1. Introduction

CaeliBudget is a workspace-based financial management application.

A *workspace* is the isolated unit that owns your accounts, categories, transactions and tags. A user can belong to multiple workspaces (e.g. *Household*, *Business*), and every membership is bound to a **role**.

This page is used to create a new workspace or update the core settings of an existing one.

Workspace onboarding

This page guides you through the first setup steps of a newly created workspace.

Workspace members

This page manages the list of users who can access the workspace and their roles.

After sign-in your home screen is the **Dashboard**: a consolidated view of your workspace's balances, spending split, budgets, savings goals and most recent transactions.

An *account* represents a concrete money-holding instrument inside a workspace: bank account, cash, credit card, savings, etc. Every transaction is bound to exactly one account (a transfer touches two — source and destination).

Categories let you classify transactions so statistics, budgets, and exports can group them meaningfully.

This page is used to quickly and accurately record a new income, expense, or transfer between accounts.

Import transactions from CSV

7. Planned transactions

A *planned transaction* is a template that either automatically generates **real transactions** at a fixed cadence, or pre-generates **planned occurrences** that you confirm before they are booked.

Planned transaction form

This page is used to define regular income, expense, or transfer rules that either generate transactions automatically or create planned occurrences for your review.

A *budget* defines a cap (or target) for one category over a period of time. CaeliBudget continuously shows where you stand against it.

This page is used to create or edit a budget linked to a category.

14. Savings goals

The Savings Goals module helps you separate money reserved for specific targets from day-to-day spending. Each goal is linked to a dedicated virtual account that sits beneath a savings account.
