About PocketGuard

PocketGuard is a personal finance app that’s all about keeping your spending in check before you blow your paycheck on artisanal coffee. Launched in 2015, it syncs with your bank accounts to automatically track income, bills, and expenses, then tells you how much 'spendable' cash you’ve got left after the essentials. You can set category budgets, track recurring payments, and even export transactions to CSV for those who love a good spreadsheet. The Plus subscription unlocks unlimited accounts and premium features like receipt tracking, but it’s not cheap. Think of it as a financial babysitter that slaps your wrist when you overspend—helpful, but it won’t solve your deeper money woes.
