What are the ways to add an expense or income?

There are six ways in: say it, scan it, type it, let auto-track bring it in, tell the chat, or import a file. Whichever you use, Pockito works out whether money went out, came in or only moved between your own accounts, and asks which account when it can't tell. Typing an entry is always free. Voice, scans, automatic tracking and the chat come with a few uses each period on Free, and without limits on Pro.

Where to find it Home

Voice
Tap and speak in plain language. Pockito turns **“$15 on coffee yesterday”** into a saved entry with the amount, category, and date filled in for you. Best for on-the-go logging without typing.
Scan receipt
Photos, the camera, files, or a bank text you copied. Every line of a receipt becomes an item.
Add manually
Type it yourself for full control over **amount, category, account, currency, notes, and tags**. Best for known amounts or when you want every detail just so.
Auto-track
Bank texts, Apple Pay taps and payment alerts arrive on their own once you set it up.
Chat
Tell Pockito what happened, like “Add 50 for transport”, and it adds the entry.
Import
Bring in a bank statement or another app's export, with Pro.

What happens next is the same every time

  1. Pockito reads the amount, the place and the date, and picks a category.
  2. It works out the direction: spent, earned, or moved between two of your accounts.
  3. It needs to know the account. If nothing says which, it asks instead of guessing, and the entry waits in Needs a look.
  4. It saves, and every screen that shows money updates at once: Home, Wallet, Insights and your limits.

Questions

What counts as a move?

Money that goes from one of your accounts to another, like topping up a mobile wallet from your bank. Both balances change, but your spending and your categories don't.

Can I add something from another app?

Yes. Share a photo or a PDF to Pockito from another app and Scan reads it.
