Moving from Monarch Money? Bring your history with you

Step 2 · In Pockito

Open it in Pockito

  1. 1 Tap Import and pick a file.
  2. 2 Pockito detects the format. Nothing leaves your phone at this step.
  3. 3 Review: check how each account and category maps, create new ones if you need, and exclude any rows you don't want. Rows that look like something you already have are skipped by default.
  4. 4 Tap the import button. Pockito saves the rows and tells you if any were missing a date or an amount.
