USE CASE · PERSONAL

Your receipts,
your clarity.

For people who want to know where money went - without linking a bank, without a budgeting religion, and without losing warranty proof in a drawer.

The problem

Spending is real. Your records usually are not.

You buy things every week. Receipts pile up, disappear, or live in photos you never open. Bank apps show totals - not what you bought or what is under warranty.

  • Paper and PDF receipts scattered across pockets, email, and camera roll
  • End-of-month surprise with no proof trail
  • Returns stall because the receipt is missing
  • You do not want to share bank credentials just to track purchases

Who it is for

Built for one person first.

Personal is the solo path in Kesten. Start alone. Invite a household later only if you want to.

After checkout

Anyone who shops with receipts

Cash, card, fiscal QR, or photo - if there is a purchase, you can capture it in seconds.

No bank link

People who hate bank linking

You choose what to log. Nothing syncs from your bank. Privacy stays the default.

Proof attached

Buyers who keep big purchases

Appliances, phones, furniture - keep the receipt and warranty context when you need a claim.

Capture

Log purchases without retyping.

Scan a fiscal QR where available, photograph the slip, or upload from gallery. Merchant and amount become a transaction fast.

  • QR scan for Serbian fiskalni računi (PURS)
  • Photo or gallery upload anywhere
  • Manual entry when there is no slip
