This would be incredibly useful. I have no way to forecast cash flow without a running balance, ideally one that is also present for upcoming scheduled transactions.

I know this will be tricky, since the account view seems to be filter on transactions globally. But the payoff would be huge in that it would also enable the other very requested feature of calendar balances.

You could conceptually keep the same filtering concepts that are very useful everywhere, but when the account is selected, pass the balance as of the starting date, and then easily calculate the running balance. A wrapper that just extends the current filter concept when account is clicked. (Sure there is a lot more to it, just giving some food for thought).

This would be very helpful. One particular reason is that to fill out my FBAR each year for taxes, I need to find the highest balance for each foreign account. Not all banks make this easy to see (some make it impossible). The simplest way has always been to scroll through an account and just note the highest balance.

This is one feature I really miss from YNAB — a running balance displayed with the transactions.

Hello Lunch Money team,

I recently migrated my budget from another budgeting application to Lunch Money and have been enjoying how intuitive and clean the transactions interface feels. It makes manual entry and review straightforward, which is important for how I manage my budget.

One feature I found particularly valuable in my previous setup was the ability to see a running balance per transaction line within the transactions view, showing the account balance immediately after that specific transaction was recorded. This made it much easier to confirm that each entry aligned with my account balance and to quickly spot discrepancies while entering or reviewing transactions.

I currently enter all transactions manually, as I prefer not to rely on third-party connections to my bank or investment accounts. For users who work this way, a running balance on the transactions screen provides immediate feedback and confidence that the ledger remains accurate, without needing to switch views or perform separate calculations.

Adding an optional running balance column (which could be hidden for those who prefer not to see it) to the transactions screen would, in my view, be a meaningful improvement for manual-entry users and anyone who regularly reconciles their accounts. It would make it easier to verify that each transaction aligns with the expected account balance, help users catch errors immediately as they enter data, reduce the need for corrections later, and provide a clear, continuous view of cash flow over time.

Please add this feature, it would be very convenient to see the balance before/after each transaction.
