The journal entry,
automated.

Journaut quietly turns your Kraken activity into clean, auditable journal lines in Xero — every day, by FIFO, without you reaching for a spreadsheet.

No. 1 — Kraken → Xero
Chapter I · The Problem
The catch

Crypto doesn't fit in a row on a bank statement.

You hold the asset on Kraken. Your books live in Xero. Between them sits a CSV, a FIFO calculation, and a spreadsheet someone copied from someone else in 2022.

Every disposal needs a cost basis, a realised gain or loss, a journal line per asset, and an audit trail you'd be willing to show a regulator. Doing that by hand each month is the kind of work nobody hired you to do.

Journaut is the small, opinionated piece of software that does it for you.

Chapter II · How it works
Three quiet steps

Connect once. Read your books the rest of the year.

Journaut sits between Kraken and Xero like a careful junior bookkeeper — fetching daily, reconciling by FIFO, and posting only the journals you've approved.

No. 1

Connect Kraken & Xero

Read-only API key for Kraken, OAuth for Xero. Five minutes, twice. Journaut starts watching the moment you finish.

No. 2

FIFO, every day

A versioned lot pool, a deterministic engine, and one statement line per day in Xero. Boring on purpose. Numbers are never AI-generated.

No. 3

Statements & journals, posted

Daily bank-statement lines for every Kraken movement, plus monthly realised & unrealised gain/loss journals — each one fully reversible and traceable back to the lots it came from. Every figure tracked, every change versioned.

Connected app

Built for Xero, not bolted on.

Authenticated via Xero's official OAuth, posting to your real chart of accounts. The journals are yours — Journaut just files them.

Deterministic FIFO

The numbers are never AI-generated.

A versioned, reproducible engine. AI helps explain a journal in plain English — it never produces the figure that gets posted.

Security

Read-only Kraken keys. Encrypted at rest.

Multi-tenant by design — every workspace's data is isolated at the database level. API keys and OAuth tokens are encrypted with Fernet before they ever touch a disk.

Priced for SMBs

From £12 a month.

Specialist crypto-accounting tools cost hundreds a month and price out the small operators who need them most. Journaut starts at £12 — because the books shouldn't cost more than the bookkeeping.

Chapter III · The Roadmap

One pair, working today. More on the way.
