Some expenses belong to the same occasion without deserving a category of their own for good: a trip to the Canaries, a friend’s wedding, a home renovation. A tag is a name of your own, such as “Canaries trip” or “Renato’s wedding”, that groups those transactions. They stay in their categories and, by filtering by the tag, you see what it all cost together. Tags are included in every plan, Free included.

Tag a transaction

1

Open the transaction

In Transactions, open the transaction and click Edit. You can also choose tags when you add a transaction.
2

Pick or create the tag

In the Tags field, pick a tag you already have, or type a new name and choose Create “name”.
  • A transaction can have up to 20 tags.
  • A name has up to 40 characters and is unique regardless of upper or lower case: Trip and trip are the same tag. If you type a name that already exists, guito uses the tag you already have.
  • The tag sits on the whole transaction. On a split transaction, every part has the same tags.

Tag several transactions at once

1

Select the transactions

In Transactions, or in an account’s list of transactions, tick the transactions. In the app, press and hold one transaction, then tap the others.
2

Choose Tag

In the bar that appears, choose Tag.
3

Pick or create the tags

Pick the tags, or type a new name and choose Create “name”. On the web, click Add tags; in the app, tap Add.
Each transaction keeps the tags it already had. If one would end up with more than 20, it stays as it was and the message tells you how many.

See what it cost

In Transactions, open the filters and choose one or more tags under Tags. The list shows the transactions that carry at least one of them. You can also type part of the name in the search: the matching tags show up under the field. On the website, picking one filters the page straight away; in the app, the tag joins the filter and you tap Apply. With a tag chosen, the whole page is that tag’s: the totals at the top, the Trend chart and the spending by category. Expenses tell you what the trip cost, income what you received towards it. Choose All time as the period so nothing is left out. In the list, each transaction shows the tag you are filtering by first, so you see at once why it is there.
Click a tag on a transaction (or tap it, in the app) to open Transactions already filtered by it.

Manage your tags

Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Settings, Tags tab. You can also get there from the end of the list in a transaction’s Tags field, under Manage tags. You see all your tags and how many transactions carry each one. For each tag you can:
  • Rename it: the new name shows on every transaction that has it.
  • Merge it into another tag: its transactions get the other tag and this one disappears. Handy when you created “Canaries” and “Canaries trip” for the same trip.
  • Delete it: the transactions stay as they are and just lose the tag.
You can have up to 500 tags. A tag with no transactions stays on the list until you delete it.

Ask the agent

On the Plus plan, the AI agent answers by tag, for example: “How much did I spend on Canaries trip?” or “Which transactions are tagged Renato’s wedding?”. The agent reads your tags, but doesn’t add them to or remove them from transactions.

FAQ

A category says what kind of spending it is (restaurants, fuel, accommodation) and counts towards budgets. A tag says which occasion it belongs to (the trip, the wedding) and doesn’t change the category. A dinner in the Canaries stays in your restaurants category and carries the tag “Canaries trip”.
No. Budgets and categories work as before; a tag only helps you find and add up the transactions you tagged.
No. The transactions stay as they are, with the same category and amount; they just no longer carry that tag.
