Pocketlens

Spend with purpose. Track every online purchase and enforce your monthly spending limit in real time.

Most people underestimate how much they spend online. Pocketlens shows you, automatically, and gives you a real chance to stop before a purchase becomes a regret. No bank connection. No account. Nothing to set up beyond a spending limit you choose yourself. WHAT IT DOES Detects purchases automatically The moment your order confirms on a supported retailer, Pocketlens logs it, updates your remaining monthly budget, and asks how you feel about it — good, necessary, or regret. No manual entry, no bank connection, no typing. Reminds you before you check out Add any website to your blocklist. The next time you visit it, Pocketlens shows a clear, deliberate reminder asking if you really need to shop right now — not a notification you can swipe away without reading, but something you have to actually respond to. Gives you a 30-second pause Sit on a checkout page for half a minute and Pocketlens asks one simple question: still sure? A short pause is often enough to break an impulse purchase. That pause is now built into your browser. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Every other spending tool shows you the damage after it's already done — a monthly summary, a bank statement, a chart of where your money went last week. Pocketlens is built to catch the moment before, not the moment after. We also noticed something while building this: several major retailers don't show you your order total anywhere on the confirmation page after you buy something. The full, tax-included number often only appears if you separately dig into your order history later. Pocketlens surfaces that number for you, right when it happens. CURRENTLY SUPPORTED Amazon, Target, and Walmart are fully supported today, with more retailers being added over time. Pocketlens also includes a general detection system that can recognize order confirmations on many other retailer sites, even ones not explicitly built in yet. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything Pocketlens tracks is stored locally on your own device using Chrome's built-in storage. We don't collect it, see it, or sell it. There are no servers involved in Phase 1. Full privacy policy available at getpocketlens.com/privacy. WHO IT'S FOR If you've ever looked at your bank statement and thought "where did that all go," Pocketlens is built for you. It's not a budgeting app that demands spreadsheets and categories. It's a quiet, automatic guardrail that works in the background and speaks up only when it matters. Free to use. No account required. Installs in seconds. Spend with purpose.
