Read-only. Klir can see your money, it can never move it.

Find out what that charge actually was

Your bank gives you a code. Klir gives you a sentence. Every account on one screen, every charge explained in plain English.

Free. No card. We email you the day it opens.

A charge from Uber for $6.33 with an Explain button, and Klir's plain-English answer underneath: what POOL means, what left the account, and what that merchant has cost this month.
A real screen from Klir. Tap the charge, read the answer. Sample account data, not anyone's real account.

What Klir does

Three things, done properly

No net worth projections, no lectures, no budgeting course. Klir does a small number of things and does them clearly.

  • A charge from Uber for $6.33 with an Explain button, and the plain-English answer underneath it.

    Explains any charge

    Klir reads the raw line your bank sent, not the tidied-up name, and tells you what the odd part means and what that merchant has cost you this month.

  • A dark green card reading Cash, $320.00, with a gold chip showing the month's net flow and a small line chart.

    One number for your cash

    Checking plus savings across every bank you connect, with credit cards shown separately and never quietly added in.

  • Budget tiles for several spending categories, each with an amount, a limit and a progress bar.

    Where the month went

    Spending by category against a limit you set, with a progress bar, so you can see whether you are ahead of the month or behind it.

Klir can only read. It can never move, send, or spend your money. Not even by accident.

There is no transfer screen in Klir, no payment button, and nothing in the connection that would allow one. Reading is all it is permitted to do.

How the connection works

Your bank password never touches Klir

Bank connections are handled by Plaid, the same service Venmo and Robinhood use. You sign in on a screen Klir does not run and cannot see. Klir receives read-only access to your accounts and your charges, and no permission that could move money. The Privacy Policy lists field by field what it does receive.

  1. You tap Connect a bank

    Klir hands you to Plaid and stops there.

  2. You sign in to your bank

    On a screen Klir does not run, so your password never reaches us.

  3. Klir receives permission to read

    Balances and charges. Nothing that could move a cent.

Klir's accounts screen, grouped into In Cash, Also held and Owed, each account showing its balance.

Before you connect anything

The three questions people ask

Each of these is answered in full somewhere else on this site rather than summarised here, so you can read the actual wording instead of our description of it.

  • What we collect

    Your email, your balances and transactions, and the settings you choose. The policy lists it field by field instead of summarising it.

    Read the privacy policy
  • What we never do

    We do not sell your data. You will not see ads or loan offers here, and read-only rules out the business models that would need them.

    How Klir makes money
  • How you leave

    Export every charge Klir holds as a spreadsheet, or delete your account and everything in it, from inside the app. No email, no waiting.

    How deleting works
