Moni Budget is organized around a simple workflow: add accounts, record transactions, categorize activity, then use budgets, reports, and goals to decide what to do next.
Main areas
- Dashboard gives you a quick read on balances and recent activity.
- Accounts hold the balances you want to track.
- Transactions are the income, expenses, and transfers that explain balance changes.
- Budget turns category spending into a monthly plan.
- Reports show trends across periods.
Recommended first session
- Create the accounts you want to track.
- Import or add a small set of recent transactions.
- Confirm categories and rules for repeated vendors.
- Add one budget category and one savings goal.
Keep it small at first
You do not need a perfect historical archive before Moni Budget becomes useful. Start with the accounts and transactions that affect your next monthly plan.
