Categories drive the breakdown in Fund Flow, the bars in budgets, and the grouping in reports. Accurate categories are what make those views useful.

​
Built-in categories

DueZen ships with categories covering most household and personal expenses. Each has a default color used in charts and budget bars, and you can change any of those colors.

​
Create a custom category

1

Open the category picker

On any bill’s add or edit screen, tap the category field.
2

Tap + New Category

It sits at the bottom of the picker.
3

Name it and pick a color

Choose from the 30-color palette, then confirm.
Custom categories appear alongside the built-ins everywhere in the app — the bill list, the Fund Flow breakdown, budget settings, and reports. Delete unused ones from the categories management screen.
Start with broad buckets — Housing, Food, Fun — and split them only when a pattern actually emerges. Over-specific categories are harder to keep accurate, and inaccurate categories make Fund Flow worse, not better.

​
Re-categorize from Fund Flow

If items are piling up under Other, you can fix them without hunting through the bill list.
1

Tap the Other segment

On the Fund Flow donut chart, tap the segment to expand the list of items beneath it.
2

Open an item

Tap it to go to its detail screen.
3

Update the category

Change the category field and save. Fund Flow reflects it immediately.
Batch re-categorizing is available from the item list on the Fund Flow screen.
