Japan Money Tracker
Organize your money for Japanese tax filing.
Japan Money Tracker helps organize receipts, transactions and currencies before tax preparation. AI suggests extracted details and categories; you review them against the original records.
Free to use. Browser-based, with optional AI and cloud integrations.
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. Review the extracted details against the receipt.
Import statements
Import bank PDFs or CSVs, then review the suggested categories against your records.
Export for filing
Export a CSV for review with your accountant, or sync to Airtable. Confirm the format your filing process requires.
