Two people, one set of numbers. No bank login, ever.
Kesto gives a couple one shared budget that lives on both phones at once. Log a spend in about three seconds, and what is left updates for both of you immediately. Nobody has to ask, nobody has to remember, and nobody finds out at the end of the month.
WHY COUPLES USE IT
Money goes missing between two people in small amounts nobody remembers approving: coffees, parking, a supermarket run each. Agreeing on a limit once is easy. Seeing where you stand every time you pick up your phone is what actually changes anything.
WHAT YOU GET
• One plan, both phones. Groceries $520 a month, Outings $90 a week: each budget refills on its own rhythm, and you both see the same remaining amount the moment it changes.
• The number you actually want, first. Home opens on what is left once the bills still to come are out of it, and reads it against the day: level with the date, ahead of it, or spending faster than the days pass.
• Three-second logging. Tap the budget, type the amount, done. Categories, notes and photos are there when you want them and never required.
• Bills counted first. Rent, energy, insurance and subscriptions come off the top before anything is called spendable, each one showing what it really costs you in a year.
• A what-if before you spend. Type an amount and Kesto answers from the real plan: what it leaves, and whether the month still reaches payday.
• Lock Screen widgets. What is left, on both phones, before you even unlock.
• Live partner updates. One of you logs a spend, the other gets a notification with the new number, and both widgets follow it.
• Where it went. By budget, by category, and by which of you spent it. No blame, just the number.
• Moments. Name a weekend away or a party, and every spend from both of you lands in it, whichever budget paid for it.
• Payday to payday. Each pay month closes into a record you can reopen, so progress is something you see instead of something you remember.
• Optional smart helpers. Photograph a receipt or a bill, or say a spend out loud, and Kesto fills the form in for you to check. With no signal, your phone reads the receipt itself.
NO BANK LOGIN
Kesto never asks for your bank credentials. There is no connection to go stale, nothing to leak, and it works with any bank in any country. When you want to check yourself, you read your own balance and type it in; Kesto tells you the difference and where it went.
BUILT FOR TWO, USABLE BY ONE
A partner is optional and joins later with a six-character code. Everything works offline and syncs when you are back. English, Dutch and Persian, in any currency, priced for the country you live in.
FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT THE REST
The budget is free forever: unlimited budgets, both partners, widgets, partner notifications, three months of history, and an export and backup that always hold everything you have ever logged. Five smart helpers a month are free too, so you can see what they do first.
Kesto Plus adds 300 helpers a month, a number we print instead of the word "unlimited", and opens your history back to your first spend. Kesto Plus Pro doubles that to 1000. One purchase covers both partners.
SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS
