Other apps teach you how to budget — categories, goals, lessons on managing money. Making the plan was never the hard part. Following it was. We kept losing track of how much we'd spent, or how much was left, unless we actively remembered it. So we built the one thing we actually needed: a number that's always in view.— The Lakso team
LAKSO ENERGY
Guilt-free spending, one glance away.
No math. No spreadsheets. Just two numbers — Pocket and Food — that tell you exactly how much room you have left today, right from your Lock Screen or your Apple Watch.

WHY BUDGETING APPS DON'T STICK
Most apps want you to become a finance expert. Lakso just wants you to know what's safe to spend.
Long onboardings. Endless categories. Dashboards full of reports about money you already spent. And often, a request to link your bank account or BankID just to get started — a level of access plenty of people aren't ready to hand over for a budgeting app.
Most budgeting apps
- A long onboarding before you see anything useful
- Ask you to connect your bank account or BankID
- Bury you in reports about what you already spent
Lakso
- Set up your numbers in a few minutes — no finance degree required
- A CSV, a screenshot of your bank app, or Apple Pay sync — never your bank login
- One number: what you can safely spend, today
Lakso still helps you see where your money went and build a budget — that part isn't new. The difference is the focus: less auditing yesterday, more knowing today.
HOW LAKSO WORKS
Three steps to your daily number.
-
1
Set your rhythm
Choose weekly, biweekly, monthly, or a fully custom cycle that starts the day you're actually paid.
-
2
Split Needs, Wants & Savings
Cover rent, bills, and essentials first. Then use a slider to decide how much of what's left goes to guilt-free spending versus savings.
-
3
Watch your energy, not a spreadsheet
Lakso turns what's left into two energy levels — Pocket and Food — that update in real time. Underspend today, and tomorrow's numbers go up.
ENVELOPES
Big bills don't sneak up on you anymore.
Property tax. Insurance. That annual renewal you always forget. Lakso turns any bill you marked as quarterly or annual into its own envelope, and automatically sets aside the right amount every cycle — recalculated on the fly, so you're always exactly on track.
Tap into any envelope to see exactly where its money came from, cycle by cycle.

EFFORTLESS TRACKING
Log it your way — or don't log it at all.
Apple Pay Auto-Sync
No manual entry required. Exact amounts and merchant names sync from Apple Wallet the moment you tap to pay.
Import your statement
Upload a CSV, or just screenshot your bank app's transaction list. Lakso reads dates, merchants, and amounts right on your device — nothing is sent anywhere, and you never connect your bank account.
Split a receipt automatically
Snap a photo of a receipt and Lakso splits one purchase into its real categories — groceries vs. household items, for example.
Real categories, not just two buckets
Every expense — logged by hand, imported, or synced — gets tagged to the exact budget line it belongs to.
Widgets & Apple Watch
Your Pocket and Food energy levels, glanceable from the Lock Screen, Home Screen, or an Apple Watch complication. No taps required.
Siri Shortcuts
"Hey Siri, log expense in Lakso." Record a purchase hands-free, wherever you are.
