Setting your base currency

Your base currency is the currency used for all summary totals, net worth, and dashboard cards. You can set it during onboarding or change it anytime in Settings.

Multi-currency support

Each account and transaction stores its original currency. When displaying totals, beanies.family converts amounts to your base currency using the latest exchange rates.

💱 Exchange rates

Exchange rates are fetched automatically from a free currency API. You can also set manual rates in Settings if you prefer.

Language options

beanies.family currently supports English and Chinese. The app uses an automatic translation service to translate the UI. You can switch languages in Settings.
