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.

Three screens to a clean report

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

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.

The Missing categories screen opens with only those rows, carrying your account, date, type and tag filters across.

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

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.
