Main view manual

Every control on the dashboard — logging, input options, list vs calendar, and the summary card.

The dashboard at a glance

  • Period banner — shows the current budget cycle; use the chevrons to step between periods or tap the month to jump straight to one.
  • Income / Expense summary — live totals for the period. Tap either chip to open the budget view: Income jumps to its income breakdown, Spent to its spending breakdown.
  • Summary card — your hero card: how much you’ve spent of the regular envelope, the progress bar, days remaining, and the suggested daily spend. Swipe it sideways to flip between the Regular and Recurring envelopes; tap it to open the full budget view.
  • Needs Review — integration alerts land in the ledger automatically, but the rare one the AI can’t confidently parse or categorize waits here instead. Tap it to assign a category and move it into the ledger.
  • Transaction ledger — all transactions for the period. Tap a row to edit, swipe left to delete.
  • + button — opens the add-transaction sheet.
The full dashboard: period banner, income/expense summary, the summary card, and the day-grouped ledger.

Logging manually

Tap + and fill in the fields. Here’s what each input means:

Input What it does
Expense / Income / Transfer The transaction type. Expenses count against your budget; income adds to your totals; transfers move money between your own accounts and are excluded from both — so shuffling savings around never skews your numbers.
Amount What was spent or received.
Merchant Who you paid (or who paid you).
Category Where it counts — picked from your own category list via the bottom-sheet grid.
Recurring toggle Marks a fixed bill. It counts against your recurring envelope instead of everyday spending, keeping your regular numbers honest.
Card / Cash Payment method, for your own tracking.
Tags Freeform #tags for cross-category tracking — see Tips & tricks.
Note & Date Optional context, and when it happened.

Editing and deleting

  • Edit — tap any transaction in the ledger, change what you need, tap Update Transaction.
  • Delete — swipe left on a row and confirm. This can’t be undone, which is exactly why there’s a confirmation.

List vs calendar view

The ledger has two layouts, toggled at the top of the dashboard:

  • List — transactions grouped by day, newest first. Best for reviewing and editing.
  • Calendar — a month grid with daily totals. Best for spotting patterns (“what happens every Friday?”) — tap a day to see its transactions.
The dashboard in calendar view — a month grid with per-day spend totals.
