Sign in and set your preferences

  1. Open Kakeibo and enter your email address. Use the one-time code sent to that address to sign in.
  2. Choose your home currency, time zone and preferred language during setup.
  3. Add an account such as cash, a bank account or a credit card. An account is where a transaction belongs.

Make your first record

Add an expense or income transaction and choose the account and category. Your dashboard will then show the recorded account balance and recent activity. You can adjust profile preferences later.

Kakeibo is a personal and household record, not a bank feed. It does not automatically import your bank statement or move money.
