# Keep track of your money

Write down what you spent and what came in, and see where your money goes.

Money in Reseek is a record that you keep. Reseek is not connected to your bank and cannot pay anyone or move real money.

## Add an account

An account is any place you keep money: a bank account, a card, or cash in your wallet.

1. Open **Money**.
2. Choose **Add account**.
3. Enter a **Name**, such as "Main bank" or "Cash".
4. Choose the **Currency**.
5. Enter the **Starting balance**. This is what you have now, before you record anything. Leave it at zero if you do not know.

## Record a transaction

1. Open **Money** and choose **New transaction**.
2. Under **What happened?**, pick one:
   - **Spent money**
   - **Received money**
   - **Moved money between accounts**
   - **Got a purchase refund**
   - **Lent** or **Borrowed**. See [Lent and borrowed money](/docs/money-owed).
3. Describe it in a few words, for example "Groceries".
4. Enter the amount and choose the account.
5. Check the **Date**. It starts as today.
6. Choose **Save transaction**.

**Tags** are optional. If you leave them empty, Reseek adds fitting tags for you. You can change them later.

## Refunds

Pick **Got a purchase refund**. You can link the refund to the purchase under **Original expense (optional)**, or skip that and just describe it.

## See where your money goes

The **Overview** at the top of Money shows:

- **Income**, **Spent** and the **Difference** between them.
- A chart of money in and out.
- **Spending by tag**. A payment with two tags is counted under both tags. The Spent total counts it once.

Choose the time period with one tap: **Last 7 days**, **Last 30 days**, **This month**, **Last month**, **This year** or **All time**.

## More than one currency

If you use more than one currency, the Overview adds them together in the currency you choose. This total is an estimate that uses current exchange rates. Your accounts and transactions keep their own amounts and currencies.

## Find a transaction

- Type in **Search transactions** to match words in the description.
- Use the quick filters above the list to see one kind of entry.
- Choose **Filters** for account, currency, dates, tag, amount and sort order.

For questions such as "How much did I spend on food last month?", use [Ask AI](/docs/ask-ai).

## Fix a mistake

- Open the transaction and choose **Edit** to change it.
- Choose **Void transaction** to cancel it. Your balance goes back to what it was, and the entry stays in your history.
- Choose **View history** to see earlier versions.
