Gem

Check your history

Set custom starting day

By default, Gem calculates your expenses from the 1st of the month. You can change that to match your billing or due date.

  1. Go to History
  2. Tap the button on the top
  3. Tap More options
  4. Tap on Starting on, then choose the date
Notice

Due to a bug, Home screen widgets ignore custom starting day

Navigate your history

You can tap the calendar button on the top of your History to view expenses of a given month.

Tip

Swipe left or right on your expenses list for faster navigation :)

Future expenses

When looking in your History, Gem will show all expenses from the 1st day of the month to the current day (or from your custom starting day).

For example, if today is the 15th of the month, you won't see expenses whose date is the 16th.

Notice

This is a technical limitation due to Gem being 6 years old. I'm hoping to change this behavior in the future (🥁)

Sorting

By default, Gem shows your oldest entries first. You can change it to show your recent entries first.

  1. Go to History
  2. Tap the button on the top
  3. Choose Show newest first
Notice

Known issue in Gem 3.6: When using "Show newest first", the Tracking widget isn't appearing. This is a bug I hope to fix soon, sorry.

Group recurring payments

If you prefer having your bills appear on a separate list, Gem can display them in a dedicated group on the top of your history (or bottom, according to your sorting).

  1. Go to History
  2. Tap the button on the top
  3. Tap More options
  4. Enable Group repeaeting expense
