Getting Started
You can try Demo Mode right away without signing up - the app will load sample wallets, categories and transactions.
For full use, sign in with Google to sync data across devices.
Onboarding
On first sign-in, Finapp guides you through a step-by-step setup. Each step shows a description and a single action button:
- Create a wallet - while no wallets exist, the app prompts you to create your first one. The button navigates to the wallet creation page.
- Create a category - after creating a wallet, a prompt appears to create your first category. The button navigates to the category creation page.
- Add a transaction - once you have both a wallet and a category, the app suggests recording your first transaction. The button opens the transaction form.
The onboarding disappears automatically after you create your first transaction. Each step only appears after the previous one is completed - you never see all three at once.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Finapp supports keyboard shortcuts for quick access to core features (desktop only):
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Cmd+G | Open/close transaction form |
Cmd+\ | Toggle sidebar |
Escape | Close transaction form |
Enter | Confirm action in dialogs (delete, confirm) |
On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl instead of Cmd.
