✦ For Parents

Give your teen a real
financial foundation.

Pocket teaches teens how to manage money through practice — not lectures. You stay informed. They build the skills that actually stick.

Why it matters

Most teens enter adulthood
with no money skills.

Not because they don't care — because they were never given the tools or the chance to practice. Pocket changes that while they're still at home and you can still guide them.

01
They learn by doing
Tracking real spending, setting real budgets, and watching real savings grow teaches more than any conversation about money ever could.
02
Responsibility becomes visible
You can see exactly how they're managing their money. Good habits show up in the data — and so do the ones that need work.
03
You stay involved without hovering
Pocket gives you visibility without control. Your teen manages their own account — you can see the picture without making every decision.
A different account type

You don't get a budget app.
You get a dashboard.

Parent accounts are completely different from teen accounts. You don't track your own spending — you see a read-only view of how your teen is managing theirs. One dashboard, as many teens as you need.

Your teen sees something completely different — learn about the teen account.

📊
Spending overview
See a breakdown of where their money is going — categories, amounts, and trends over time.
✅
Budget progress
See how they're tracking against their self-set limits. Are they staying on budget? You'll know.
💰
Savings growth
Watch their savings accumulate month over month. A real, live record of follow-through.
📊
Monthly reports
At the end of each month, see a full breakdown of what they spent, their top spending category, and how much they saved.
🏅
Send rewards & recognition
Grant custom titles, unlock goals, send bonuses — your teen sees these as popup notifications and in their Achievements tab.
👥
Manage multiple teens
Link as many teen accounts as you need. Each teen's budget is separate — you see them all from one dashboard.
Recognition

Reinforce the behavior
that matters.

The best reward for a teen isn't a sticker — it's knowing their effort was noticed. Pocket gives you ways to make that real.

🏅
Custom titles
Grant a title you write yourself — "Savings Champion", "Financially Responsible", or whatever fits. It shows on their profile.
🎯
Goal unlocks
Set a savings goal together and agree on what completing it unlocks — more freedom, a purchase, whatever you negotiate.
👍
React to purchases
See what they bought and react in one tap — thumbs up, a heart, or any emoji. Quick, casual feedback on real spending.
💸
Bonus allowance
Optional: send a one-time bonus directly into their Pocket balance. Tangible, immediate, and tied to something real.
Getting started

Two ways to begin

You can set it up together or simply share the link — it works either way.

A
Set it up together
Sit down with your teen, create their account, and set up their allowance and spending categories as a team. A good first conversation about money.
B
Share the link and let them start
Send them to Pocket and let them set it up on their own. They can invite you to view their budget whenever they're ready.
C
Connect your account
Once your teen has their account set up, they can send you an invite. You create a guardian account to see their progress and send recognition.
