Field notes
The homepage describes a ledger-style workflow: enter a starting balance, record transactions, and schedule recurring or expected items for a forward-looking balance view. It says data remains in a single local file, with seven daily backups and options to export, import, or erase it. For phone access, the site describes connecting a personal Supabase project and pairing a device with a six-digit code.
