Why Kauri
True Offline Freedom
Airplane mode over the Pacific or no signal in the mountains — Kauri works everywhere. Using PowerSync, we store everything locally and sync to the cloud only when you have a connection.
Multi-Currency Integrity
Track expenses in any local currency while Kauri normalizes everything to your "Home Currency." Our historical integrity model ensures that changing your base currency today doesn’t rewrite your past financial history.
AI-Powered Intelligence
Snap a photo of any receipt. Kauri uses on-device OCR and a hybrid AI pipeline to instantly extract the merchant, total, and currency — translating and itemizing global receipts in seconds.
Residency Tracking
Kauri automatically infers your location from your spending data, helping you track days spent in different tax jurisdictions without the manual log-keeping.
Dual-Currency Perspective
View every transaction through two lenses: the local currency you spent on the ground, and your primary home currency for long-term budgeting and sanity.
Couples & Sharing
Manage joint finances with a Travel Partner. Share specific trip budgets or entire category groups with another user for a unified view of your shared global life.
The origin
Used across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East for centuries, the cowrie crossed every border that existed. It didn't care which country you were in.
We built Kauri because we've been that person — living abroad, trying to make sense of spending across currencies, watching every budgeting app fail to keep up.
The right tool for a borderless life has always been missing. We're building it.
