Two things it does

Saving money and lowering carbon —
it holds both.

Two motivations, side by side. The app shows both and lets you choose.

Advisor · free

Works everywhere, immediately.

Needs only your location and which appliances you have. Today’s grid as a clean / cheap timeline, with plain nudges.

“Wait until 14:30 — it’s 74% cleaner then.”
Per-appliance run-now / wait-until
A clean and a cheap answer, never just one

What's been missing

Why no one shows you this

Utility apps graph what you used. Market-price apps ignore carbon. Carbon trackers use last year's average. Each shows a piece — usugurai puts your real usage on the live grid: carbon and price, through the day.

Live from the grid

Real numbers, right now — not marketing.

The very data the app runs on — carbon and price for every Japanese grid area, straight from JEPX and the regional operators. Check it against the source yourself.
