Week 3: Category Groups and Budgets

Categories now group into Food, Transportation, Entertainment, and more. Budgets let you plan your money, not just track it.

330 users by the end of Week 3. Categories got a proper hierarchy with groups like Food & Drinks, Transportation, and Entertainment. We shipped budgets. Pick how you earn, allocate across categories, and watch actuals fill in from your transactions. This turns Cash Captain from a tracker into a planner.

v0.5.1
New

Monthly budget

Set up a monthly budget with income tracking and expense allocation by category. Choose received mode (budget what's actually hit your account) or expected mode (budget a fixed amount upfront). Actuals update from your transactions. Works on mobile too.

New

Category groups

Categories organize into groups like Food & Drinks, Transportation, and Entertainment, each with subcategories so spending is easier to break down.

Improved

Grouped category picker

When logging a transaction, categories show grouped by their parent. Income and expense categories stay separated so you can't pick the wrong type.

New

Simple or detailed setup

New users pick between a Simple or Detailed template when setting up. No more flat list of random categories.

Improved

Apple home screen icon

Cash Captain looks right when saved to your iOS home screen.
