How amounts are shown
In the same section:
- Show currency symbol: shows the symbol (such as $, € or £) next to amounts.
- Show amount background: puts a coloured background behind amounts, so you can spot at a glance which ones are overspent, have warnings or have money available.
Accounts in other currencies
Each account can have its own currency. Open the account, tap the ⋮ menu and choose Currency. See Basic details.
The app doesn't convert between currencies. When you transfer money between accounts in different currencies, nothing is exchanged automatically, so you'll need to adjust the balances yourself afterwards.
Handling more than one currency
Until automatic conversion is available, you can manage several currencies in one of these ways:
- One budget, manual adjustments: use a classic budget and adjust the account balance after a transfer between currencies.
- One budget per currency: create a separate budget for each currency (see Multiple budgets). Each budget stays accurate in its own currency, with no conversion needed.
Moving money between budgets in different currencies
- Set up an expense category: in the budget you're moving money out of, create a category that represents transfers to the other budget.
- Record the transfer: log the amount you sent as an expense in that category.
- Log the income: in the receiving budget, record the amount you received as income, in that budget's currency after conversion.
Both budgets stay balanced, and every dollar still has a job.
