## What is Sakiwake?

Sakiwake is a simple personal finance app built around one habit: split your money before you spend it, then check what is left.
Instead of turning budgeting into complicated bookkeeping, Sakiwake helps you decide what you can spend today. At the start of the month, divide your incoming money into Living, Fixed, Fun, and money to set aside for later. As you spend, log each expense with an amount and an optional category, then check remaining balances by category.
Key features:
- Allocate this month’s money before spending
- See remaining balances for Living, Fixed, and Fun
- Log expenses quickly with amount and an optional category
- Choose Simple or Category budgets to match how you plan your money
- Set aside money for annual bills, trips, savings, and other future spending
- Move budget between categories when plans change
- Check balances from Home Screen widgets
- Sign in with Apple, Google, or email and use cloud sync
- Unlock family sharing and expanded history with Premium
- Sakiwake is designed for people who want a clearer answer to one daily question: how much can I still spend?
- Split first. Spend with confidence. Keep your monthly budget simple.
