Achievements

Budgeting is long-haul work whose effects only show after several months. The Achievements page (More → Achievements) makes the progress in between visible — without ever influencing your numbers.

Nothing here touches your money. Everything is derived from what you already do: no badge changes a balance, an assignment or a report.

Level

Your level sums up your overall activity. It only goes up: it’s a running total, not a grade.

Streak

The streak counts active weeks — the ones where you logged at least one transaction.

It includes a grace week: missing one week doesn’t reset the counter, and a single entry gets you going again. A streak that collapses over a week off would punish ordinary life, not slacking.

Monthly challenges

Three short objectives, reset every month:

• On the books — log 8 expenses this month.
• Funded envelopes — fully fund 4 targeted envelopes.
• All in the green — keep 5 envelopes out of the red.

They cover things you’d do anyway; none asks you to spend or save more.

Badges

Badges unlock when a condition is met and stay earned — even if the situation changes later. A badge for a fully assigned month doesn’t vanish the next month.

A month ahead is the one to aim for: it unlocks when your envelopes cover a full month of spending — the method’s milestone, living this month on last month’s money. The Month ahead widget on the dashboard tracks the same thing day to day.

They’re stored in your vault like everything else: you find them on all your devices, and nobody else can see them.

Hiding the block

The Your progress block is a dashboard widget. Overview → Customize lets you remove it, and Add puts it back later. The calculation keeps running quietly; the Achievements page itself stays under More → Achievements.
