Your budget at a glance

Right there on the home screen: what’s left this week, this month, and where it all went.

Frequently asked questions

🎁

Is Kakebo really free?

Yes. Expense tracking, automatic budgets, savings and stats are free, unlimited and ad-free, forever. Only the AI features — voice dictation and the Céleste assistant — need the €2.99/month plan, with no commitment.

🎙️

How does voice expense tracking work?

Say “23 euros of groceries at Carrefour yesterday” and the AI pulls out the amount, category, date and label. You check the card it proposes, confirm, and it’s in your history. About a second, start to finish.

🇯🇵

What is the kakeibo method?

It’s the Japanese budgeting method: write down every expense, set a savings goal, review every week. Kakebo keeps the philosophy and automates the boring parts.

🔒

Where is my data stored?

On your phone first — the app works offline. The AI runs on servers hosted in Europe, your data is never sold, and you can delete your account in one tap from the app.

👫

Can I share a budget with my partner?

Yes. Use the same account on both phones and the budget becomes shared, synced in real time across every device.
