Everyday use
Can I track more than one wallet?

How do recurring expenses work?
Mark an expense as recurring and choose how often it repeats. SpendCast adds each new entry for you and shows the next one under Upcoming.
What if I don't know the exact amount?
Enter your best estimate and mark it as approximate. It still counts towards your budget and is flagged in the list.
Can I change the currency?
Yes. Pick your currency in Settings. It applies everywhere in the app.
How do budgets work?
Set a monthly limit for a category and the app shows how much is left. The bar turns amber as you get close and red once you pass it.
