Show a summary since last paycheck
I receive my paycheck at the end of the month. The "summary for {month}" widget is accordingly not very insightful. The widget only highlights my spending for most of the month.
I would like to have a similar insight, but one that resets the counters on the day I receive my paycheck: "Summary since last paycheck".
138 votesGood news alert! 🥳
The much requested feature for the ’summary since last paycheck’ is coming soon to your Cake app! This will give you a more accurate overview of your current budget. 💰
The feature will be part of a larger overhaul of the insights in Cake. Check out our blog for a sneak peak! 🤓 (see https://cake.app/building-cake/looking-forward-to-more-insights/ )
Cheers, Henry 🍰

Show insights for other timeframes
If a customer has multiple years of transaction data in Cake, we should allow users to change the timeframe for which insights are shown. This would be for:
- Yearly
- Monthly
- Weekly
- Last 30 days
- Last 3 months
- Last 6 months
- Last 12 months

Experience Cake on a desktop
I would like to experience Cake also on my desktop. As this has a bigger screen the overview of transactions and spending/earning/saving will be more visual.
98 votesWe are currently not planning to make a desktop version of Cake.
As a start-up, our resources are unfortunately limited… and we still have a lot of core features to build.
We will revisit this decision in a later timeframe.

Add custom tags to a transaction
I would like to add tags (labels) to a transaction. This would allows me to create personal "categories" for transactions.

Link transactions (refund, reimbursement)
I want to link refund or reimbursement transactions, so my insights are more accurate. If I get repaid by a person or merchant for a transaction that I had initially paid for, this should (partially) cancel out the original spending.
Examples are:
- Getting reimbursed by friends/family (e.g. restaurant, shopping for someone else)
- Getting a refund from a company (e.g. Zalando return, Coolblue)
- Getting a cashback on a pruchase (e.g. at a store, Cake cashbacks)
- Having a temporary charge on a card (e.g. Just-Eat, hotels, flights)A €100 purchase with a €50 refund would be cancelled out…

Add investment or securities accounts
I would like to add my investment a securities (brokerage) account account into Cake; automatically synchronizing my investments or financial assets.
43 votesThe current PSD2 legislation – which allows Cake to connect to current accounts – currently doesn’t support investment accounts.
We have accordingly parked this idea.
-
Set a category spending budget
I would like to set a category spending budget in Cake. If I go over this spending budget in a specific category, the Cake app will inform me.
When setting this up, Cake should suggest to me a recommended budget based on peers or my historical spending.

Categorization model
I would like to categorize my transactions using categories in the categorization model discussed in this idea.
Let us know what you think? What's missing? Or what's plainly wrong?
We will frequently update this model (based on your feedback).
70 votesThis feature lists the current categorization model. We will however continue to revise and improve this model.
If you have any feedback or suggestions related to the categorization model, feel free to add them in the comments of this feature.

Share transaction feedback on a shared account
I have a shared/common bank account with my partner. We would like to share the transaction feedback for this bank account.
When I enrich a transaction (add merchant, location or category), I would like this to be visible in the Cake account from my partner.

Exclude transactions from income/spending/savings
I want to hide an incorrect transaction from my insights, because it shows wrong information.
Although we don't want to exclude transactions, we are working on different ways to 'correct' certain transactions. Some of the other features in development:
- Linking transactions (e.g. refunds, reimbursements)
- Mark as transfer (adding IBAN or categorising as savings)
- Viewing insights with the option to temporarily hide categories (e.g. home)
- Control the time period for the average calculation (e.g. last 6 months)60 votesAt this time, we are not going to allow users to exclude transactions from either income, spending or savings calculations.
This feature is too powerful. In case of mistakes it would be very hard to troubleshoot issues.
In a first iteration, we will implement a feature to correct transaction: https://feedback.cake.app/forums/924664-open-roadmap-cake/suggestions/41940874-correct-a-transfer-transaction
We will revisit this idea in a later phase.

Initialize the amount on the savings/investment account
The current legislation doesn't allow us to connect to savings accounts. We can however track transfers to (and from) savings account.
As a user I want to manually define the amount of money on my savings/investment account. It should also be possible to update the amount of money on my savings/investment account (in case the amount on my savings/investment account is not correct). This will ensure that I see the amount of money in my savings/investment account in Cake.

Mark a transaction as a transfer
I want to mark internal transfers when Cake does not detect them, so my insights are more accurate.
Note: by adding all your bank accounts to Cake, we can automatically detect transfers. Adding your savings account will store the IBAN (until banks give full access to those accounts). Alternatively, you can categorise a transaction as 'regular savings', which will also exclude it from the spending/income insights.
If banks do not provide the correct data (e.g. no IBAN to detect), transfers can still show up in spending/income. As a user, I would want to correct the data of a transfer when…

Review my account balance
I would like to review the evolution of my account balance.
14 votesWe have reviewed this idea in the past, but didn’t found it very insightful.
In most cases, a similar insight reveals a repeating shark fin pattern. On Payday, you typically see a big spike… and the rest of the month is a slower curve down.
We are looking for input when/how this would be insightful.

Set up a payment flow
As a user I would like to create chains of conditional statements to automate payment flows.
For example...
- As soon as I receive my salary, transfer € 1.000 to our family account.
- When I spend money at Starbucks, transfer € 1 to my savings account.
- At the end of the month, transfer the remaining budget to my savings account.
- Whenever I make a payment, round the amount up to the next euro and transfer these eurocents to my investment account.23 votes -

Filter Cake by account group
I would like to filter the views in Cake to show only a specific account, or a group of bank accounts. We will refer to this as account groups in Cake.
In the current implementation, I always see the view of all connected accounts. I would like to look at the details of a single account, or of a group of accounts; for example all personal, shared, or business accounts.
The views include the journal, and the insights and reports on the dashboard.
Note: We will introduce default groups for all personal and all professional accounts. In addition to this,…

You can now separate your shared, business, personal or other accounts. 😎 Check it out or update your app to explore this cool new feature!

Add the transactions of eco and meal vouchers [BE]
I would like to have expenses via meal vouchers and eco vouchers added to the app.
We're working on the following integrations:
* Add Edenred accounts
* Add Monizze accounts
* Add Sodexo account224 votesWe are working on the integration of eco and meal vouchers.

Pay at stores using Cake
I would like to use the Cake app to pay at store payment terminals. This would add convenience and make Cake a hub for everything related to finances.
It could be identical to services like Google Pay and Apple Pay. Ideally, users should have the option to choose the card when initialising the payment. Maybe it could even be integrated with Cake Rewards for purchases at partners.
2 votesAn interesting suggestion! This will require partnerships with payment providers such as Worldline and Bancontact.
We will first focus our development efforts on other features and integrations, and revisit this idea later.
-
Repeat an existing transaction
I want to be able to repeat a transaction using Cake, so I don't waste time filling in the details again.
This would copy all data from an existing transaction visible in Cake to a new transaction. E.g. for credit card payments, the structured remark would already be in place.
