Description

Set monthly budgets per category and see actual vs target. Predict month-end spending based on current pace.

Why later: v0.1 just tracks history. Budgeting on top of that is a separate UX problem.

Rough scope:

  • Budget target per line item per period
  • 'You've spent 60% of your dining budget with 12 days left' alerts
  • Pace-based forecasting

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the current v0.1 history tracking represents spending by category and period. Define the budget-target, alert, and pace-based forecasting behavior before locating the affected entry points. Done should cover monthly targets, actual-versus-target views, remaining-time alerts, and month-end predictions.
