Balance Accounts & Transfers

I'd love to see support for multiple balance accounts. This is one feature that would likely convince me to continue using Waypoint long-term and upgrade to a paid plan. Balance Accounts I'd like to be able to create balance accounts (or "buckets") such as: Cash Cash App Chase Checking SoFi Savings Each account would have its own balance, and I could manually add or remove money from it. When recording a transaction, I could simply choose which account the money is coming from or going to, and the balance would update automatically. Account Types When creating an account, it would be helpful to choose an account type, such as: Checking Savings Investment Cash This would open the door to additional features. For example, if I have a Savings account, I could create a transaction and automatically send a percentage (such as 10%) into that savings account. A dedicated Transfer transaction type would also be useful for moving money between accounts. Bank Connections I know this adds complexity with bank syncing, but one possible approach would be allowing a balance account to optionally link to a connected bank account (for example, Chase or SoFi). If linked, the account's balance and transactions could sync automatically. If not linked, it would simply function as a manual account. Home Screen It would also be great to display a Total Balance on the home screen that adds together the balances of selected accounts. To make this flexible, each account could have a toggle such as "Include in Total Balance." That way users could exclude accounts they don't want counted, such as investment accounts or certain savings goals. One Thought I realize this overlaps somewhat with the current Allocations feature. Personally, I think balance accounts would be more intuitive and provide a stronger foundation for future features. If the two concepts overlap too much, I'd even consider replacing Allocations with this system, though that's ultimately up to your vision for the app. Thanks for taking the time to read this! I'd love to hear your thoughts, and I'm happy to answer any questions or provide more details if it would help.

Goals: Support Future-Dated Debt Repayment Start Dates

Many financial obligations exist before repayments actually begin, but Waypoint currently treats debt goals as either “active” or “not tracked.” Examples include: Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP) repayment grace periods Student loans during grace periods Deferred loan repayments Mortgage payment deferrals Other obligations with scheduled future repayment dates For example, HBP withdrawals made between 2022 and 2028 benefit from a five-year repayment grace period. The debt exists today and should be visible within a financial plan, but repayments are not yet required. Currently, users must either: Add the debt as a goal and see no progress or inaccurate projections, or Exclude it entirely and lose visibility of the future obligation. A potential solution would be adding a “Repayments Start Date” field for debt payoff goals. Until that date: The balance remains visible. The debt contributes to a complete financial picture. Progress calculations and payoff projections begin only when repayment starts. This could also improve mortgage tracking, particularly when future payment changes occur after renewal or refinancing. The benefit extends beyond HBP users and would support anyone managing debts or obligations that exist today but become active at a future date.

Cover overspending by shifting allocated money

Similar to the feature you added to allow you to allocate money to an unbudgeted category from the Home Screen it would be great if there was an option to make it easier to shift money allocated from one category to another in the case of overspending or in general. For example, my subscriptions category just went into over spending $8.60 and unless I’m missing something I need to go back to the budget section to remove $8.60 from another category doing the math to figure out what that is since I can’t just say remove this amount and then I need to go to the subscriptions category and add 8.60 to that amount. It would be much easier if I could just say I want tocover this budget short fall by moving available money from and select another category.
