Track spending day by day with Cashvelope's calendar

The monthly report shows the big picture. The transaction list shows every entry. The calendar sits between them: it shows your spending organized by day, in the familiar shape of a month, so you can immediately see which days were heavy and which were light — without reading a list or interpreting a chart.

What the calendar shows

Tap Calendar in the bottom navigation. You see the current month laid out as a standard calendar grid. On any day where you logged transactions, the total spending amount appears directly on that date cell.

In this example, April 6 shows -$150 and April 3 shows -$25. Every other date is empty — no spending logged on those days. The pattern is visible at a glance.

Tapping a day to see its transactions

Tap any date with spending and the transactions from that day appear in a list below the calendar. In the example above, April 6 breaks down into:

• Groceries — $100
• Dining — $25
• Breakfast — $25

This is the fastest way to investigate a specific day. If the monthly report shows that a particular week was unusually expensive, tap each day in that week to find which transaction drove the number.

Adding a transaction from the calendar

The + button in the bottom center works the same from the calendar as from any other screen. If you tap a date first and then tap +, the Add Transaction screen opens with that date pre-selected — useful when you are logging something that happened yesterday or earlier in the week.

Navigating between months

Use the arrows at the top of the calendar to move backward or forward by month. Older months show the same layout: amounts on the days you spent, transactions when you tap a date. This makes the calendar useful for looking back — not just tracking the current month but understanding patterns from past months.

Calendar vs Report vs Home

These three views answer different questions:

• Home — what is my current balance and what did I spend recently?
• Calendar — what did I spend on a specific day, and which days were the heaviest?
• Report — how did the whole month look, week by week?

The calendar is the most useful view when you remember roughly when you spent something but cannot find the exact transaction. Open the month, look for the day, tap it — the transaction is there.
