Expense tracking
Comprehensive Expense Tracking
Our expense tracker lets you categorize spending and analyze trends. See recent transactions and category spending cards on one screen — Rent $2K of $2.4K, Coffee $5 of $100, and so on.
Quick entry
Log Expenses in Seconds
Tap +, enter the amount, add a description like "Netflix", pick a category like "Fun". Turn on recurring monthly and choose the day — it logs itself every month.
Budget management
Stay on Top of Every Budget Category
Tap into any category to see the full list of transactions — who spent what and when. The progress bar turns red when you go over budget. Here, Utilities is overspent at 174% — $1.2K spent against a $700 limit.
Income tracking
Track All Your Income
Add sources like Salary and Rent. See total income this month with a breakdown of expected, received, and pending. Your complete money management picture in one view.
Bill tracker
Bill Tracker & Payment Reminders
Never miss a payment. Set recurring entries with repeat dates — like rent on the 8th and 6th of each month — and Koru tracks them automatically.
Budget planning
Set & Manage Your Monthly Budget
Set a total monthly budget — like $3,700 — then allocate it across your categories. Travel gets $200, Pet $100, Personal $2,700, Utilities $700. The allocation bar fills up as you assign, so you can see exactly how much is left to distribute.
Spending analytics
Detailed Reports & Insights
Net position, savings rate, logging streak, and a Health Score from 0-100 that grades your financial wellness. The donut chart breaks spending down by category so you see where your money actually went.
Notifications
Budget Alerts That Keep You on Track
Budget warnings at 90% and over-budget alerts. Notifications when your partner logs expenses or income. A daily reminder to log today's spending, and a monthly reset summary on the 1st.
