The Koha Books

The smallest honest ledger on earth — for a person, a fundraiser, a whānau account. Money in, money out, and any line can be marked tuku — given or received in aroha. It runs entirely on this machine: nothing leaves it, no account, no cloud, no toll. At close it exports a one-page circulation statement — honest enough to show a bank, warm enough to show a nanny. The old ledger counted revenue and expense; this one counts received and circulated.

Circulation = the share of the book that moved as tuku. A line straight through is a transaction; the line bent home is circulation — line, circle, spiral.

Tō huarahi — your journey

Tānepepeke growLeap · your record, yours alone, pull it any time

Honesty strip: your journey lives on this device and rides with you through the doors — no account, no tracking, no one else reads it. When the gate runs live it walks every room with you whole; in these copies it carries itself through each door you take. Peripheral vision holds seats for the others near your kaupapa — presence only, never their detail — and fills when the world is wired.
