Built-in Categories
Ranger includes three built-in categories.
Uncategorized
Any transaction that isn’t categorized will automatically go here. You can use this as a temporary holding category or for transactions that don’t fit anywhere else. If it has a positive balance, budgeting a negative amount frees up that money for other categories.
Transfers
Use this for moving money between accounts or handling credit card payments. This keeps transfers from affecting your budget while still tracking where your money goes.
Ready to Budget
This is where paychecks, deposits, interest, and any incoming money goes. From here, you assign those funds to your categories.
