No ads. No accounts to forget the password to. Log expenses in 5 seconds A clean, single-screen entry. Pick a wallet, tap a category, type the amount. Done.

Create a wallet in any of 150+ currencies. Transfer between wallets โ€” even across currencies โ€” and Pouch converts automatically using up-to-date rates. A dashboard that actually tells you something Income vs. expense at a glance. Spending by category. Net savings trend. Top categories. Upcoming bills and subscriptions.

Pouch is a minimalist expense tracker that keeps your money data where it belongs โ€” 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 โ€” insights, calendars, group dashboards โ€” is computed live from what you've logged. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE โ€ข No account, no sign-up โ€” open the app and start โ€ข Works completely offline; the app makes no network requests โ€ข No ads, no analytics, no tracking โ€ข Export your full history anytime as CSV or JSON via the share sheet โ€ข Delete the app and the data is gone โ€” nothing lives in a cloud DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY โ€ข Fast add: keypad, date strip, and inline category, tag and group pickers โ€ข Today: your day at a glance with a running monthly pulse โ€ข Calendar: your spending mapped over the month โ€ข Groups: budgets with progress bars and per-group dashboards โ€ข Insights: honest, card-based analysis that appears only when your data supports it โ€ข Search your entire history by note, amount, category, or date โ€ข 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
