Smart Categorization: Teach It Once, Never Sort Again
Categorizing transactions is the chore that quietly kills budgets. The app’s smart automation does the boring part for you, so your numbers stay organized without the busywork.
Three kinds of smart
- AI auto-categorization — new transactions get sorted into the right categories on their own.
- Category rules — teach it once (‘Shell = Gas’) and it remembers forever.
- Recurring bill detection — it spots repeating charges and offers to track them for you.
The best system is the one that runs itself. Do the setup once and let the app carry it.
It gets smarter as you go
Every correction you make teaches it. Fix a miscategorized charge once and the rule sticks, so next month it’s already right. Over a few weeks the app learns your spending and the sorting all but disappears.
That’s the whole idea behind the automation: less time managing the tool, more time actually ahead of your money.
