A mindful spending tracker designed for efficiency and minimalism. Start each month at $0, watch your money grow over time, and when you’re in the red, we’ll show you how long it takes to get back on track. Solo or with friends/partners, Android & iOS.
👋 Hey, Product Hunt! Baptiste here, co-founder of Paktol.
I made this spending tracker app because:
1/ I kept overspending every month
2/ I realized that when it comes to spending money, instincts beats willpower.
Why instincts?
Because Paktol tells you if NOW is the right time for your purchase. Either:
1/ You've enough money.
2/ You've got not quite enough money and either your reconsider your purchase (scale down, delay, consider 2nd-hand...) or you spend knowing that you'll enter "recovery mode" where you have to wait to be afloat anew.
3/ Or you are already in recovery period and you are extra careful about what you buy.
This app makes spending control natural because it leverages the cheap short-term decisions circuits instead of relying an exhausting constant monitoring of our analytical brain.
It has helped me and my friends save hundreds of dollars. I hope you give it a try.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

@harry_sin1 Thanks a lot Harry. We worked hard to only keep the essential :-). When building a product everyone has a natural tendency to add features and doing so forget what's truly important.
@elijah__william entering spendings (and seeing money fly away or recovery time increase) is part of the experience by design: to make money tangible again in a cashless world.
