Best app. Just wish had one more feature

I love the app. The only thing that I wish was added was a monthly spending calendar showing what days I spent money on. That’s the only thing keeping me from only using this app exclusively. That would be great. Like a literal calendar showing how much money I spent on each day.

GREAT APP JUST NEEDS SOME POLISH ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Basil has quickly become one of my favorite finance apps. The fact that your data stays fully local on your device with no account required is a massive win — I actually trust this app with my financial information, which is rare. The UI is also a genuine pleasure to use; sleek, intentional, and enjoyable to open daily.
That said, a few bugs are holding it back:

Recurring Bills — Setting a recurring bill pushes the date forward depending on the frequency chosen, which defeats the purpose of automating bill tracking.

Duplicate Transactions — Transactions occasionally appear more than once, throwing off budget totals and forcing manual audits.

Bank Syncing — Please add automatic bank syncing. Even a secure read-only connection would make this app a true one-stop solution.

Performance — The app causes noticeable overheating during use, pointing to something running inefficiently. This needs attention before it becomes a real battery and hardware concern.
