Recurring Transactions

Recurring transactions are templates that generate real transactions on a schedule — useful for regular bills, subscriptions, paychecks, and loan payments.

How recurring works

When a recurring transaction is due, it appears highlighted in the Recurring list. You click Apply Due to create actual transactions from all due items at once. This keeps you in control — nothing is created automatically without your confirmation.


Creating a recurring transaction

Click Add Recurring and fill in:

Field Notes
Type Expense, Income, Credit, Transfer, or Debt Payment
Frequency Daily, Weekly, Biweekly, Monthly, or Yearly
Start Date When the first instance is due
End Date Optional — leave blank for indefinite
Account Source account
Amount Fixed amount for each occurrence
Payee Optional
Category Which budget category to charge (or split across multiple)
Memo Optional note

Transfer recurrings

Choose Transfer as the type, then select the source and destination accounts. No category is needed for transfers.

Debt payment recurrings

Choose Debt Payment, then fill in the breakdown (principal, interest, fees). The linked loan account’s balance reduces by the principal amount each time the recurring is applied.


Applying due transactions

On the Recurring page, transactions past their due date are shown with a highlighted Due badge. Click Apply Due to generate real transactions for all of them at once.

After applying, the next due date advances automatically based on the frequency.


Editing a recurring

Click the ⋯ menu on any recurring row and select Edit. Changes apply to future occurrences only — past transactions that have already been created are not affected.

The Start Date cannot be changed after creation.


Deleting a recurring

Click the ⋯ menu and select Delete. This removes the recurring template only — transactions already created from it remain in your history.
