Log the gift you received, who gave it, and the occasion. Okaeshi instantly calculates the correct return amount and sets a deadline based on Japanese etiquette rules. You'll get reminders as the deadline approaches so nothing slips through.
Each occasion has its own etiquette rules. Okaeshi knows whether the standard is a half-return, a third-return, or something in between — and calculates the exact target range from what you received.
Every obligation gets an automatic deadline based on the occasion. Choose from 14-day, 7-day, 3-day, and 1-day reminders. For bereavement returns, a special 49th-day (四十九日) reminder is included.
Not sure what to send back? Okaeshi suggests appropriate return gifts for each occasion and budget, with both Japanese and English names.
Each obligation includes an etiquette note explaining the customs, timing, and expectations — so you always know the "why" behind the amount and deadline.
Track up to 3 obligations free. Unlock unlimited tracking with a one-time purchase of ¥480 — no subscription, no recurring fees.
