Calm finance — no bank connection

Cirola Pocket

Cirola Pocket never connects to your bank. You add your spending yourself — a receipt photo, a quick entry — and that small act keeps you aware of every purchase. Schedule your salary and bills, tag everything, and always know how much money you have left.*

* Price comparisons are crowd-sourced from receipts other people add. Coverage in your area grows as more people nearby use the app.

On iPhone, Android, and the web — available in Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Brazil. See how it works ↓

A bank account is easy to forget: you tap, you buy, and the number changes on its own. In Cirola Pocket you add every purchase yourself — a few seconds with a receipt — and that is what gives you back a sense of agency over your money.

Totals tell you that. Tags and items tell you why.

What it does

A calm way to see your money

Every entry carries a category, tags and — when it came from a receipt — the items behind it. Cirola Pocket turns all of that into gentle, useful insight.

🔒

No bank connection

Pocket never asks for your bank login and never connects to your cards. There are no banking credentials here to leak, and no feed of transactions you don't remember — only what you chose to add.

🧾

Learn by doing

Snapping a receipt takes a few seconds — just enough to notice what you spent. That small pause is the point: you spend with more care when every purchase passes through your own hands.

🗓️

Salary and bills, on a schedule

Add your salary, other income, rent, subscriptions and fixed bills as scheduled entries. They post themselves on the day they're due, so your month is already laid out when you open the app.

📊

Calm analytics

Spending over time, where your money went, top stores, when you spend, and this month's pace — each with a gentle comparison against the period before. Tap any row to see the entries behind it.

🏷️

Tags, your way

Label entries and products with anything — road trip, kids, side business — then build reports by tag, category, store or product. With cash in set against spending, you always know how much money you have left.

🗂️

Categories that fill themselves in

Every entry gets a budget category and every product a fine-grained one, automatically. Fix a miss once and Pocket remembers your pick.

✨

Add spending any way you like

Snap a receipt, forward an order email to your own Cirola inbox, or type a quick entry with its category and tags. The scan runs OCR on the photo, so the store, date, total and every line item fill themselves in. Works offline; everything syncs when you're back.

👨‍👩‍👧

Shared household accounts

Budget with your partner, your family, or your roommates. Everyone adds, everyone sees the totals, everyone stays on the same page — without sharing a single credit card.

🔍

Price tracking, item by item

Search products and compare real prices from nearby stores — free. Follow the items you buy, see a price history you can act on, and get a nudge when someone nearby paid less for the same thing.

💻

Your dashboard, on the web

Everything syncs to cirola.com/app — the same insights, filters and tags, entries you can browse and edit, and your account, from any browser.

📤

Export to QuickBooks & more

Your numbers are ready for your accountant: export any date range to QuickBooks, Excel, CSV, OFX, or QIF in one click from the web dashboard.

How it works

Three steps, every time

1

Add

A receipt photo, a forwarded email, or a quick manual entry — with a category and tags right there as you add it.

2

Understand

Pocket reads receipts into items, fills in categories, and remembers your tags for next time. Anything it wasn't sure about is flagged for a one-tap check.

3

Explore

Open Insights: see where your money went, filter by tags, stores or products, and tap through to the entries behind every number.

We don't sell your data. And our AI partners can't train on it.

Your receipts are parsed by Google's paid Gemini API (Vertex AI), not the free tier. Under Google's commercial data-governance terms, the content we send is not used to train their models and is not retained beyond processing. We don't track you across apps, we don't sell personal data, and we explain every piece of PII that might end up in a receipt — in plain English.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers

Do I have to connect my bank account?+
No — and you can't. Cirola Pocket has no bank connection at all: it never asks for banking credentials and never reads your transactions. You add spending yourself, from a receipt photo, a forwarded email or a quick entry. It's safer, and it keeps you aware of what you spend.
How much does it cost?+
The free plan is genuinely useful and free forever — manual and camera entries, five AI receipt reads a month, product search and price comparison, price alerts, analytics with tags and product insights, scheduled entries, shopping lists and shared accounts. Pro is $3.99 USD/month or $34.99 USD/year (shown in your local currency at checkout): it removes the monthly limit so every receipt is read automatically, and adds the email inbox, cloud images kept indefinitely, and no ads. It's billed through the App Store or Google Play, and you can cancel anytime from your device settings.
Do you sell my data?+
No. We don't sell personal data, we don't track you across apps, and we never show personalized ads. The free tier shows one small non-personalized banner ad that covers its costs — Pro removes it.
Who sees my receipts?+
Receipts are parsed by Google's paid Gemini API (Vertex AI). Under Google's commercial data-governance terms, the content is not used to train their models and is not retained beyond processing. Our privacy policy names every provider and explains — in plain English — what a receipt can contain.
What if the AI misreads something?+
It happens, and we'd rather admit it than silently guess. Anything the AI wasn't confident about — a total, a category, a product — is flagged in the app so you can verify or fix it in one tap.
How do email receipts work?+
You get your own Cirola inbox — [email protected]. Forward an order-confirmation email to it (or set up an automatic filter) and it's parsed into a structured receipt. The original email stays in your inbox as your proof of purchase.
Where is my data stored?+
Your data is stored in Canada, with backups replicated to the United States for disaster recovery. AI processing runs in the United States. Full details are in the privacy policy.
Is there an Android version?+
Yes — Cirola Pocket is on Google Play today. And whichever phone you use, everything you add syncs to your web dashboard at cirola.com/app.
Can I export my data to QuickBooks or Excel?+
Yes. From the web dashboard at cirola.com/app you can export any date range as a QuickBooks-ready CSV, Excel, plain CSV (entries or items), OFX, or QIF. Your data is always yours to take anywhere.

Cirola Pocket is here.

Free on the App Store and Google Play. Add an entry on your phone and it's on your web dashboard moments later.
