Roadmap

Where Kalem is going.

We build in phases, and only move on when the one before works well for real people. Dates are announced as each phase gets close.

  1. Early previewAvailable nowToday

    The everyday basics

    What you can use today: the core of Kalem, on the web, installable on any phone or computer.

    • Safe to spend today, payday to payday or by calendar month
    • Quick entry that understands “coffee 4.80 visa”, “25k”, and “yesterday”
    • Paste or share bank and e-wallet notifications, marked for review
    • Bills that log themselves when you tick them as paid
    • Insights: money in and out, savings rate, categories, by day, week, or month
    • End-to-end encrypted sync with Google sign-in, a Recovery Key, and device approval
    • Hide amounts, light and dark mode, Bahasa Indonesia and English
    • JSON backup and CSV export, works offline, installs like an app

  2. Phase 2In progressTiming: announced soon

    Stronger security, smoother devices

    Make the private parts effortless, and the everyday parts sharper.

    • App lock with a passkey or your device’s fingerprint or face
    • Link a new device by scanning a QR code
    • See your signed-in devices and remove a lost one
    • Encrypted snapshots, so new devices load in seconds
    • Ready-made notification formats for popular banks and e-wallets
    • Category limits on Home, and reports comparing this month with last
    • Import transactions from your bank’s CSV
  3. Phase 3Up nextTiming: announced soon

    Family and friends (private alpha)

    Money is often shared. Budget together without giving up what is yours.

    • Shared budgets for 2 to 5 people, with private accounts for each person
    • Pro Mode: rules that categorise for you, and split transactions
    • An Android app that can read bank notifications on your phone
    • Send feedback from the app, only when you choose to
  4. Phase 4PlannedTiming: announced soon

    Open source and public beta

    Trust you can check, not just a promise.

    • Source code published under the AGPL-3.0 license
    • Host your own sync server with one Docker command
    • An independent security audit, with the report made public
    • Data stored in the EU for people there, and self-serve account export and deletion
    • Public beta: free for everyone
  5. Phase 5PlannedTiming: announced soon

    Kalem Plus and Founder

    Paid plans that pay for the servers, never for your data.

    • Plus: encrypted sync on all your devices, shared budgets, automatic backups, receipt photos, priority support
    • Founder: Plus for life, for the first 1,000 supporters
    • Fair local pricing, starting with Indonesia
    • A status page and support you can reach

    Beyond the beta

    Ideas we are committed to exploring once the core is solid.

    • Kalem in the Play Store and App Store
    • Business: separate shop and household money, profit and loss, staff access
    • Kalem for organisations: self-hosted, single sign-on, audit logs
