Find Uncategorized Transactions Before They Skew Your Budget

Budgie surfaces missing categories directly inside your filtered transaction list, then opens a focused cleanup view with the same account, date, tag, and type filters.

Why uncategorized transactions quietly break reports

One uncategorized grocery run can make your food budget look better than it is. A few missing categories across income and expenses can distort category charts, month-end reviews, and spending trends.

Budgie turns that cleanup into a visible workflow. When the current filter contains uncategorized transactions, a compact missing-category pill appears above the list with the exact count.

What you get

Filter-aware count for missing categories under the current account, date, tag, and transaction type

One-tap drill-down into only the uncategorized transactions that match your current filters

Category cleanup from the same transaction cards you already use for editing

Indexed local SQLite queries, so the insight stays fast on long transaction histories

Works offline and on-device, with no analytics service reading your financial data

How it works

Open Transactions or an account's transaction list. Apply any filters you need. If Budgie finds matching transactions without categories, the missing-category pill appears above the list. Tap it to open a focused cleanup page that preserves those filters.

From there, edit the transactions, apply your custom categories, accept AI category suggestions, or rely on MCC mapping for bank-synced rows. The goal is simple: every report should explain where your money actually went.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are uncategorized transactions?
They are income or expense transactions without a category. Budgie calls them missing categories in the app because the next action is to assign a category and clean up your reports.
Does the count respect my current filters?
Yes. The pill counts only uncategorized transactions inside the active account, type, date, and tag filters, so the number always matches the list you are reviewing.
Will this slow down my transaction list?
No. Budgie uses an indexed local SQLite query for the count and the drill-down list. Everything runs on-device, without a cloud analytics service.
Can AI categorize the missing transactions?
Yes. You can still use Budgie's on-device AI category suggestions, MCC mapping, or manual categories. The missing-category page simply finds the gaps so you know what to fix.
