set the real-world pattern for each bill and paycheck. Mark a transaction when it clears, or skip one you didn't make, and the forecast updates instantly. WHAT IT'S NOT Green Prophet isn't a full budgeting system and it doesn't track spending categories. It answers one question well: where will my balance be? Built for anyone with irregular income or a balance worth watching — freelancers, variable paychecks, or bills that don't line up neatly with payday. This is our first release — we'd love your feedback.
