Dosh Pot answers one everyday money question: how much of your current balance is really available after the rest of this month’s payments? Enter your current balance and regular payments once. Dosh Pot subtracts payments due today or later this month, then shows what’s left, how many days remain, and a whole-pound daily allowance that never rounds up. PLAN WITH CLARITY • See your available balance after upcoming payments • Separate payments still to go from payments already gone • See your suggested daily allowance for the remaining days of the month • Make one-off changes to payment dates or amounts without losing your regular setup • Reset temporary changes whenever you need to MAKE IT FIT YOUR LIFE • Create separate pots for the accounts, budgets, or spending plans you want to track • Give each pot its own name, icon, and colour • Add individual payments or group related payments into a single summary • Choose which pots appear in your widget KEEP IT CLOSE • Add a Dosh Pot widget to your Home Screen or Today View • Check your amount left on Apple Watch and use an amount-left complication • Ask Siri or use App Shortcuts to open Dosh Pot or check what’s left SHARE A HOUSEHOLD POT Invite family members with iCloud accounts to share a household balance and regular-payment list. Everyone can help keep the same plan up to date. YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL Dosh Pot does not connect to your bank or move money. You enter the balance and payments yourself. Your data is stored on your devices and, when household sharing is enabled, synchronised using Apple’s iCloud services. An internet connection and iCloud sign-in are required for sharing.
