Dashboard and home screen

The home screen in Bluecoins — configurable tabs and a dashboard of cards (accounts, budgets, cash flow, net worth, credit cards) that you can reorder and customize.

The dashboard is the home screen you land on when you open Bluecoins: a scrollable set of tabs, each holding a different view of your money. Both the tabs and the cards on the main tab are configurable, so the app can show the numbers you actually care about instead of a fixed layout.

Home tabs

The top of the home screen is a tab bar. Which tabs appear — and in what order — is driven by your configuration. The available tabs are:

  • Main — the dashboard card wall described below.
  • Transactions — your live transaction list with filters.
  • Labels — spending summary per label.
  • Payees — spending summary per payee.
  • Reminders — upcoming reminders and installments.
  • Net earnings — income-versus-expense summary.
  • Balance sheet — your account balance snapshot.
  • Budget — budget versus actual per category.

Dashboard cards

The Main tab is a wall of cards, each an independent mini-view that loads lazily and can be reordered by dragging. Available cards:

  • Account — balance of a single account.
  • Favourite accounts — balances of the accounts you pinned.
  • Budget pie — budget usage as a pie chart.
  • Calendar — a calendar day picker with transaction counts.
  • Cash flow — income versus expense bar chart.
  • Credit card — credit-card statement summary.
  • Daily — today’s and recent spending.
  • Net earnings — net-earnings chart.
  • Net worth — net-worth trend over time.

Customizing the dashboard

Dashboard layout and tab configuration live in Settings → Appearance: the dashboard screen manages which cards appear and their arrangement, and the tabs screen manages which home tabs exist and their order. Both are personal-preference settings — changing them never touches your transactions.

The dashboard versus home-screen widgets

The dashboard is inside the app. If you want balances, reminders, or a quick-add button on your Android home screen, Bluecoins also ships five Android widgets — see the widgets guide for those. The two are separate surfaces over the same data.
