This page is English only for now.
Problems it solves
- I forget how many subscriptions I pay for.
- I do not know how much of my salary is already spoken for each month.
- Rent, internet and school fees are spread over different dates.
What it is
The Recurring expenses widget lists the payments that repeat on their own: rent, internet, a streaming plan, a gym. For each one it shows the amount and the next date. At the top it shows the total you have committed per month. It is a Premium widget.
What problem it solves
Fixed bills are easy to forget and add up fast. Seeing them together answers a useful question: how much of this month’s money is already spoken for? It also makes it easy to spot a subscription you no longer use.
How it works

- Open Dashboard. Tap Customize, then Add widget and pick Recurring expenses. It needs Premium.
- Read Committed and per month for the total. Below it each series shows its amount and “Next” date.
