Introducing Pocketr

Pocketr is an open source budgeting app built around a simple goal: make budgeting feel more practical, transparent, and useful in everyday life.

I want Pocketr to make an impact on how budgeting is understood and used. A budget should not be only a spreadsheet people open when something goes wrong. It should be a clear, trustworthy picture of income, expenses, accounts, and shared financial decisions.

This is also a real product for me personally. I use Pocketr with my wife to manage our own household budget, which keeps the project grounded in real needs instead of abstract feature lists.

Long term, the plan is to keep improving Pocketr with useful features, better documentation, and stronger stability around the functionality that already exists. It is a serious side project that I work on in my free time, with the intent to build something dependable, fully open source, and free for people who want to run and improve it themselves.

If Pocketr sounds useful to you, try it, follow the project, and consider contributing feedback or improvements.
