Introducing Tags: Know Where Every Vacation Dollar Went

The problem with categories alone

Say you just got back from a week in the Smokey Mountains. The hotel bill landed in Travel, gas went to Auto, dinners scattered across Dining, and Dollywood tickets ended up in Entertainment. Add it all up manually? No thanks.

Tags let you mark every one of those transactions Vacation Smokey Mountains 2026 — regardless of category — and see the complete trip cost without touching a spreadsheet.

What you get

Your tags, at a glance

The Tags page gives you a complete overview of every tag you've created. Each tag displays its name, color indicator, optional description, and the total number of transactions tagged. From there, you can:

• Click to open analytics — see total spend, transaction count, date range, and a category breakdown pie chart for that tag
• Filter by tag instantly — jump to the Transactions view with only that tag's rows visible
• Edit or delete — modify the tag's name, color, or description, or remove it entirely when the project is done
• See the color at a glance — each tag has its own color badge, so you know which trips and goals you're looking at instantly

Tag any transaction in seconds

In the Transactions view, a small tag icon appears on the left side of every transaction row. Click it to open a popover where you can:

• Attach one or more tags — a single transaction can belong to multiple tags. Tag your flight under both "Vacation Smokey Mountains 2026" and "Flights"
• Remove tags later — trip's over and you want to clean up? Open the tag popover again and uncheck any tags
• See which tags are applied — each row shows the colored tag dots for any tags you've attached, so you know at a glance what trips or goals a transaction belongs to
• Filter by tag instantly — click a tag badge in any row and the view filters down to show only transactions with that tag

This means whether your vacation expenses hit your account all at once or trickle in over a few weeks, you can tag them all instantly and have the complete picture waiting for you on the Tags page.
