Paxio

Read full description

Paxio is a coaching app for people who feel anxious, guilty, or avoidant around money. Not a budgeting app. Not financial advice. Just a calm, private space to understand your emotional relationship with money — and start changing it. **Daily Check-in** Each day, log your anxiety level (1–10) and any triggers. Bills due? Impulse buy? Salary worries? Name it. The simple act of noticing changes the pattern. Paxio tracks your streak and surfaces insights from your history. **AI Coaching Sessions** Four session types — Open Session, Money Shame, Spending Triggers, and Future Vision — let you have a real conversation with an AI coach trained to support emotional money work. No lectures. No judgment. Just a space to talk it through. **CBT Exercises** Ten structured exercises grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy help you rewrite unhelpful money beliefs. Work through them in your own time. First three are always free; the rest unlock as your streak grows. - Money Thought Record — challenge a stressful thought - Avoidance Map — understand what you're avoiding and why - My Money Story — trace your beliefs back to their roots - Financial Gratitude, Comparison Trap, Values vs. Spending, and more **Weekly Insights (Pro)** Paxio's AI reads your check-ins and surfaces patterns: what triggers you most, how your anxiety fluctuates, and what's changing over time. You can't improve what you can't see. **Who it's for** Paxio is for anyone who avoids opening their banking app, feels shame after spending, loses sleep over money, or simply wants a healthier emotional relationship with their finances. You don't need to be in crisis — you just need to be honest. **Privacy first** No sign-in needed: Paxio starts with a private guest account — connect email, Apple or Google later in Settings to keep your records if you change phones. Your data is yours, and Delete My Data is built in. Your coaching messages go to an AI provider (Anthropic) only after you allow it. Paxio does not sell your personal data. **Paxio is a coaching app, not a financial advisory service.** It does not provide investment, tax, or debt advice. The free plan includes daily check-ins, the first three exercises, and one free Open Session conversation per week (up to 10 messages). Paxio Pro unlocks all four session types (up to 60 messages per session and 200 messages a day), all exercises, and weekly AI insights.
