Alerts: unusual activity
The app watches your spending and notifies you when something looks unusual — no setup needed. Tap the bell icon on the home screen to see all alerts.
What the app detects
- Possible duplicate charge — the same merchant charged the same amount twice within two days. Worth checking before the money is gone.
- Price increase — a subscription or recurring payment got more than 10% more expensive compared to last time (for example, a streaming service raising its price).
- Looks like a subscription — the same merchant has charged you the same amount three or more times on a regular schedule. The app suggests tracking it in the Subscription Manager: tap the alert to open a pre-filled form.
- Unusual spending — a category is at least 30% above your average for the previous months.
How alerts reach you
- A push notification arrives when an anomaly is found (at most 3 per day, so your phone is never flooded).
- Every alert is also saved in the alerts feed — tap the bell icon on the home screen. Web users see the same feed.
- Tap an alert to open the related expense, mark alerts as read, or dismiss them with the ✕ button.
Settings
You can turn anomaly push notifications on or off in Settings → Notifications → Anomaly alerts. The alerts feed keeps working even when push is off.
Good to know
- Detection works automatically for expenses added by hand, by voice, from receipts, via Telegram/WhatsApp/Slack bots, and from bank imports.
- Each anomaly is reported only once — you won’t get the same alert twice.
- In shared accounts, marking alerts as read affects the whole account; viewers can read the feed but not change it.
