Finance — overview

Finance is personal bookkeeping inside Yttri: transactions, assets, liabilities, a payments calendar, budgets, a balance forecast, receivables for delivered work, a net worth report, and automation rules that turn emails and receipts into transactions without typing.

Note

This is bookkeeping, not a payment service: Yttri does not move money or pay bills. Everything here is your own ledger.

The submenu

Group	Items
(pinned at the top)	Overview · Transactions · Calendar
Liabilities	All liabilities · Loans · Subscriptions · Other payments
Assets	All assets · Cards and accounts · Property · Vehicles
Planning	Budgets · Forecast · Owed to me
Analytics	Reports · Automation rules

The gear in the submenu header opens Categories — the reference book of categories and types. It is not one of the listed items.

+ New transaction at the bottom of the submenu works from any screen in the section.

One creation panel

The same slide-out panel is used for transactions and for liabilities — the form inside depends on what you are creating. It opens from the button at the bottom of the submenu, from the add buttons on the screens, and by clicking any existing record in any list.

It closes with the cross, Esc, a click on the backdrop or Cancel. In edit mode a red Delete button appears at the bottom left.

The transaction form — four types switched by tabs: income, expense, transfer, refund.

Field	Required	Note
Type	yes	income / expense / transfer / refund
Amount	yes	greater than zero
Currency	yes	nine fiat codes, rouble by default
Category	no	the list depends on the type; hidden categories are not offered
Date	yes	today by default
Project	no	active ones only; hidden for a transfer
Payment source / From	yes for a transfer	must differ from “To”
To	transfers only	the list excludes the chosen source
Description	no	up to 500 characters

The liability form covers loans, subscriptions, utilities, rent and any custom obligation types: name, type, currency, payment amount (the label changes with the type), payment day, period, counterparty, the account it is charged to, start and end dates. Loans add the total, the outstanding balance and the rate; a credit card adds the limit, the last four digits, the bank, a colour and the grace period.

Caution

The liability type is not filled in from the screen you pressed “Add” on. Create a subscription without picking the “Subscription” type and it lands in Loans or Other payments instead.

The Status field (visible when editing) is “Active”, “Paused” or “Closed”. Pausing and closing stop future scheduled charges while the transactions already made stay in the history: it is the safe alternative to deleting.

The charged account is a reference link. By itself it moves no money: the balance changes only when a real transaction is recorded against the obligation.

The Overview screen

It opens by default and shows the current month: four metrics (balance, income, expenses, savings), a line chart with a “1 month / 3 months” switch, the five latest transactions with a link to the full list, and a card of upcoming subscriptions.

Clicking a row in “Latest transactions” opens the edit panel.

Note

The period switch in the Overview header highlights the chosen button but changes no numbers: the cards and lists always show the current month. For other periods use the Transactions screen and its period selector.

The base currency

Summary figures add up records in the base currency only — the rest are visible in the lists but stay out of the totals. The exception is the Reports screen, where positions are converted into the base currency.

The base currency cannot be changed from the interface in this version: the section has no settings screen, and the value is read from a previously saved setting — the rouble by default.
