## What is Kakei?

Kakei reimagines budget management with the wisdom of Kakeibo, a century-old Japanese method created in 1904.


THE PRINCIPLE IS SIMPLE
Mindfully writing down each expense changes your relationship with money. No automatic bank sync, no algorithms deciding for you. Just you and your budget.


HOW IT WORKS
1. Set up your situation
Enter your income, fixed expenses, and savings goal. Kakei calculates your "spending budget" — the money available for daily expenses.
2. Track your spending
Log each purchase in 10 seconds. The act of writing creates awareness. This is the heart of the Kakeibo method.
3. Understand and improve
At month's end, see where your money went. Identify habits to change. Improve every month.


THE 4 KAKEIBO QUESTIONS
- How much money do I have available?
- How much would I like to save?
- How much am I spending?
- How can I improve?

WHY KAKEI?
Budget apps connect your bank accounts and flood you with charts. Kakei does the opposite: it asks you to write things down yourself. This small effort creates an awareness that changes everything.
