We've gone the extra mile, maybe 5 miles, to offer unmatched personalization—colors, shapes, progress bars, item height, icons, and more. And yes, you can even swap icons for your favorite emojis!

If you find that the default set of icons in the app doesn't fully meet your needs, you have the option to remove icons entirely and use emojis instead. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Access the Customize Interface Menu:

    • Tap on the three-dot menu at the top right of your screen.

    • Select Customize interface from the dropdown menu.

  2. Hide Icons:

    • In the Icon style section, choose the Hide icons option. This will remove all icons from the categories, giving you a clean and minimal design.

  3. Use Emojis in Category Names:

    • Go to the Budget tab where your categories are listed.

    • Tap on the category you want to customize, then edit the category name.

    • Insert your desired emoji at the beginning of the category name to add a personal touch. For example, instead of "Rent/Mortgage," you could rename it to "🏠 Rent/Mortgage."

  4. Save Your Changes:

    • After you've added emojis to your category names, save your changes.

    • Your budget categories will now display with the emojis you selected, making them visually distinct and personalized.


If you decide to stick with icons, we've also got you covered! As you enter or change a category name, our AI will automatically match it with the best icon from our set. It will work in any language.

Benefits of Using Emojis:

  • Personalization: Customize your budget with symbols that are meaningful to you.

  • Clarity: Quickly identify categories at a glance with familiar emojis.

  • Flexibility: Choose from a wide variety of emojis that suit your style and needs.

This approach allows you to fully personalize your budgeting experience, ensuring that each category resonates with your unique preferences.
