Budgie transaction list with a missing categories pill between the filter chips and the rows

Three screens to a clean report

The count above your list, the focused list behind it, and the row you open to fix.

  1. The pill counts what you missed

    It sits above the list and counts only the transactions without a category inside your active account, date, type, tag and amount filters.

  2. Open the list behind the inbox

    The pill opens the Categorize inbox for bulk work. The list button in its header shows only these rows, with your filters carried across.

  3. Fix one, the count drops

    Open a row, set its category, and both this list and the pill behind it update on their own — no reload, no manual refresh.

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.

Tapping the pill opens the Categorize inbox, which groups those transactions by merchant so you can categorize them in bulk with suggestions learned from your own past choices.

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. The count and the drill-down list both run entirely on-device, without a cloud analytics service.

Is there a faster way to fix many of them?

Yes. The pill opens the Categorize inbox, which works without AI: it suggests a category for each merchant group from your own history and can accept every confident suggestion at once. ATM withdrawals get their own Cash withdrawals section, where you can move them to cash instead of categorizing them.
