Formatting options for transaction lists

I am new with this app and very excited with its possibilities. My initial intention is to use Budget Flow to get a sense of my spending habits using past data. So I proceeded to import the data of my credit card past transactions straight from a .csv file. The first thing I noticed is that, despite the ability to list transactions using different criteria, the format for each item is the same: “Category” followed by “Account name”, as seen in the picture. It would make much more sense to use “Payee” (which I link to “Description” in my csv file) followed by “Category” underneath. The way it is formatted now by default shows the “Category” as the primary data (which is relevant but not as much as the actual description of the charge for each individual item) followed by “Account name” (which is absolutely irrelevant in each item as long as I am operating within one account). Is there anyway to change this? It’s nice to be able to change colors and icons but one would think there are more critical aspects to keep in mind when it comes to configuring the way data is presented.

Improvements for Shortcuts Actions

Provide actions that return lists of categories, accounts, tags, and other relevant metadata. Allow the “Create Transaction” action’s Type to accept variables instead of requiring manual selection. I use a Shortcut to help me log expenses automatically, triggered by SMS automation, OCR-based text recognition from screenshots, or GPT-powered image and text analysis. Sometimes, I can determine the category automatically, but other times I can’t. Right now, I set the category as a variable and manually adjust it later. If there were an action that returned a list of categories, I could select one when the category isn’t automatically determined (of course, I could manually create a list, but that’s less convenient). Additionally, since the type field in the “Create Transaction” action doesn’t support variables, I have to use an if condition to create two separate “Create Transaction” actions instead of handling everything within one action. Allowing variables in the type field would make the process much more seamless.

To improve foreign currency transaction handling

Hi, I’ve been using your budget app, and I find it really useful! I wanted to suggest a feature that could improve the management of expenses in foreign currencies. It would be helpful to record transactions including the currency code in which they were made. For example, when paying by credit card in a country that uses a different currency than usual. The idea is to allow users to enter two amounts: • Original amount, in the transaction’s currency • Local currency equivalent, manually entered by the user This way, travelers or those making purchases in different currencies could have a clearer overview of their expenses without needing external conversions. I hope this can be a valuable suggestion to enhance the app! Thanks for your work, and congratulations on a great tool. Best regard, Mauro
