Why Automation Matters for ADHD

Executive dysfunction makes manual categorization impossible. You buy coffee, forget to categorize it, and suddenly your budget is off by hundreds of dollars.

Create a rule once — "Starbucks goes to Coffee" — and it runs forever. Every future Starbucks purchase automatically lands in the right slice, and the Rules page even suggests rules from merchants you haven't sorted yet.

The best part? Rules work retroactively. Create a rule today and it can categorize months of past transactions instantly. Your messy transaction history becomes organized in seconds.
