Reports and the forecast

The forecast on the home screen

"Money left for N days" is your available money divided by your average spending. Money in goals is left out: it is already committed.

The forecast becomes honest after about a month of records; before that it is standing on too little history.

Charts

The shape of your spending by category, and the trend month by month. This answers "what does it go on", which is a different question from "how much did I spend".

Calendar

The month as a grid, with each day's total. The fastest way to see which days stand out and remember why.

Yearly report

Twelve months in one table: income, spending, the difference. Seasonal patterns show up here that are invisible inside a single month.

Transactions

The full list, filtered by account, category and period. This is also where mistakes get corrected.

The monthly budget

If a monthly budget is set, the home screen shows how much is spent, how much is left, and whether you are keeping to the pace. The budget is set in settings, or on the first step when you sign up.
