Essentials first
Nobody needs two hundred items in the first week. The list starts with what makes a home work.
About meukanto
Moving out doesn’t have to be scary.
meukanto is an app for anyone moving out on their own for the first time, or with someone. It turns “how much will it cost?” into a list, an amount and a date.
Why it exists
Moving out is exciting. And confusing.
We read the comments of people setting up their first home, and the questions were always the same: where to start, how much it costs and what to buy first.
Lists online have two hundred items, and none of them tell you what things cost, what comes first or when you’re done. Spreadsheets wear you out. And the finished homes on social media make it look like everyone else already got there.
meukanto exists to make that path shorter: start with the essentials, at your pace, with no debt and no guilt.
“I do not know where to start.”
“Even my bed is borrowed.”
“How much does it cost to furnish a studio?”
“I cried over my first purchase for my place.”
Who makes it
Hi, I’m Silas.
I’m a developer in Feira de Santana, in Bahia, Brazil, and I build meukanto end to end: the research with people moving out, the design, the app and the support.
It’s an independent project, made for what setting up a home in Brazil really looks like: prices in reais, buying in stages, Pix and housewarming gift lists.

What we believe
box by box!Six ideas that guide the app
Honest prices
Amounts are estimates for your region, always shown as “about”. You can adjust each one.
At your pace
You say how much you can save. We tell you when it will be ready. No pressure and no guilt.
Every box counts
Buying the fridge is an achievement. The app celebrates with you, and you can post it if you want.
Your money is your business
In stories, the amount you paid is off by default. You choose what to show.
Easier together
Plan with whoever is moving in with you, and let family help through a housewarming gift list.
Transparency
How meukanto keeps going
Finding out what your home costs, building the list, checking off what you bought, creating stories and a gift list with up to 10 gifts are free. The subscription unlocks extras like real spending, more gifts on the list and its style, and it’s what pays for the app’s development.
