# What is guito

> An overview of what guito does and how it brings your net worth together.

guito brings your personal finances together in one place. The core idea is simple: instead of your money being scattered across several banks, brokers, and spreadsheets, it all lives in a single net-worth view. Bank accounts, investments, property, credits, and cash sit side by side, with values updated automatically. It is built for Europe, with Portugal first.

You can [explore transactions, investments and loans on the homepage](https://guito.app/#funcionalidades) before creating an account. Calculators work without registration. To organise your own data, start with a free account; bank synchronisation is included in [Plus](/en/account/plans-and-pricing).

To start using it, see [Create your account](/en/getting-started/create-account) and [Connect your bank](/en/getting-started/connect-your-bank).

From this data, guito calculates your **net worth**: the sum of all assets minus liabilities. The **Overview** page shows that figure, the breakdown by category, a chart of how it has changed over time, and your largest positions.

## How it is organised

The app is split into sections, reached from the sidebar: on a wide screen it is always visible; on a narrow one, open it from the menu button at the top of the page. The **Overview** is the starting point. Below it, in the order they appear, come **Activity**, **Plans** — your Budgets and Goals — **Wealth**, which groups the pages where you manage each part (Accounts, Investments, Property & valuables, and Credits), and **Tools**.

The **Activity** section holds **Cash flow**, the list of everything that came in and went out of your accounts, and **Recurring**, the commitments that repeat regularly — weekly through annual. **Tools** is where you find the **Connections** to your banks and the **Calculators**, with simulators such as income tax (IRS), net salary, and mortgage payments.

## How your data reaches guito

Data reaches guito in three ways, depending on the type of asset:

* **Automatic sync (open banking).** For bank accounts, transactions and balances come in automatically once you connect the bank; access is always authorised at your own bank. This is the path described in [Connect your bank](/en/getting-started/connect-your-bank).
* **Market quotes.** For investments, your portfolio is built from the buys and sells you record — or synced automatically if you connect your broker — and the market value updates from those quotes.
* **Manual entries.** For anything that does not sync (property, credits, and accounts without an automatic connection), values are managed by hand and feed the calculation in the same way.
