Quadra keeps your household accounts and shows what will be left at the end of the month — and of the months after that. It grew out of a spreadsheet that stopped being enough. Recording expenses was never the hard part. The hard part was knowing in advance how the month would end, with rent, installments and bills that come back identical, and the unexpected ones that never do. ENTRIES THAT REPEAT, WRITTEN ONCE Salary, rent, installments, subscriptions: set them once with their cadence and they appear on their own from then on — even when the calendar gets awkward, like a month without a 31st or a due date that falls on a Sunday. THE FORECAST, NOT JUST THE HISTORY Plenty of apps can tell you today’s balance. Quadra also shows the months that haven’t arrived yet, built from the recurring entries it already knows. It’s the reason Quadra exists. SCENARIOS TO TRY BEFORE YOU DECIDE Lay a big purchase over the forecast and see what it does to the following months, without touching your real accounts. If it does happen, one tap turns the scenario into real transactions. BANK STATEMENTS, PDF INCLUDED Import your bank’s CSV, Excel or PDF files. Rows wait in a review area until you confirm them, and duplicates are recognized: load the same month twice and nothing is counted twice. QUICK ADD IN PLAIN WORDS Type “35 groceries yesterday” and Quadra fills in amount, date and category. It understands Italian, English, Spanish, French and German. ACCOUNTS SHARED WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD Open one account to someone you live with: they see and record on that account, and only that one. Everything else stays private. ALSO IN THIS APP • Months, annual report and a statement for any period • Budgets by category • Several accounts and transfers between them • Your currency and number format, whatever the language • Light and dark appearance, iPhone and iPad YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No bank account to connect: you write the numbers yourself or import them from a statement. You can export everything to a file at any time, or delete your account from the app. The same account works in the browser at quadra.cgsg.it and in the Quadra app for Mac. Quadra is young and changes often. If something behaves oddly, write to info@cgsg.it — the two of us read every message.
