How do I...

Record money moving#

• Add something I just spent
• Add something coming up later
• Add a bill that repeats every month
• Move money between my own accounts
• Split one purchase across categories
• Record a buy now, pay later plan
• Find my bills in a bank statement

Change or remove something#

• Edit one occurrence without changing the whole rule
• Change a bill's amount from now on
• Change the day of the month a bill falls on
• Skip one month of a repeating bill
• Stop a subscription without losing its history
• Change lots of transactions at once
• Pay off a BNPL plan early

Keep it matching reality#

• Mark scheduled things as actually paid
• Fix a balance that disagrees with my statement
• Fix a misspelled payee everywhere
• Understand why the app and my bank show different numbers
• Find transactions from before this month
• See why a row is grayed out and can't be selected

Plan ahead#

• See what is left before my next paycheck
• Find out when I can afford something
• Test a decision without changing anything
• Compare two options side by side
• See what a purchase does to a goal or a budget
• Save for something without spending it by accident
• Decide what happens to a goal that has finished
• Skip a month's contribution to a goal
• Put in a different amount than the goal schedule says
• Work out whether to pay the highest rate or the smallest balance first
• See what an extra payment on a debt buys me

Budget#

• Budget a category
• Change my budget to match a biweekly paycheck
• Carry unspent money into next period
• Budget by percentages of income
• Track a category without committing to a number
• Work out why I can't edit a budget
• Start a new budget period early

Understand a number#

• Work out what Set aside contains
• See why runway says 12 months above a 30-day chart
• Understand why transfers don't count as spending
• Read the fainter bars on the reports charts
• Tell the two monthly recurring figures apart
• Find out what a safety floor is for

Look after the account#

• See when my trial ends
• Download a backup before my access goes read-only
• Cancel my subscription
• Update the card on my subscription
• Take a backup
• Get my transactions into a spreadsheet
• Put a backup back
• Turn on email alerts
• Set up two-factor authentication
• Switch between light and dark
• Put the app on my phone's home screen
• Close an account I no longer use
• Clear everything and start again
• Send feedback or report a bug

Send feedback or report a bug#

Every page has a Feedback button in the footer. It opens a small form inside the app: what happened or what would help, and an optional screenshot you choose from your device (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 5 MB).

Sending mails it to support@forecastcommander.com with the page you were on, the email on your account and the app version. The screenshot travels with the mail and isn't stored in the app.

You can send a few messages an hour. If you hit the limit, email support@forecastcommander.com directly. That's also how to contact support about anything else: there's no ticket queue, and a person reads it.
