  • DateTime (optional, = when the transaction happened)
  • Due DateTime (optional, = when the transaction is planned for)

Account

An accounts stores transactions that represent its balance. A good example would be your Bank account where you store your money and can see all transactions that you've made. Each account has currency (which you choose) and all transactions in that account will have the same currency.

Features:

  • Name (required)
  • Currency (required, = USD, EUR, GBP, etc & supports cryptocurrencies BTC, ETH, ADA, etc as well)

BALANCE = INCOME - EXPENSES + TRANSFERS IN - TRANSFERS OUT

  • Order Num _(optional, = for reordering your accounts)

!Note:

  • When you change the account's currency all transactions in this account will have the new currency but their amount will remain the same.
  • Example: Acc with 10 USD balance -> change the currency to EUR => The acc will have 10 EUR balance.

Category

Categories help you to organize your transactions. This way you can track for example how much you spend on Groceries, Bills, Fun, and whatever categories you decide to create. It's up to your imagination!

Features:

  • Name (required)
