Start with the question you actually have
The dedicated pages are now set up under `/help`. The CSV import page is the first fully detailed guide, and the other core pages are live as lighter entry guides.
Core budgeting
Learn the timing model and the main budgeting behaviors first.
Pay Periods
KindaBroke is built around pay periods, not calendar-month guessing. The goal is to show what each paycheck needs to cover.
- How does KindaBroke decide which paycheck funds a bill or bucket?
- What changes when a month has extra weekly or bi-weekly paychecks?
Budget Methods
Every expense has a budgeting behavior. The behavior controls how it appears in pay periods and whether it acts like a bill, a bucket, or both.
- When should an expense be a normal bill instead of a split?
- When is an envelope the better choice?
History and analysis
Use these pages when you are reviewing what happened or checking summaries.
Reports And Analysis
The overview report is meant to explain the budget, not replace the pay-period card math.
- What is the difference between planned numbers and actual numbers?
- When should I trust the report and when should I trust the cards and logs?
History, Effective Dates, And Archives
The app should preserve what happened while still letting users end, archive, or reactivate recurring expenses.
- What does a paid log actually mean?
- Why is an expense still visible after I archived or ended it?
Loan And Card Payoff Estimates
Payoff estimates use the remaining balance and payment amount to help users understand how long a payoff may take.
- How does the app estimate payoff timing?
- What has to stay updated for the estimate to feel realistic?
Tools
These pages explain more specialized helpers and data-entry workflows.
Walkthrough roadmap
The future guided tour still lives on its own roadmap page while the docs area is being built out.
New-User Walkthrough Roadmap
See what still needs to be built before the app turns on a guided first-run walkthrough.
Right now, the detailed guide is live for CSV import. The other pages are active entry pages and will deepen from here without changing the route structure again.
