The routine work, already in motion.
Recurring records, shared splits, and scheduled rule checks keep working when the app is closed. These automations organize and monitor your finances; they do not move money or pay bills.

Eligible recurring shared expenses create split records automatically, reducing repetitive work for the bills you regularly share.
Card Spending Rule Evaluation
Periodic checks of active spending rules create durable in-app and email alert events, even when you are not using the app.
Investment Alert Evaluation
Scheduled activity and market checks provide evaluation backstops, while alert retention helps keep the feed relevant.

Mature and early-detection recurring streams power upcoming-bill and lapsed-subscription reminders for proactive cash-flow planning.
