Kashu: Cash-Flow Intelligence that shows Safe to Spend — not just your balance

A healthy bank balance can still hide a cash-flow collision before payday. Kashu — Cash-Flow Intelligence inside MyMotiveLife — answers a sharper question: how much can you safely use right now without breaking upcoming obligations?

The bank shows what you have. Kashu shows what is yours to use.

Kashu’s primary metric is Safe to Spend:

Bank Balance − Reserved Obligations − Safety Floor = Safe to Spend

• Balance — what is in the operating account (entered manually or learned from a statement).
• Reserved — money already committed to bills through your next payday.
• Safety floor — an optional buffer treated as unavailable.

That formula is the filter for every Kashu feature.

Not another budget app

Kashu is deliberately not a traditional expense tracker. It treats timing as a first-class variable: weekly and biweekly pay, bill waves, and posting drift.

You feed the model by:

1. Setting the pay plan on Buffers (frequency, typical paycheck, next payday) 2. Naming the bills you already know on Bills (mortgage, insurance, utilities) 3. Uploading a PDF/CSV statement or pasting text — Kashu matches those lines to the plan you typed 4. Confirming leftover suggestions only

No bank connection required. Kashu works with manual entry and statement uploads. Optional connected banking is being developed as a premium experience. Statements are evidence. They should not create a second “RBC Mortgage” if you already named it.

On a 3-pay biweekly month, say whether the last paycheck is a bonus. Treating bonus as regular pay rewrites typical paycheck and later months go wrong.

What you can do in Kashu

• Cash-Flow Radar — today → next payday → 30 days (green / yellow / red)
• Bill Timing Optimizer — when income is enough but dates create a gap
• What-If — “what if I spend $400 today?” before you spend it
• Can I Afford It — yes / stretch / no before the purchase
• Payday Mode — update the deposit and recalculate so you don’t spend it on day one
• Emergency & buffers — reserves stay protected; the floor is never Safe to Spend
• Transition Mode — switching banks without closing the old account too early
• Ask Kashu — conversational questions from *your* forecast, not generic advice
• Predicted vs actual — balance, statement, and transaction updates teach the model
• Life OS — KINZO extra km → fuel; DayO travel and pre-payday events; UPLIFT goal cost. LifeVue shows Financial Future. VYRA asks Kashu instead of guessing.

Part of the MyMotiveLife suite

Kashu sits beside DayO, LifeVue, KINZO AI, UPLIFT, and VYRA AI. It is included with MyMotiveLife Pro — not a separate SKU.

VYRA remains your broader AI Chief of Staff. Kashu owns the specialized cash-flow model so other modules do not invent financial estimates.

Privacy

Income, bills, uploaded statements, and transition notes stay on your login. Other users never see your Safe to Spend or payroll notes.
