Hi - had an idea that would be extremely helpful for me & thought I’d share.
Very simple idea - a textbox for entering a few lines of notes (calcuations, things to remember, reasons for why there’s a certain target, whatever). The textbox/textarea would exist in the ‘Manage’ screen of the pot. See visual concept below:
I know I would use this for small, quick notes I’d want ‘in app’ instead of having to keep them elsewhere. I’d like to think a textarea like this with some input validation and data not used anywhere else in the app wouldn’t be too much of a technical undertaking, but I’m no software engineer.
A bonus point would be having an option somehwere to enable notes on pots, so that people who don’t want/need notes on pots aren’t presented with this text area. Or perhaps more specifically, when editing the pot itself there could be an option to enable notes for the pot. This allows specific enable/disable of notes on a pot.
Thanks for reading,

Hi thinking about Getting Monzo plus. Quick question on extra features: with Monzo Plus could I attach notes to pots?
You do facilitate notes on transactions in ‘main’ account. this is a great feature, but would also love to be able to make notes on the pots and transactions in the pot.
If you have that feature I’ll sign up immediately🤩

I tend to write down my budget for each pot in my notes app, screenshot it and then set it as the photo on my pot. I was wondering on what people thought about adding either a notes section in the pots or a notes feature on the photo.
What do you all think of the ability to give a longer description to a pot. Instead of a pot called “holiday” with a goal of £1500. I want to be able to provide a description of the individual things I’m saving for. Say, “plane” £400, “hotel” £500, “spending money” £600.
I would suggest a second larger (description) text box, could provide this functionality.
Maybe a simple suggestion
Able to add notes or descriptions to your pots. Might just be me but I enjoy writing the exact details of something that might be longe then just the title of the pot.
It would be good to have a notes section in pots. I like to save for multiple items on 1 pot and could enter notes about each one. So for example one pot is for bulk buy items I save an amount each month that covers the expense. Having 6 pots for each bulk buy is too much I have them in one pot and then show split in notes.
It would be really great it we could add notes/ description/ info to each spending pot over and above the title.
Thanks
I use pots and virtual cards (linked to each pot) to help with budgeting each week. What I think would be really useful is if there was a notes section on each pot where I could write on what I have planned to spend that week’s budget.
Would anyone else find it useful to have a feature that allows budgets to be written and stored somewhere in the app?
For example, my husband and I have many regular monthly outgoings that are not standing orders or direct debits and so are not included in committed spending, such as his rail fare or my osteopathic treatment, or nursery fees etc. It would be useful to create a sort of manual committed spending pot for these types of outgoings, but they are so numerous that sometimes we lose tra…
Hi
Would it be possible to put a notes field within a pot. I would find it handy to make some notes apart from the title as I now have lots of pots for little things.
Thanks,

It would be great if you could add notes to your pots. So, for example, right now I have a pot for an upcoming party. It would be great if I could add a list of all the things I need to spend that money on, so that even though it’s all in one place I can still mentally separate the costs.

Bottom one has a clever little workaround you might find useful
