One ledger. Two experiences.

Desktop is the full financial workspace. Mobile is the focused daily instrument. Both share the same ledger without pretending they should behave alike.

See the whole system. Open only what matters.

Position, ledger, plan, accounts, and insight live in one continuous workspace. Details enter in context instead of replacing the work.

Daily Garden · mobile

Glance. Capture. Confirm. Leave.

The phone keeps the daily decisions close and the administration out of the way. Swipe the device or choose a state.

02 · Garden import + trust

Nothing changes before you can see it.

A statement becomes a proposed ledger, not an irreversible action. Recognition, mapping, duplicate checks, and preview happen before commit. Undo stays available.

Meet KRIS. A calmer way to keep promises.

KRIS turns natural input into a structured proposal and shows exactly what would change. It is designed to write to Calendar or Reminders only after approval; the current executor is preview-only and Apple integrations are not yet shipped.

The system meets you where the promise lives.

Planned KRIS widgets surface bounded actions—Up Next, Today, Reset, and Quick Capture—without pretending a widget is a tiny chatbot.

Bring the difficult brief.

Have a consequential site or product where the model, interface, motion, and implementation need to become one coherent thing?
