Frequently Asked Questions

A daily allowance app based on Kakeibo, the century-old Japanese budgeting method. Instead of complex categories and forecasts, Resto gives you one simple number: how much you can spend today without wrecking your month. That's it. That's the app.

A Japanese budgeting method created in 1904 by journalist Hani Motoko. Instead of spreadsheets and 47 categories, you answer four questions each month: How much do I have? How much do I want to save? How much am I spending? How can I improve? Simple, mindful, and proven for over a century. Read the full story.

Simple math. Your income minus your fixed expenses (rent, bills, subscriptions), divided by the days in your month. The result is your daily allowance — what you can spend today. Every time you log a purchase, your number adjusts. No end-of-month surprises.

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use passwordless authentication — we send you a code by email every time you log in. No passwords means nothing to steal. Most importantly: we never sell, rent, or share your data with anyone. Your spending habits are yours alone. Read our privacy policy.

No, and that's by design. You control what goes in. No bank API that can be revoked. No dependency on your bank's willingness to cooperate. You log expenses manually because that act of recording is part of the Kakeibo method — it makes you mindful of every dollar that goes out.

All of them. Resto is a PWA (Progressive Web App) — install it directly from your browser on any phone, tablet, or computer. It looks and feels like a native app, no App Store required. iOS, Android, whatever you've got.

30 days free to try it out, no credit card required. After that, $39 USD for 6 months or $68 USD for 12 months (save 13%). Less than a coffee a week for daily financial clarity.

Yes. Resto has a household invitation system. Invite the people you share expenses with and see where the money goes together. Everyone keeps their own perspective, but you're all on the same page.

Always. Your data is yours. You can export everything at any time from your account settings. If you ever decide to leave, your data leaves with you. No hostage situations.

Most budgeting apps want you to predict the future and feel bad when you're wrong. Resto gives you a daily number and two categories — needs and wants. No shame notifications, no fortune-telling, no 47-item taxonomy. Just Kakeibo wisdom in a modern package.
