The method

What is kakebo, and why bring it to your phone

Kakebo (家計簿) is the household ledger Japanese families have used since 1904 to record every expense and every bit of income, and to reflect before spending. It's not just bookkeeping — it's a small, often shared ritual for looking at your finances together.

Mooneka brings this ritual to both partners' phones: no more paper sheets to reconcile at the end of the month, no more trying to remember "who paid for what."
