Create a category while adding a transaction

You can also create a category from a transaction. Open a transaction, tap its category at the top, and choose Create Category at the end of the list. The new category gets the same type as the list, expense or income, and is picked for the transaction.

  • To edit a category, tap it in More > Categories, change what you need and save.
  • To delete it, open the category and tap Delete category. Spendee asks whether to delete its transactions or move them to another category.
  • To combine categories, tap Merge categories, select the categories and confirm.

To change the category of a single transaction, see How to change the category of a transaction.
