Entries are records of financial transactions: an expense, an income, a transfer. Each entry has an amount, a date and descriptions — and it can be split across several categories while remaining a single entry.
The anatomy of an entry
| Field | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Amount | The entry total. When it is split across categories, this is the total being divided — the parts always add back up to it. |
| Date | Decides which month the entry shows up in on the main screen, and which period it counts toward in totals and budgets. |
| Descriptions | There are several, not one. The app adds a fresh blank field as soon as you fill the last one, so you can separate "what", "where" and "for whom" into distinct lines — and every line is searchable. |
| Category | Where the entry is accounted for. One entry can point to more than one (see splitting, below). |
| Marker | A tag that cuts across categories, with a field of its own in the editor. If you don't set one, the app derives it automatically from the first word of the first description. |
| Currency | An entry in a currency other than your main one shows the conversion calculation right under the amount, using the rate in effect on the given date. |
Splitting an entry across categories
A supermarket run that also brought cleaning supplies and dog food doesn't need to become three entries. On the edit screen you add one share per category and distribute the total between them — by amount, by percentage or by dragging the slider. When you change one share, the others readjust so the sum keeps matching the total.
Split entries stay a single line when you reconcile against the bank statement, yet count correctly in each category. Duplicating the same expense into three entries inflates the total and breaks reconciliation.
Finding entries later
The app's search (Menu › Search) combines filters instead of demanding the exact word: text, date range, minimum and maximum amount, marker, a second text the description must also contain and — perhaps the most useful — a text the description must not contain. That is how you answer "how much did I spend at the pharmacy, not counting that surgery month".
Global search goes beyond entries: it merges entries and annotations into a single list ordered by date, so a planned pre-transaction shows up next to the matching real expense.
Bulk operations
- Move from Category — filters entries of a source category by text and dates and moves the selected ones to another category in one go.
- Remove Entries — same filtering logic, but for deletion. It removes the entry and all of its category shares.
- Manage Markers — creates, changes or removes markers across whole blocks of filtered entries.
If an entry belongs to a category that arrived through a read-only share, editing is blocked — including the split across categories. The share's owner remains the source of truth for that data.
