to another.

Then delete it.
Remove transactions after explicit confirmation. The transaction list and account balances refresh afterwards.
Find transactions.
Spot receipts.
Filter your ledger to show transactions with receipts. A dedicated icon marks existing receipts directly in each transaction row, alongside the notes icon where applicable.
Choose actions.
Set them per profile.
Allow or disable creating, editing, and deleting transactions separately for each saved profile. These settings control actions within the app; your Nextcloud permissions still apply.
Recognize icons.
Make room.
Categories display icons supplied by your Budget API. Header actions use a second row on iPhone, compact icons on iPad, and descriptive labels on Mac.
If your Budget API does not include receipt status in the transaction list, the app checks receipts through an additional request. It temporarily caches the result and flags failed lookups.

Can I attach PDF receipts to a payment?
In the current development version, photographed and cropped receipts are prepared as searchable PDFs. The receipt is attached to the transaction when you save. A separate PDF export is also part of these additions. Available features depend on your installed app version.

How far ahead can I see upcoming payments?

Can I restrict transaction actions per profile?
Yes. Allow or disable creating, editing, and deleting separately for each saved profile. These settings affect actions within the app and do not change permissions on your Nextcloud server.
