About

Pouch

Features
Read full description

Pouch is a minimalist expense tracker that keeps your money data where it belongs — on your phone. Log an expense in seconds with a fast keypad, then organize it three ways: a category (always one), tags (as many as you like), and a group (for trips, projects, or budgets). Everything else — insights, calendars, group dashboards — is computed live from what you've logged. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE • No account, no sign-up — open the app and start • Works completely offline; the app makes no network requests • No ads, no analytics, no tracking • Export your full history anytime as CSV or JSON via the share sheet • Delete the app and the data is gone — nothing lives in a cloud DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY • Fast add: keypad, date strip, and inline category, tag and group pickers • Today: your day at a glance with a running monthly pulse • Calendar: your spending mapped over the month • Groups: budgets with progress bars and per-group dashboards • Insights: honest, card-based analysis that appears only when your data supports it • Search your entire history by note, amount, category, or date • Custom categories and tags with a curated icon set FIRST LAUNCH Pouch starts with a short guide and a few clearly-marked sample entries so you can feel the app immediately. One tap ("Start fresh") wipes the samples and hands you a clean ledger. Pouch is completely free. Questions or ideas? coding.harshp@gmail.com
