Guide 2 · Money you hold for people

Holding money for people? Give each one a pocket.

Say one bank account holds money for twenty people, and a spreadsheet tracks whose share is whose. Repocket can carry that tally for you.

Your ledger stays yours. Nobody else uses it, and each person’s share is simply one of your own pockets.

One cover, start to square.

Six panels, one line in Repocket, and everyone ends up square.

  1. Pockets
    Repocket's Log sheet on Cover with the Paid from picker open over the people's pockets: Ama, Leo, Maya, My money, Nia and Sam.

    Nia, everyone else, and My money.

    Nia gets a pocket, and so does everyone else on your list. Add one called My money for your own share.

  2. Cover
    A coral card fans out over a marigold card above a card reader

    Nia needs it fast. My money steps in.

    Her share is sitting in the bank, but she needs it fast. So you send it from your own money. Quick and kind.

  3. Log
    Repocket's Log sheet on Cover: $250.00, Paid from My money, Covering for Nia, dated Mon, Sep 7, with the number pad open.

    Paid from My money, covering for Nia.

    Log it in one line and Repocket remembers. No spreadsheet cell to hunt for.

  4. To settle
    Repocket's To settle screen: $375.00, 3 to settle. Three cards read My money covered Ama, $85.00 since Sun 30 Aug; My money covered Nia, $250.00 since Mon 7 Sep; and My money covered Sam, $40.00 since Tue 1 Sep.

    My money covered Nia.

    To settle shows My money covered Nia, $250.00, until you move her share across.

  5. Settle
    A receipt stamped Settled between two cards

    Nia’s share moves across. Tap Mark settled.

    When you are ready, move Nia’s share over to your own money in the bank, then tap Mark settled.

  6. Square
    Repocket's To settle screen, empty: Everything is square.

    Everything is square.

    Nia has her money, yours is back home, and the spreadsheet gets the day off.
