Hide category balance

Available onAndroidiOSWeb

Hiding a category's balance takes the amount out of sight. If seeing money in a category tempts you to spend it, hide it and keep your attention on what you've planned instead of what's left.

Example: you've saved $500 for a weekend away next month, but every time you see that $500 you're tempted to dip into it. Hide the category's balance and it stops catching your eye, which makes it easier to leave the money where it belongs.

Hide a balance​

  1. On the Budget tab, tap the category.
  2. Tap the gear icon at the top of the category sheet to open Category details.
  3. Tap the eye icon (Hide) in the top bar. It changes to a crossed-out eye.

To show the balance again, tap the icon once more.

What changes​

  • Wherever the category's available amount would appear (the Budget tab, the category sheet and Category details), you see a crossed-out eye instead of the number.
  • The line under the category name (allocated or spent amount) is hidden on the Budget tab.
  • The category itself keeps working as normal: you can still allocate to it and record transactions in it. Hiding only affects what you see.
