About this app

FIND THE SUBSCRIPTIONS YOU FORGOT YOU WERE PAYING FOR — WITHOUT A BANK LOGIN

Most budgeting apps ask you to connect your bank first. Pothos does not. There is no bank login, no Plaid, and no way for the app to accept your credentials.

Import a bank statement or scan a few receipts and Pothos finds the charges that quietly renew — the trial that converted, the annual that went up, the two apps doing the same job. The scan runs entirely on your device, before you even create an account.

- Subscription scan — finds recurring charges, on-device
- No bank linking, no Plaid, no credentials
- AI coach grounded in your own numbers
- Weekly AI recap every Sunday

BUDGET with better clarity and focus on your long-term financial goals by budgeting with the 50-30-20 rule.
LEARN with valuable tips, educational resources, and interactive tools that will enhance your financial knowledge.

Pothos is the budget app built around the 50-30-20 rule: 50% Needs, 30% Wants, 20% Savings — allocate your income to three categories and watch your money balance itself.

INTUITIVE BUDGETING & SPENDING TRACKER APP
With Pothos, you begin with a powerful advantage: your hard-earned income. Instead of building up expenses from $0 like traditional budget tracking apps, you allocate your income to three essential categories: Needs, Wants, and Savings.

Our expense tracker is built to help you follow this simple budgeting rule and reach your financial goals — simply, and mindfully.

HOW DOES THE 50-30-20 BUDGETING RULE WORK?
- It helps you divide your income into categories that make saving easy.
- The rule states that 50% of your money goes toward needs, 30% toward wants, and 20% toward savings.
- The savings category can also include money for future goals, like paying down a loan.

HOW CAN YOU FOLLOW THE 50-30-20 RULE WITH POTHOS
- Tell us your budget by entering your salary or earnings and your pay schedule (daily, weekly, monthly, etc).
- Every expense or income you log deducts from the right category and shows your remaining budget.
- See your remaining budget and every transaction on clear, visual charts and graphs — or set a fully custom rule instead of 50-30-20.
