About Haiku

A different way to manage money.

For many of us, traditional budgets don't work.They tell us what we did, but not what we can do now, today.They overwhelm us with data, graphs, categories and subcategories.They require extensive setup and then need constant maintenance.Eventually, we give up.Haiku is different.

Designed for real life

Look forward, not backward
Every week is a fresh start. Haiku gives you the information you need to quickly make smart decisions without second-guessing.One clear number
A single, accurate spendable amount - no categories or overwhelm, just clarity. Haiku does the math for you, so you can spend without stressing.Automatic and easy
Instant setup, and no maintenance required. As money comes in and out and bills change, your spendable updates instantly, moving with your life.Private and secure
Your transactions are fully encrypted and we can't access your accounts. We will never sell your data. You can export or delete it at any time.

Haiku is for you if:

  • You find it hard to stick to budgets because little things add up, and suddenly there goes the month

  • Budgeting feels overwhelming, rigid, or exhausting

  • You want to stay on track without checking a spreadsheet before each purchase

  • You don't have time to set up a system or spend hours reviewing it each month

Haiku is not a good fit if:

  • You enjoy managing detailed budgets and categories

  • You want to plan every dollar in advance

  • You like actively tracking and optimizing your spending and savings

  • You find it easy to keep your spending in check
