A Mint Alternative That Doesn't Need Your Bank Login
Mint and similar apps require you to link your bank account permanently — giving them ongoing read access to your transactions. If you're uncomfortable with that, there's a better way: upload your bank statement as a file instead.
Leaky Wallet does everything Mint does for spending analysis — subscriptions, categories, trends, savings recommendations — without requiring your bank credentials or ongoing account access. Upload once, get your insights, your data is deleted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Leaky Wallet a good Mint replacement?
For spending analysis, subscription detection, and savings recommendations, yes. Leaky Wallet provides the same core analysis without requiring bank account linking. The main difference: you upload your statement manually each time rather than having automatic sync.
Why would I use an alternative to Mint?
Privacy concerns about permanent bank account access, Mint's shutdown or service changes, banks not supported by Mint, or simply preferring not to share bank credentials with third-party apps.
How is Leaky Wallet different from Mint?
Mint requires linking your bank account for ongoing transaction access. Leaky Wallet works from a one-time file upload — you export your statement and upload it. No bank credentials shared, no ongoing account access, no data retained after analysis.
Does Leaky Wallet sync with my bank automatically?
No — and that's by design. Instead of automatic sync, you upload your statement when you want an analysis. This means your bank account is never accessed directly and your data is not held long-term.
