Invoices, contracts, and receipts are scattered across folders, apps, and emails.
CostCrafter is the system for your household
— not just a tool for your finances.
Costs, documents, and contracts belong together.
CostCrafter makes your household finally understandable.
In everyday life, everything is separated — that’s what makes it complex.

The Problem
A household is not a budget.
You see costs — but not the bigger picture.
Meter readings exist, but not alongside costs and consumption.
Deadlines and important dates get lost in everyday life.
Utility costs are visible, but not clearly structured.
CostCrafter makes your household finally understandable.

How it works
Three steps to a well-organised household
1
Set up your household
Set up your household in one minute. Create accounts, labels, and categories — or start straight away with the defaults.
2
Add everything that belongs
Expenses, receipts, contracts, documents, meter readings — everything in one place, directly from the app or via photo.
3
Deadlines, budgets, overview
CostCrafter reminds you about deadlines, warns you before you exceed budgets, and shows you at a glance what is happening in your household.
The system
The building blocks of a connected household
CostCrafter is not just a budget tracker and not just a document app. It connects the parts of household organization that belong together.
Shared household
Everyone works in the same system — no chaos or duplication.
Costs
Instantly understand what your money actually supports.
Documents
Find invoices and contracts in seconds — no searching.
Contracts
Stay on top of deadlines and obligations — no surprises.
Meter readings
See how usage and costs relate at a glance.
Mobility
Integrate vehicle costs into your household instead of managing them separately.
Budgets
Set monthly or yearly spending limits per category and receive a notification before you exceed them.
Notifications
Get reminded before deadlines pass, budgets are exceeded, or meter readings are due — via push notification or email.
In practice
Three moments that make the difference
Take a photo — products become searchable.
Enter your expense with name, amount and labels, then attach a receipt photo. CostCrafter automatically extracts all individual products and prices — making them searchable and price trends comparable over time.
No more missed deadlines.
CostCrafter reminds you in time before cancellation deadlines expire — as a push notification on your phone or by email.
Over budget? You'll know before it happens.
Set monthly or yearly limits per category. CostCrafter warns you before you exceed the budget.

Who is CostCrafter for?
Differentiation
Why CostCrafter is not a typical finance tool
Most apps solve isolated problems. CostCrafter connects costs, documents, contracts, and deadlines in one system.
Built for real household workflows
Designed for the tasks that actually happen in everyday life.
Typical finance tools stop at budgeting.
Connected instead of isolated
Everything belongs together — see your household as a whole.
Other tools only show fragments.
Privacy by design
Your data stays under your control.
Other products rely on data access and external processing.
Overview instead of searching
Important information stays visible and easy to find.
Separate tools create friction as soon as information has to be pieced together.
You’ve seen how it works.
