Usage

From scratch:

  1. Visit guitos.app
  2. Create a new budget and name it according to your preferred budget period
    • ideally in one of the following formats: YYYY-MM or YYYY-WN
  3. Input your revenue for the respective period (salary, sales, etc.)
  4. Fill in the expenses (groceries, electricity, etc.)
  5. Change the savings goal to your preference
  6. Update the reserves field with the current value of your emergency fund / cash

Keyboard shortcuts can be triggered when no input field is selected.
