Quick start

    ScyFin allows you to manage your finances in detail, secure and with great visibility across your spendings and incomes.
    After you create and setup your account, it will be provisioned with all the resources the app offers, which you can read about here, in the docs, across the left sidebar.

    Most of them includes:

    • Creating and managing your transactions (spendings and incomes)
    • Grouping transactions into categories or groups
    • Managing your credit card and credit transactions
    • Setting up budgets to use for assigning part of your incomes for your future known spendings
    • Viewing details about your money, such as tables, charts and useful cards to better understand what is going on in your accounts

What should you do next?

    The app works very much by itself, however it needs your data in order to put it in the right place.
    That's why all you have to do is to provide those details by creating your categories and groups, your budgets and insert your transactions.

    Basically every time you earn or spend money you should insert that information in the app.
    But don't worry! It only takes a couple of seconds and you can do it from anywhere in the world and from any device, such as PCs, tablets or smartphones.

    When you have time, you can also spend a few minutes going through these docs to better understand what every resource is used for and how you can benefit from using them. Or, you can also read them when you need them, as they are not going anywhere :).

    If you don't want to read, then that's OK for you too. Most of the sections also include explanatory videos available for you to watch.
