Recurring transactions and Payment Alerts
A recurring transaction logs itself on schedule. Payment Alerts remind you the morning a recurring bill is due.
How to do it
- Open Profile → Recurring transactions, or the Recurring shortcut on Home.
- Tap New recurring.
- Choose Expense or Income, then the description, amount, category and cashbook.
- Pick the Frequency: weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly, quarterly or yearly. Set the Start date and, if it stops, an end date.
- Save it. Folko logs each one when it falls due.
Payment Alerts
For a recurring expense, Folko sends a notification at 9:00 on the morning it is due. The alert is set on your phone, so it arrives without a connection. Turn it off in Profile → Notifications → Payment Alerts.
If your bank or card pays a bill by itself, switch on Paid automatically. Folko still logs it but sends no alert, and Home shows it as Automatic.
Power-user tips
- Annual increase % raises the amount once a year, for rent or subscriptions that go up.
- Editing a recurring transaction changes future ones only; past entries stay as they were. Skip next skips a single occurrence.
- Swipe a recurring transaction to stop it. Past transactions stay.
- Home's Upcoming section lists what is due next.
Free: 3 recurring transactions. Plus and Max: unlimited. Payment Alerts are on every plan.
