Savings goals

Save toward targets with contributions, withdrawals, and progress tracking.

Savings goals help you track money set aside for something specific — an emergency fund, vacation, or new laptop. Progress shows on the Dashboard, a dedicated Goals screen, and in Reports.

Requirements

Full savings goal features need cloud sync:

  1. Sign in
  2. Turn on Cloud sync under Settings → Account

Without sync, goal options may be limited or hidden.

Withdraw from a goal

If you spend saved money:

  1. Open the goal
  2. Choose Withdraw
  3. Enter amount — this creates an expense-style entry and lowers goal progress

Recurring contributions

You can schedule automatic contributions:

  1. Settings → Money → Scheduled entries

  3. Pick frequency (weekly, monthly, etc.)

See Scheduled entries.

Progress and history

Each goal shows:

  • Percent complete toward the target
  • Amount saved and amount remaining
  • Contribution history — past adds and withdrawals

The Dashboard summarizes all active goals.

Shared goals in a household

In a household, goals may support Shared visibility so partners see progress. Set visibility when creating or editing the goal if the option appears.

Reports

Open Reports → Goals for period-based contribution totals and per-goal stats. See Goals report.

Delete a goal

  1. Open the goal settings
  2. Delete or archive — confirm when prompted

Past contribution transactions may remain in history unless you remove them separately.
