How it behaves
Two of these decide whether your numbers tell the truth. You can change them later.
- Part of Safe to Spend
- Its balance counts toward what you can spend this month.
- Active account
- New entries land here when nothing says which account they came from.
- ATM withdrawals become a transfer
- Cash out of this account moves to your Cash wallet instead of counting as spending.
- Alert me when it runs low
- A quiet nudge, never a red warning.
How Wallet groups them

- Saving
- Savings you keep out of what's safe to spend.
- Assets
- Gold and anything else you hold that changes value.
- Owed
- Credit cards, installment plans and loans: what you still have to pay.
Questions
Why does Pockito ask for the balance only once?
Pockito counts forward from here. Past messages you import won't move it.
Can each account have its own currency?
Yes, on every plan. A purchase in another currency is converted for your totals.
What does an account's detail screen show?
Its balance, a chart of the last 12 weeks, what moved in this period, and what the account does, like whether it counts toward safe to spend. Buttons let you adjust the balance, see the statement, transfer money, open its rules or pay a card.
