Field notes
The app uses a payday-to-payday cycle and treats promised goal transfers as unavailable money, rather than relying only on a bank balance. Its affordability check updates while an amount is typed and can express the cost of a purchase in the remaining daily budget. Manual balance checks become categorized ledger entries, while investment balances are excluded from spendable funds.
