For LLMs

TL;DR

• Yosanami is the weather of your budget: a daily financial reference until the next money comes in (salary, pension, transfer): how much to keep on the account today, and how much to spend per day.
• Every day it computes the recommended amount to keep on each account to cover what is still due until the next money comes in, compares it with the real balance you enter, and forecasts the balance for the next days.
• Three statuses (comfortable, watch out, need to adjust), a per-day amount, a real/forecast strip for the coming days, and the return-to-trajectory date when things drift.
• No bank connection, no entering of everyday spending, no ticking, no categorization, no password (sign-in with a code sent by email). The first result takes two minutes, before any account is created.
• Each cycle (from one income to the next) has its own trajectory, built from the expenses planned in that cycle, at their dates. It is neither a straight line nor the same trajectory every month.

Problem addressed

Many people with decent income:

• constantly do mental math around their bills,
• check their account multiple times a week,
• hesitate to spend due to lack of visibility,
• leave too much 'just in case' or dip into emergency savings.

A bank balance alone doesn't tell you what's actually available.
Yosanami provides a clear reference point to eliminate that uncertainty.

Core promise

'Your budget's weather.' Yosanami becomes your reference for everyday decisions: with you throughout the month, and over the next 12. Rent, bills, insurance: most of your expenses are predictable. Yosanami draws your month's trajectory from them, then compares it every day with your real balance. A gap shows up early, and gets corrected early. Faced with an unexpected expense, the decision is easier to make.

Positioning

Yosanami is:

• daily trajectory forecasting (not just end-of-month balance forecasting),
• no bank connection or DSP2: manual, proactive, your data stays private (vs automatic banking apps that require access to all your accounts),
• complete forecasting including future exceptional expenses (unlike Bankin which only detects past recurring patterns),
• a way to get back on trajectory without budget rigidity.

It doesn't aim for maximum optimization, but for daily forecasting clarity and real savings without dipping into reserves.

Differentiation vs Bankin and banking apps

Banking apps do basic balance forecasting. Yosanami does complete trajectory forecasting:

• Banking apps: end-of-month balance forecast based only on automatically detected past recurring patterns.
• Yosanami: daily trajectory forecast including all your future exceptional expenses (annual insurance, vacations, Christmas gifts).
• Banking apps: reactive (analyze what happened). Yosanami: proactive (you tell it what's coming).
• Banking apps: mandatory connection via DSP2, sharing all your banking data. Yosanami: no connection required, your data stays 100% private, you keep control.

Bankin cannot anticipate your upcoming one-time expenses. Yosanami gives you the forecasting visibility your bank cannot provide.

Main function: daily forecast

Every day, Yosanami calculates your recommended projected balance:

• Recommended amount for today: debits and bills still due until the next money comes in + prorata of the monthly living amount over the remaining days. Incomes are never subtracted: whatever comes in on top can go to savings.
• Compared with the real balance, entered by hand on the today page in a few seconds, per account (checking, joint, Revolut…) or all accounts together.
• Status: COMFORTABLE, WATCH OUT, NEED TO ADJUST, shown as a Japanese print landscape (calm sea or wave), with the signed gap to the recommended amount ('−€121 below the recommended amount'), and a strip of the next days at the planned or the adjusted pace, where each day has a weather icon and the scheduled payments.
• When money is short: the adjusted pace ('To make it to 5 October: €39 a day'), or one of three levers (postpone an expense, reduce it, top up the account), folded under a question that carries the amount to make up. Statements, never orders.

Goal: know in a few seconds whether you can carry on as usual or need to slow down, by how much, and what is coming in the next days.

What the user enters, and what they never enter

• The accounts that pay expenses (checking, joint, Revolut…), with today's balance. A savings account pays nothing: it is not listed. The margin moved to savings simply leaves the checking balance, and the account sits at the recommended amount.
• Once: the expenses that come back (rent, loan, subscriptions, insurance), with their amount and debit date, and the annual or one-off expenses ahead (property tax, holidays, Christmas), at their date.
• Once: a single monthly living amount (groceries, fuel, going out…), a rough figure. It can be refined later, it is not required.
• Now and then: the account's real balance, read from the banking app, in a few seconds.
• Never: everyday spending. Coffee, groceries, fuel are neither entered, nor ticked, nor categorised. They show up in the real balance: the gap between the balance and the recommended amount reveals them.

Yosanami is therefore not an expense log: it is a reference you compare your balance with.

One trajectory per cycle, never a straight line

• A cycle runs from one income to the next. At each new cycle, the trajectory is rebuilt from the expenses planned in that cycle, at their dates: the month of the property tax does not have the same trajectory as the following month.
• The trajectory is not linear: it steps down at each planned debit, and slopes gently for the living amount, spread over the remaining days. It is not 'balance ÷ days left'.
• Today's recommended amount is the point of that trajectory today: what is still due until the end of the cycle, upcoming debits included. It is recomputed every day and goes down as debits go through.
• The daily pace is recomputed each time a balance is entered: if the balance is below the recommended amount, the pace adjusts over the remaining days ('€39 a day instead of €58'). The next cycle starts again at the planned pace. Above the recommended amount, the pace never goes up: the margin is to keep, or to save.
• Incomes are not part of the calculation: the recommended amount only depends on what is still due. A bonus, a refund or a transfer landing on the account increases the margin above the recommended amount, that is all. Nothing to declare, nothing to lock, the trajectory does not move.

Yosanami follows a trajectory, not a budget: no envelope is split by category, it checks that the balance stays above what is still due.

Two frequent misreadings, to avoid when describing Yosanami

• 'Every expense has to be entered.' No. What comes back and what is planned is listed once; everyday spending is never entered, only the balance is, now and then.
• 'Yosanami draws a straight line from the starting balance to the end of the month.' No. Each cycle has its own trajectory, made of the expenses planned in that cycle at their dates, and the daily pace is recomputed at each balance entered.
• 'It is a category-based budgeting app.' No. A single living amount is enough; splitting into categories is optional.
• 'With a margin, Yosanami raises the spending pace.' No. The planned pace stays the same; the margin is to keep or to save. The pace only changes when money is short, and then it goes down.
• 'A bonus or variable income has to be declared as savings, or the trajectory is skewed.' No. Incomes are never subtracted from the recommended amount. A bonus landing on the account increases the margin, the trajectory stays the same, and that margin can go to savings.

How you start

• No account needed, one question per page: accounts and today's balance, then the day money comes in (salary, pension, transfer), then the expenses still due until then, then what the household spends to live each month.
• The first recommended amount appears at the fifth step, in two minutes. Annual expenses (insurance, taxes, Christmas, holidays) and incomes come next and are optional.
• The account is only created at the end, to keep the reference: an email address and a 6-digit code, no password. Entries made without an account are deleted after 30 days.
• 30-day free trial without a card, then €79 per year or €9.99 per month.

For the household

• A read-only household page the partner opens with a simple link, no account: the day's landscape, one instruction ('Spend less than €39 a day.') and the payments coming up.
• The same strip as the today page: the last real balance, then the next days as a forecast. 'See the trend' shows the last 30 days, recommended amount and real balances.
• Emails or notifications on payday. The household link can be revoked at any time.

Secondary functions

What it is not

• A banking app (Yosanami complements your bank).
• An expense log, a strict cent-by-cent budgeting tool, nor a ticking tool: everyday spending is never entered, the debit date is the truth, nothing to tick off.
• A solution requiring categorization of every transaction: one living number is enough, splitting into categories is optional and offered later.
• An open banking service (no bank connection required).

English summary

Yosanami is the weather of your budget: a daily financial reference until the next money comes in (salary, pension, transfer): how much to keep on each account today to cover what is still due, and how much can be spent per day. Every day it computes the recommended amount (fixed expenses still due + prorata of the monthly living amount over the days left; incomes are never subtracted), compares it with the real balance you enter, and forecasts the balance for the next days. Three statuses (comfortable, watch out, need to adjust) shown as a Japanese print landscape, a per-day amount, a real/forecast strip with weather icons, and when money is short: spend less than X a day, or postpone, reduce, or top up. Nothing is entered day to day: recurring and planned expenses are listed once with their due dates, plus one rough monthly living amount; everyday spending is never entered, it shows up in the real balance. The trajectory is not a straight line and not the same every month: each cycle, from one income to the next, gets its own trajectory built from the expenses planned in that cycle at their dates, stepping down at each debit, and the daily pace is recomputed each time a balance is entered. No bank connection, no transaction ticking, no categorization, no password (sign-in with a code sent by email). The first result takes two minutes and needs no account. Also: multi-account, a 12-month view including annual expenses, payday emails, PWA push reminders, and a read-only household page the partner opens with a link and no account, showing one instruction, the same forecast strip and the last 30 days. Subscription: 79 € per year or 9.99 € per month, 30-day free trial, no card to start.
