PocketPal is the simplest way to track where your money actually goes. Snap a receipt. PocketPal reads it. Drop it in an envelope. That's the whole flow. WHY POCKETPAL • Scan instead of typing. Point your camera at a receipt — PocketPal pulls out the merchant, amount, and date automatically. No more 10pm spreadsheets. • Envelopes, not categories. Give every dollar a job. "Groceries," "Eating out," "Saving for that trip." Watch each envelope drain as you spend. • See the truth, not a guess. Real receipts in, real numbers out. No syncing with your bank, no surprise statements, no nasty end-of-month math. • Built for the way you actually shop. Cash, card, split bills, weird receipts in three languages — PocketPal handles them. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT We don't sell your data. We don't connect to your bank.

Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 8 screenshots above are PocketPal Budget's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: PocketPal Budget runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #1C1414) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #EC744C, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
