PocketPinch

“Know before you buy.”

Pocket Pinch is the first product out of Ntafo Studios: a purchase-affordability companion for iOS. Connect one bank account, and instead of another dashboard to maintain, you get a single honest number — 0 to 100 — the moment you’re standing in front of something you might buy.

How it worksThree steps

Three steps. One honest answer.

01

Ask

Type it, snap a photo, or drop in a link — however you noticed the thing you want.

02

We check

Real balance, upcoming bills, and spending patterns, pulled straight from the accounts you've linked.

03

Get your score

A 0–100 verdict with the reasoning behind it, in plain language. No spreadsheets, no black box.

The score

One number. A clear verdict.

Every purchase checked lands in one of four bands, color-coded, so you know at a glance whether to go for it or wait.
