Switching between personal, business and both

If you run a business alongside your own money, scope puts one lens over the whole app instead of making you filter every screen separately. It is off until you turn it on.

Before you start

Scope is off by default, and while it is off none of it appears anywhere. If you do not run a business you can skip this article entirely.

Steps

1

Turn scope on in Settings

A Personal / Business / Both switch appears at the top of the app. It applies to every screen at once rather than being a filter you set again on each one.

2

Mark which accounts are business

Each account, bill and income source belongs to one side or the other. Anything you do not mark stays personal.

An account can only be on one side. If a card is genuinely used for both, the cleaner answer is usually to stop doing that.
3

Work in the lens you need

Personal hides the business entirely. Business shows only it. Both shows the combined position, which is the one that matters when you are deciding whether you can afford something.

Paying yourself

A transfer from the business account to your own is a transfer rather than income, and Cashrou has a kind for exactly that: a task that reminds you to do it, or one that actually moves the money between two accounts you hold.

Recording it as salary instead would double-count it, because the money was already in the business account and already counted.

Turning it off again

Turning scope off hides the switch and shows everything together. Nothing is deleted, and turning it back on restores the same division.
