Get The People's Pocket app

The People's Pocket works like an app on your phone. Add it to your home screen once, and the free check, payment dates and reminders are one tap away.

Put The People's Pocket on your home screen.

On Android, in Chrome: tap the ⋮ menu, then Install app or Add to Home screen.

On iPhone, in Safari: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.

What you get

Private, like the website

No account and no adverts. Nothing you type into a check or calculator is sent to us. If you turn on reminders, your phone gives us an anonymous address to send them to, and nothing else.

Coming to Google Play

We are also bringing the app to the Google Play Store. If you install it from this page now, you already have everything it will do.

Common questions

Is the app free?

Yes. Every guide, check and calculator is free, with no adverts and no sign-up.

Does it take up much space?

Very little. It is the website saved to your home screen, not a large download.

Does it collect my information?

No. Nothing you type into a check or calculator is sent to us. Reminders, if you turn them on, use an anonymous address from your phone.

How do I remove it?

Press and hold the icon on your home screen, then choose Remove or Uninstall, like any other app.
