Find the subscriptions you forgot — without handing over your bank login
Pothos surfaces the recurring charges that quietly renew, on your device, without ever asking for a bank login. Underneath it is still 50/30/20 budgeting, with an AI coach grounded in your own numbers.
Most budgeting apps make you connect your bank before you can do anything. Pothos never asks. Import a statement or scan a few receipts and it finds the recurring charges quietly renewing in the background — all on your device, before you even make an account.
Every other app that finds your subscriptions asks for your bank login first. Pothos has no way to accept one — and never will. Underneath, it is still the 50/30/20 system: split your income across needs, wants and savings, with an AI coach and Insights layered on top.

What Pothos does
Find the subscriptions you forgot you were paying for
Import a bank statement or scan a few receipts and Pothos surfaces the charges that keep coming back — the trial that converted, the annual that went up, the two apps doing the same job. It runs entirely on your device, before you even create an account.
Budget around needs, wants, and savings
Allocate income with the 50/30/20 rule or customize the split so each dollar already has a job.
Ask an AI coach grounded in your own ledger
Ask "Can I afford this?" or "Where am I leaking money?" and get an answer built from your actual sessions — not a generic tip.
Set the budget. Record expenses. Learn from the pattern.
Pothos is built around a simple finance rhythm: define the split, log what happened, and use progress visuals to stay aligned with your goals.
- Allocate income to needs, wants, and savings before spending starts.
- Record each expense against the right category while it is still fresh.
- Use charts and progress visuals to catch drift early.
- Treat budgeting as an ongoing feedback loop, not a month-end cleanup.
How people use it
Private by construction
There is no bank-linking feature in Pothos and no way for it to accept your credentials. The AI reads your numbers, never your name — identity is stripped before anything leaves your device.
Learn as you go
The product encourages better financial literacy through repeated, understandable patterns.
Stay balanced
A calmer interface helps you keep going week after week instead of dropping the habit.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I download Pothos?
Pothos is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Use the store buttons on the Pothos homepage for the latest listing.
Is Pothos for strict budgeting only?
No. Pothos is built for people who want better spending awareness, 50/30/20 guidance, and a calmer ongoing routine rather than a rigid spreadsheet mindset.
What is the best way to start?
Keep your setup small. Start with a few meaningful categories and focus on consistent logging before trying to perfect the whole system.
How often should I update my budget?
Small, regular check-ins tend to work best. Capturing expenses near the time they happen helps your totals stay trustworthy.
What makes Pothos different from more complex finance apps?
Pothos is intentionally more visual and focused. It combines 50/30/20 budgeting, remaining-balance thinking, and chart-based feedback so the process stays maintainable.
Does Pothos replace financial advice?
No. Pothos is a budgeting and expense-tracking tool, not a substitute for professional legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice.
