Kakeibo: Money Tracker - Style Your Saving

"Kakeibo" is a Japanese method of saving money - record, review, and reflect your daily spendings. Visualizing how much you spent for what, you see where you spend most, where you spend too much, and therefore where you could spend more wisely next round. It’s really a fun to play.

Kakeibo! helps you to join this game, and way more - now you can share the fun with your family. Let your kids learn money, keep a joint wallet for two, or even track how much your good partner drinks...

Happy saving, happy spending!
