Stop typing every expense: log from your bank SMS instead

The reason people quit budgeting apps is manual entry. Paste a bank SMS or scan a slip and let on-device AI draft the transaction — you just confirm.

The real reason budgeting doesn't stick

It's rarely the plan that fails — it's the data entry. Typing every coffee, taxi, and 7-Eleven run by hand is boring, and the day you skip it is the day the numbers stop being true. Any tracker that depends on perfect manual logging is quietly designed to be abandoned.

02

Paste the SMS, scan the slip, or just ask

Your bank already texts you every time money moves. In Pocketbird you paste that SMS and on-device AI turns it into a drafted transaction — amount, date, and a guessed category — for you to confirm with a tap. Got a PromptPay or Paotang slip instead? Scan the image or drop in a PDF and it reads the same way.

It works with major Thai banks — KBank, SCB, Bangkok Bank, Krungthai, Krungsri, ttb, GSB and more. And because the reading happens on your phone, the message content is never sent anywhere.

03

You confirm — the AI never posts silently

Automation you can't see is how budgets drift. Pocketbird always drafts and waits for your tap, so the ledger stays yours and stays correct. Fast enough to keep up, honest enough to trust — that's the combination that makes tracking actually last.
