Calendar

Please add tags and tasks to each day. Google's calendar for example; when you set a multi-day event, there is a visible bar across the top as an easy identifier of that days events. I work a rotational 8 days on and 6 days off schedule. I set the "repeat" function to every other week on the day that I start and finish work. On my days off I pursue other avenues of generating income. This allows me to determine availability at a glance, among others. Adding this feature quickly allows tracking of what TYPE of day/week/month and how income/expenses relate to those days. This may be a unique reason, but I think there is a benefit to all in this feature. It could be used for someone to mark 2 weeks as a vacation, which would allow them to quickly see how much they spent during their holiday. Currently the tags are too bulky for me to achieve this, as I have to essentially create a transaction individually on each day. I've attached a screenshot of my google calendar as example. First time using the app and it's been great. Thanks.

In the Calendar, add challenges or accomplishments like "# of no-spend days per month", "# of days spent is below X amount", "# of days without spending on takeout". Can show a streak for consecutive days of no spend or could have badges that can be earned and displayed next to each week in the calendar, eg: "My own chef": For weeks with no "Restaurant" or "Take out" spending "Coffee is for the weak": For weeks with no spending in "Coffee Shops" "Big saver": For weeks where there is a transfer transaction to "Savings" or "Investments"

The calendar is a great feature and it helps quickly have more insights on spending habits! I'm now using it to better plan next month budget and it would be super helpful to have a total per week (or on a second total line on the last day of the week) to understand the total spent during each week. comparing on the fly the total spent this week or this month would help easily decide on the budget for the next month or where to optimize next week/month...

Add an option to filter by category, account, tag, payee, etc. in the Calendar view, for example: Filter out (exclude) all income categories to get an expense only view. Filter to only show the credit card payments category to see a clear view of all credit card payments. Filter to only show travel related categories to see spending by day in the calendar Filter to only show a specific account, to only see recurring items / bills for that account Filter to only show transactions from a specific payee or tag

Allow syncing of recurring items to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook.

It would be great if we're able to see the calendar with projected balance based on projected income, budget spend and recurring transactions into the future if that makes sense? for eg with all the info plugged in I can scroll say 3 months ahead to say June and I'll be able to see what my account would look like then if I stick to my current budget. Also if there is a way to have the balances plugged in everyday as opposed to when a transaction is actually posted based again on projections. I don't see a balance on the days that I have income it only shows total spend per day. If this could all sort of magically (coding magic) be calculated (greyed out and adjusted based on actual transactions) I think it would be solid. Hope all this makes sense!

Dear Lunch Money staff, I hope this message finds you well. As a new user of LM, I’m genuinely impressed with the intuitive design and the array of features, particularly the calendar feature, which I find exceptionally helpful. However, I’ve encountered a usability challenge while using LM on my MacBook Air (version 15.4.1) with Chrome. When entering transactions, especially towards the end of the month, the focus within the table tends to shift. After saving a transaction via the 'Add New Transaction' panel, the entire page reloads instead of just refreshing the calendar table. This causes the view to reset to the top of the page, requiring me to scroll back down to continue working on the last days of the month. To improve the user experience, I suggest optimising the focus on the transaction entry row and implementing a partial refresh mechanism for the calendar table. This adjustment would streamline the process, making it more efficient and user-friendly. Thank you for considering this feedback. I look forward to seeing LM continue to evolve and improve.

Add green and red color for visual distinction to allow a quick glance at positive and negative daily totals in the Calendar view.

In the Calendar, add a clear visual distinction for the current day, and a subtle color change to identify weekends as well.

If there are more transactions that can fit in the box, have an option to show all transactions for entire calendar instead of needing to click for each day.
