A couple sitting back to back on a couch, each on their phone, surrounded by bills.

Love is real.
So is accountability.

A shared savings pot for couples. You agree up front what happens to the money if it ends, and a neutral arbiter settles it if you ever disagree.

Your bank, your partner's bank, an identity check and e-signature feed into Knotpot. Knotpot keeps the pot at a partner bank, tracks your shared goals, offers a neutral arbiter, and keeps the safety exit open.

Shared money is easy to start and hard to untangle.

Couples share rent, trips and a joint card long before anyone writes anything down. When it ends, the money becomes the fight.

  • Shared money gets tangled

    After a year of shared rent, trips and a joint card, it's hard to say who paid for what.

  • Promises cost nothing

    Everyone means it on day one. Nothing holds either of you to it.

  • Breakups become money fights

    The worst week of your life turns into months of arguing about receipts.

A couple on their sofa with a laptop, surrounded by the questions they want answered: who holds the money, can we change our rule, can I leave anytime.

One pot, two people, every dollar on the record.

Everything you see in the app, your partner sees too, so neither of you is left guessing.

Every dollar on the record

Each contribution, its date and who made it. Each of you has a standing, and interest is split by it, so there is nothing to piece together later.

Rules you both signed

Your breakup rule in plain English, with both signatures. Changes need both of you, and wait 30 days.

How Knotpot works, in four steps.

One of you sets up the pot and invites the other. Nothing is final until you've both read it and signed.

A couple at a table, one pointing at something on the other's phone.
  1. Step 01

    Verify

    Each of you confirms who you are.

    • Create your account (18+)
    • Pick your state
    • Quick identity check
  2. Step 02

    Set the rules

    Decide together, with your real numbers in front of you.

    • Choose a breakup rule
    • Choose your arbiter
    • Choose your milestone
    • Both of you sign
  3. Step 03

    Fund

    Link your banks and set a plan you can keep.

    • Weekly, every 2 weeks or monthly
    • Add extra any time
    • Interest earned at our partner bank
    • Spend on a goal when you both approve
  4. Step 04

    Last or settle

    Either way, the outcome is already agreed.

    • Milestone reached: money released
    • Ending: your rule decides
    • Safety exit: always there

You pick what a breakup looks like.

Choose one rule when you start, and see what it means with your own numbers before you sign. Below, Jordan has $3,000 in the pot and Sam has $2,000.

All options, and try it
  • A

    Everyone gets theirs back

    Each of you leaves with what you put in, plus your share of interest. No one forfeits anything.

    Jordan gets $3,000. Sam gets $2,000.

    Default

  • B

    Leaver pays

    Whoever ends it forfeits a share of their standing to the other partner.

    At 25%, if Jordan leaves: Jordan gets $2,250, Sam gets $2,750.

    Subject to legal review

  • C

    At-fault forfeits

    If the arbiter finds one of you at fault under definitions you chose, that partner forfeits a share to the other.

    At 25%, if Sam is found at fault: Jordan gets $3,500, Sam gets $1,500.

    Subject to legal review

  • D

    Forfeit to charity

    The leaver's or at-fault partner's share goes to a charity you picked together, not to the other partner.

    At 25%, if Jordan leaves: Jordan gets $2,250, Sam gets $2,000, $750 goes to charity.

    Available

Availability varies by state. Whatever you pick, either of you can always leave safely.

A neutral arbiter settles it.

Only under rules that allow a fault claim. The arbiter decides one narrow question: was a fault definition you both chose met? Nothing about who was the better partner.
