Notes

Accounts, transactions, buckets and bucket groups can all have searchable notes attached to them. Hover over the thing you’d like to note, then click on the sticky note icon and type away!

By default, Buckets will create compressed backup copies of your budget files at regular intervals. Use the App Settings to pick where you want backups to be saved, or to disable automatic backups.

To restore from a backup open App Settings, click Backups and follow the prompts.
