How it works

From your plan to a clearer picture.

Set your routine, bring in your transactions, and see how the month is going.

  1. Set your schedules

    Set amounts and schedules for income sources and expense categories. Turn on automatic entries where useful.

    Example · Your schedules
    Automatic entries October 2026
    Internet
    Next expense planned $64.00 Monthly · 20th

    Planned Tue, Oct 20, 2026

    Automatic entries use the amounts you set; they do not pay bills. Review them when plans change.

  2. Import and review

    Upload a CSV from your bank or card provider. Check dates, amounts, category matches, and duplicate warnings before importing.

    Example · Import transactions
    • Neighborhood market-$76.00
      Category
      Groceries
      Date
      10/12/2026

    • Monthly rent-$1,250.00
      Category
      Rent
      Date
      10/01/2026
      Duplicate expense
    Eligible 2 Warnings 1

    Duplicate warnings flag possible matches by date and amount. Warnings remain eligible; remove rows you don’t want before confirming.

  3. Compare with your plan

    In the Expenses Registry, compare registered expenses with the month’s scheduled amounts, grouped by category.

    Example · Expenses Registry checklist
    Expenses Registry October 2026
    Checklist As of Oct 13

    Registered / Planned

    Groceries 2 entries Partial
    $180.00/$400.00
    Rent 1 entry Complete
    $1,250.00/$1,250.00

    Statuses count entries against scheduled dates. The bars compare registered and planned amounts; neither confirms a bill was paid.
