For those of us with more variable lives, could you make a toggle button that allows the budget rows on the budget page dynamic to be dynamic. In other words, could you set it up so that you don't have to click on every budget category to adjust the budget. I am still shopping around for a budget app that works best for me and I found the way Monarch has their budget page set up is the fastest, simplest to understand, visually clear and obvious and always give me a dynamic up to date snapshot of my spending at the same time so I can adjust my budget as the month progresses. As life throws things at us, I would like to be able to see quickly how best to adjust my budget, like choose to underfund in the current month a bill that is an annual bill. BTW, I am loving the constant flow of improvements. Keep them coming.
Hi @Mags Kretc, thanks for this, and for the kind words.
Two parts of what you describe are already there. To underfund an annual expense this month, open the row and pick "October only": the amount drops for this month and goes back to normal on the 1st. And the budget dialog now shows what each category spent over the last six months with a "Usually $X a month" line, so you can see what to set without guessing.

Seeing spending next to each budget without opening it is the one piece missing, and it's the same ask as this post: https://waypointbudget.featurebase.app/p/monthly-budget-progress-tracking. Upvote that one and you'll get every update there, including when it ships.
