Household Budget

Know where the money actually goes. A calm household treasurer keeps the ledger, closes each month in minutes, and the live dashboard shows in, out, net, and the categories that matter.

What’s inside

The crew

Plans it follows

  • Audit Recurring SubscriptionsAudit a set of transactions or a vendor list to find every recurring subscription, normalize each to a monthly cost, surface duplicates, price hikes, and zombie/unused services, and produce a prioritized cancel/keep recommendation report.
  • Close the MonthClose out a month of household spending against the project's ledger: sweep the month's entries for category strays and surprises, compute the in/out/net totals and category breakdown, compare against the prior month, and write a short honest month summary with one concrete action for next month.

Actions the crew can take

  • Add expenseRecord spending the moment it happens (amount in ordinary units).
  • Add incomeRecord money coming in.
  • Budget statusThis month's shape: in, out, net, and the biggest categories.
  • Month summarySummarize any month ('YYYY-MM').

Each action is a small script that changes the app’s files, checked by Gezel’s security settings before it runs.
