Add an expense just by saying it out loud. No bank logins, no spreadsheet. SimplifyPocket is a personal finance tracker and budget app that keeps money simple: log spending by voice, snap a receipt, or ask your own money assistant, then see exactly where it all goes. Nothing to connect and no permissions to grant, so you are tracking in under a minute. A calm, focused expense tracker you will actually open every day. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Add expenses by voice Hold the mic and say what you spent. "Twenty on lunch, fifteen on parking." SimplifyPocket fills in the amount, merchant, category, and date, then you review and save. Speech is transcribed on your iPhone, so audio never leaves the device. • Snap a receipt Point your camera at any receipt. AI reads the merchant, total, and date, turns it into a ready-to-save entry, and you confirm in a tap. No manual typing. • Just say "Hey Pocket" Your hands-free assistant. Say "Hey Pocket" to log a purchase, jump to a screen, or ask about your money, all without touching the keyboard. • Ask Pocket anything Chat with a money assistant that actually knows your budget. "Can I afford dinner out?" "How is my grocery budget doing?" Pocket answers in plain language using your real numbers. • Budgets that update live Set a budget for each category and watch the progress move as you spend. Clear alerts show where you stand, with no end-of-month surprises. A budget planner that works the way you actually spend. • Budgets that reset on your payday Your paycheck doesn't reset on the 1st, so your budget shouldn't either. Pick when your cycle starts and budgets reset when money actually arrives. • Share it with your partner Budget together in one shared space. Invite your partner by email and you both see the same transactions and budgets, kept in sync. One subscription covers you both. • See where your money goes Every budget shows spending against its limit, so you can spot where it's going at a glance and know what's left before you overspend. • Prefer to type? Paste a whole list Add one expense fast, or paste a batch of transactions and save them all at once. • Alerts you control Get notified when a budget is running low or goes over. Set your own thresholds or turn alerts off entirely. PERFECT FOR Couples who want to budget together, anyone who tried a bank-syncing budget app and quit, spreadsheet trackers who want something faster, and anyone who just wants to know where their money goes without handing over bank passwords. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY • No bank connections. Ever. You enter what you want to track. • No ads. No tracking across apps. • Audio from voice entry stays on your iPhone. Only the transcript reaches our backend. • Delete your account in the app any time.
