Launch day: KeaBudget is open to everyone
KeaBudget is live and free for every Kiwi. Track your money, set budgets, split flat bills, import your bank CSV, and pull a tax-year summary. Here's what shipped.
Today KeaBudget opens to everyone. Not the waitlist, not a preview: the real app, free, live at app.keabudget.co.nz.
If you joined the waitlist, you got an email this morning. If you didn't, you can still jump straight in.
Here's what's in your hands today:
- Track income and spending with categories built for Kiwi life (rates, rego, KiwiSaver, school donations).
- Set monthly budgets and watch live progress bars.
- Recurring transactions for rent, salary and subscriptions, so they post themselves.
- Split flat bills and shared costs, and keep track of who owes what.
- Import bank statements as CSV from any major NZ bank, or add transactions by hand.
- A dashboard that shows where your money actually goes, plus a tax-year summary you can hand to your accountant.
It's free, and the personal app stays free forever. No ads, no selling your data, hosted in Australasia.
What's next: automatic bank sync via Akahu (ASB, BNZ, Westpac, ANZ, Kiwibank, Co-op). We're sorting out the access for it now. Until then, CSV import and manual entry have you covered.
The honest meta-note: KeaBudget is built in the open, leaning hard on modern AI to ship fast and lean. Watching it go from a waitlist page to a live product that handles real money has been the wildest part. If you try it and something feels off, or you wish a feature existed, reply to any email or write to hello@keabudget.co.nz. Early feedback genuinely shapes what gets built next.
Ngā mihi for being here. The KeaBudget team
