Category auto-suggestion
This translation was produced automatically and hasn't been reviewed yet.
In simple terms: the app suggests a category (tag) for a new transaction based on its description—without artificial intelligence, only using your rules and your history. Nothing is sent to external services.
The main points in a nutshell
- When you enter a description for a new transaction, a suggestion might appear under the field: "Suggested category: + Name". Click on it—the tag will be added to the transaction. If you don't want it, click the cross, and the suggestion will disappear.
- The suggestion is deterministic: it comes from (1) your rules like "always categorize this as…", (2) your history—if you've often marked similar transactions with the same tag, and (3) a small built-in directory of known merchants (e.g., "Walmart" → "Groceries"), but only if you already have such a tag.
- This works both in the web version and in the mobile app—the chip suggestion appears in the transaction form.
- If you create a transaction without a single tag (e.g., via integration/API), the app may assign a tag itself when it's confident (based on a rule or consistent history). Tags you explicitly select are never overwritten.
How a "confident" suggestion differs from a "guess"
- Rule / History — solid colored chip: the app is confident. Such a tag can be assigned automatically.
- Known Merchant — dashed chip: this is a guess-suggestion. It is never assigned automatically—only upon your click.
How to "teach" the app
The category selection becomes more accurate over time: the more often you mark similar transactions with the same tag, the more reliable the history becomes. A "always do this" rule is created from a suggestion/settings and instantly starts working for the same description.
