Budgets
Budgets feature is almost done. The UI probably will be different from the original comment below.
Original: It would be nice to be able to set a budget in Financius, either general or category-specific, and have the app tell you how well you're doing.
The general budget can be set through the Balance screen, just like this:
In order to set a budget, first you have to enter an amount and then use the dropbox to choose between "euros" and "% of total income". For example, your budget could be "700 euros" or it could be "70% of your total income".
Category-specific budgets can be set in the category editor, like this:
It would be basically the same as before, but in addition to "euros" and "% of total income" there would be a third option, "% of total expense". That should warn you if you start to spend too much money on a certain category at the start of the month.
You could see a category's budget in its details screen:
And the Summary card of the Overview can also tell you how well you're doing, depending on factors such as what your budget is, how much you've spent and what day of the month it is.
It's not part of beta as it's still open. I cannot tell when it's to be expected, because I work on this project once a week after work. So I cannot spend a lot of time on it
Thanks for the quick reply! I wish I was familiar enough with Android development to just make a pull request myself. Someday soon!

Hey Mantas, Can you push your modifications for the Budget section on a separate branch? I would love this feature and I'm thinking maybe I can help with the coding.
Thanks, Gabriel
With budgets I on;y had some testing code done. I'm in a progress of rewriting most of the app and still not sure how the budgets should be implemented. But it's one of the higher priority features so it won't be too long until I start working on it again
