Resolve downloaded activity that still needs a decision.

Customize

Shape Categories, accounts, schedules, and Workspaces.

Spending Plan + Funding

Plan before the money arrives. Fund after it does.

A Spending Plan describes what you want future income to do. Funding turns that intention into category balances only when real money is ready to assign.

Plan + Fund

Turn expected income into money you can use

Plan the month first, then fund each category as income arrives.

Accounts + Transactions

Follow what actually happened.

A budget stays useful when real account activity is part of it. Record transactions manually or review downloaded activity without giving up control of the final record.

Transactions

Review recent activity

Downloaded items stay visible until every detail looks right.

Credit + Debt

See the payment consequence when you spend.

A funded credit-card purchase reduces the original spending category and makes the covered amount available in Credit Card Payments. You keep the category context without losing sight of what the card needs next.

  • Amount ready to pay updates with covered card spending
  • Partial coverage stays explicit when a category is underfunded
  • Funding the category later updates payment availability
  • Payments remain transfers; liability payments keep their own workflow

Recurring Money

Give predictable money a place in the timeline.

Income Schedules, Recurring Transactions, and Upcoming Transactions make the next period visible before it arrives. The schedule remains editable without turning every generated transaction into a separate chore.

Organization

Build the structure your household will keep using.

Start with practical categories, then make the Workspace reflect the way you plan, shop, and review.

Categories

Create groups, reorder priorities, hide what is not active, and reuse templates.

Activity

Organize accounts, manage and merge payees, and add tags that make transactions easier to find.

Workspace

Choose the budgeting rhythm and currency-aware display. Additional Workspaces follow plan limits.

Reports + History

Understand the totals by following the decisions behind them.

Reports use the same categories and transactions you work with every day. Move from a spending trend to the account or category activity that explains it.
