AutoBudget User Guide

AutoBudget turns your bank and e-wallet payment notifications into an automatic, categorized spending log — no manual entry, fully offline. Your data never leaves your phone.

Contents

  1. Getting started — install, first-run consent, notification access, choosing banks
  2. Home — monthly snapshot, review queue, recent activity
  3. Transactions — the activity list, filters, search, manual add, delete/hide
  4. Transaction detail — edit, itemization, attachments, receipt photos, location
  5. Review queue — notifications the app couldn't read
  6. Budgets — monthly limits per category
  7. Reports — spending by category and 6-month trend
  8. Security & privacy — app lock, PIN, biometric, where your data lives
  9. Settings — currency, exchange rates, appearance, tracked bank apps, parse rules, keywords, export/import
  10. Troubleshooting — common problems and fixes
