Japan Money Tracker
Organize your money for Japanese tax filing.
Filing taxes in Japan as a freelancer or expat is a nightmare of scattered receipts, mixed currencies, and categories you can't read. Japan Money Tracker uses AI to parse your receipts, track your transactions in 確定申告-ready categories, and keep everything organized so filing day isn't chaos.
Free to use. Runs in your browser. Your data stays local.
How it works
Three ways in. One organized output.
Scan receipts
Point your phone camera at a receipt. Copy the text via Live Text or Google Lens. Paste it into the app. Claude extracts everything.
Import statements
Drop bank PDFs or CSVs. The app classifies each transaction into the right Japanese tax category automatically.
Export for filing
Download a clean CSV with every field your accountant or e-Tax needs. Or sync to Airtable for collaborative review.
