How do I create my own categories?

Spendora comes with a set of default categories, but everyone's spending looks a little different. You can add your own — each with its own icon and colour — so your transactions are categorised the way you actually think about them.

Creating a category

  1. Open Spendora and tap More in the bottom-right corner.

  2. Under Preferences, tap Manage Categories.

  3. Tap the add (+) button.

  4. Give the category a name, then use Select Icon and Select Colour to choose how it looks. A sample updates as you go, so you can see the result before saving.

  5. Tap Confirm.

Editing and deleting

The Manage Categories screen lists Default Categories and Custom Categories separately. Tap any of your custom categories to change its name, icon or colour, or to delete it.

A tip before you import

If you are about to bring transactions in from a CSV, set up your categories first. The import matches the category column against category names you already have, so anything that exists in advance is matched automatically instead of needing a choice on the preview screen.
