Now that you’re set up, here’s what to do with your transactions as they come in.

The Transactions page is where you can review, categorize, and customize your transactions.

  • Edit Transaction Name – Rename transactions for clarity. For example, change "125673 - TERMINAL A EMP" to "San Jose Airport Parking".
  • Add a Note – Attach reminders or details to specific transactions.
  • Mark as Reviewed (or Unreviewed) – Keep track of what you’ve already categorized and edited.
  • Categorize Transactions – Organize transactions into their respective categories to keep your budget accurate. (We’ll go over categorization options below.)
  • Filter Transactions – View only what matters most by filtering by review status, date range, amount, or a combination of these.

💡 Pro-tip: You can type directly into the category dropdown menu to quickly find the one you need.

Categorizing Transactions

You have two ways to categorize a transaction - assign it to a single category, or split it across multiple.

Splitting is handy when one purchase covers different spending areas. For example, if your Whole Foods trip covers groceries, a candle, and toothpaste, you can split it - groceries into 🥑 Groceries, the candle into 🛋️ Household Items, and toothpaste into 🧼 Hygiene.
