Auto-Tag Rules

Rules automatically tag transactions during import and sync. Once you create a rule for “Starbucks” transactions, every future coffee purchase is tagged automatically.

The fastest way: tag 3+ similar transactions, then click Save as Rule in the toast notification.

Or press Shift+R on any transaction to create a rule from its pattern.

Simple mode matches against description text:

Starts withAMZN”AMZN MARKETPLACE”, “AMZN DIGITAL”
Ends withautopay”CHASE CARD AUTOPAY”
Exact matchRent”RENT” and nothing else
Regexcoffee|starbucks”COFFEE HOUSE”, “STARBUCKS”

All matches are case-insensitive.

SQL mode gives full control:

description ILIKE '%grocery%' AND amount < -20

Available columns: description, amount, account_name, transaction_date

A rule always tags matching transactions as they arrive from future imports and syncs. Apply to existing transactions additionally tags the matches already in your database — it’s checked by default when you create a rule, and unchecked when you edit one. Existing tags are kept either way.

Open the Rules modal from the Transactions view overflow menu. Rules can be toggled on/off, edited, or deleted. The live preview shows matching transactions as you type.
