Row Types

manual_account Adds an account to My Accounts in Banking

manual_account,<name>,<type>,<balance>

<name> required Display name for the account

<type> required Account type: Savings, Checkings, Cash, Investment, or Other

<balance> required Current balance. Any real number; stored to two decimal places

expense Adds a recurring expense

expense,<name>,<amount>,<due_date>,<frequency>,<unit>,<_category>,<_end_date>

<name> required Display name for the expense

<amount> required Amount due each occurrence. Any real number; stored to two decimal places

<due_date> required Next due date: YYYY-MM-DD. Tracking starts here, so the expense isn't counted in any period before this date. A past date is fine: earlier payments are treated as already made, so nothing is deducted and it moves to the next upcoming due date

<frequency> required How many units between occurrences e.g. 2 for every two weeks

<unit> required Unit of recurrence: day, week, month, or year

<_category> optional Spending category: e.g. Housing, Food, Entertainment. Defaults to Other if omitted

<_end_date> optional Last date the expense can occur: YYYY-MM-DD. A payment on this date still counts. Omit for an expense with no end. To set it without a category, leave the category blank: ...,month,,2028-12-10

credit Adds a credit card entry

credit,<name>,<balance>,<credit_limit>,<due_date>

<name> required Display name for the card

<balance> required Current balance owed. Any real number; stored to two decimal places

<credit_limit> required Total credit limit. Must be greater than zero

<due_date> required Next payment due date: YYYY-MM-DD. A past date moves to the next upcoming due date; the balance is kept as what's currently owed

income_stream Adds an income stream

income_stream,<name>,<amount>,<start_date>,<frequency>,<unit>

<name> required Display name for the income source

<amount> required Pay amount per period. Any real number; stored to two decimal places

<start_date> required First or most recent pay date: YYYY-MM-DD

<frequency> required How many units between paychecks: e.g. 2 for biweekly
