Set a spending limit and see what is left
A vault holds the expenses for one part of your spending, such as groceries, a trip, or a client job. Give it an amount and a period. CatatKoin shows what you spent, what is left, and how many days remain.

What it does
Two kinds of vault
A time-bound vault has a start date and an end date, for a trip or a job. An open-ended vault runs without an end date.
A fresh start each period
An open-ended vault can reset every month, quarter, or year. The reset history keeps the spending of each completed period.
Progress you can read
Each vault shows the amount spent, the amount left, and a progress bar. A time-bound vault also shows the days left and a daily average.
Categories that follow the vault
Link a category to a vault. Each expense that you add to the vault then gets that category.
How it works
- 1
Open Vaults and create a vault. Enter a title, the amount you plan to spend, and a color.
- 2
Choose the vault type. For a time-bound vault, enter the start date and the end date. For an open-ended vault, choose Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, or No reset.
- 3
Optional: choose a linked category.
- 4
Add expenses to the vault from the expense form, from Telegram, or from the API.
- 5
Open the vault to see its progress, its expenses, and its reset history.
What it does not do
- A vault does not hold money. It groups expenses, and your money stays in your bank or wallet.
- It does not move money between vaults or accounts.
- It does not stop a payment. If you spend more than the limit, the vault shows it.
