Household money, recorded clearly and traceable

One ledger for every place money sits — cash, bank, e-wallet, card — and for everything moving between them.

One transaction, one account, one date

Every transaction is a single movement of money against a single account, on the date you chose. A transfer is recorded as a pair and is never counted as income or expense.

Balances are derived, not stored

An account's balance is its opening balance plus all of its transactions. An investment is its quantity times its latest valuation. Every summary figure can be rebuilt from the underlying records, so a discrepancy always has a cause you can find.

A budget for the household, a limit for a person

A budget covers the whole household, per category, per period. Inside it, one member can be given a spending limit. The authority to set one belongs to the role, not to anyone's gender.

Bills you do not have to keep in your head

A recurring rule makes a bill appear when it is due, with a due date and a paid or unpaid state. The rule itself is not a transaction — the transaction appears when the bill falls due.

What is owed, with its terms

Record the counterparty, the amount, the terms and the payment schedule — for what the household owes and for what is owed to it.

Holdings and their valuations

Keep how much is held and where its price is read from. Day-to-day change is the difference between two valuations, not a figure that appears from nowhere.

Entered by hand, on purpose

Asaruma never asks for your bank or e-wallet credentials. Entering a transaction takes a few seconds, and what you get for it is a ledger that is entirely yours and defensible figure by figure.

Open to the household unless you say otherwise

A transaction is visible to the household by default, because shared money needs to be seen together. Any transaction can still be made private or opened to named people only.

Your household ledger starts with one transaction
