STATEMENT IMPORT

Drop in a PDF or CSV and VULT reads it as the table it is — dates in one column, the amount and the running balance at the right margin — then proves the read against the statement's own closing balance. If a line is missing, the total will not land, and VULT tells you instead of quietly filing a shorter month.

  • Transfers stay transfers. Money you moved between your own accounts is matched to the accounts you named, not counted twice as income and spending.
  • Names you would actually write. MCDONALDS THORNTON NSWAU becomes McDonald's, with the printed line kept in the note.
  • Re-import without doubles. Two exports that overlap add the missing days only.
  • A restore point first. Every import saves the budget before it changes anything, so a bad file is one tap to undo.

THE REAL BUDGETING PROBLEM

Budgets often fail through friction: too much setup, too little context, and no satisfying reason to return after an imperfect week. VULT keeps the daily action small and the deeper answers close.

One clear action

Log the move now.

Recent purchases become useful shortcuts. Receipt scanning and statement imports handle the heavier history.

One connected system

Correct it once.

Transactions, plans and analytics calculate from the same edited record instead of drifting apart.

One reason to return

Make progress visible.

XP, streaks, achievements and a growing tree celebrate useful habits — never fake financial returns.
