If you add most of your expenses to a single wallet, like a primary credit card or budget, Gem can automatically choose this wallet for you whenever you create new expenses.
Go to Settings >New items
Under Favorites, tap Keep expenses in...
Choose a wallet
Tip
Traveling? Create a new budget (or wallet) for it, like "NYC 2024", and set it as your favorite wallet. Just don't forget to change it when your trips ends 🥸
You can also set favorite income category, just look for Keep income in...
Change category list view
When entering expenses, you can choose between viewing your categories in a list or icons
Go to Settings>New items>Category
Under "Show as", tap Grid to see a list of icons
Tip
You can also change the list of your wallets the same way
Search for categories
When picking categories, you can choose to always show the keyboard for quick search and recent categories, or always show the full list
Go to Settings>New items>Category
Turn off Show keyboard to show the full list of categories
Tip
You can also change this for wallets
Hide decimals
You can type amounts without the last 2 digits (cents). For example, just $5 instead of $5.34.
Go to Settings >New items> Amount
Turn off Use decimals
Tip
You can also hide decimals across Gem, so amounts like $99.49 will appear as $100. Learn more
Use multiple currencies
You can add more currencies to choose from when creating expenses.
Go to Settings > Currency
Tap Add
Choose a currency
Next time you create an expense, you'll be able to choose this currency when typing the amount

Setting default currency for wallets or budgets is coming soon :)
