About KaBuddy: Budget & Kakeibo
KaBuddy - Your personal Kakeibo ledger Take control of your money with intention. KaBuddy is a modern personal finance app inspired by the Japanese Kakeibo (家計簿) method, developed by journalist Motoko Hani over 100 years ago. Instead of just tracking numbers, KaBuddy helps you build awareness, reflect on your habits, and develop a sustainable approach to saving. ---- A simple method with powerful impact Each month, ask yourself: 1. How much income do I have? 2. How much do I want to save? 3. How much am I spending? 4. How can I improve? KaBuddy guides you through this process-turning everyday spending into meaningful insight. ---- Understand where your money goes All expenses are categorized into four intuitive groups: 1. Needs - essentials like rent, groceries, bills 2. Wants - non-essential purchases and treats 3. Culture - books, learning, experiences 4. Unexpected - irregular or surprise expenses This structure helps you reflect - not just track. ---- How it works 1. Enter your monthly income 2. Add your fixed expenses (Needs) 3. See your available budget instantly 4. Set your savings goal 5. Log your daily spending 6. Review your month and improve step by step ---- Features designed for clarity - Monthly overview of income, expenses, and savings - Journal view with search and organization tools - Charts to visualize your financial habits - PDF export of your monthly ledger - Quick entry & duplication for fast tracking - Custom tags with colors and icons (Premium) - Filters & grouping (Premium) - Light, dark, and system themes ---- Private by design No accounts. No tracking. No ads. Your data stays on your device. ---- One purchase. Full access. No subscriptions. Buy once and use KaBuddy forever.
