the core amount action fast while making advanced metadata available when you
need it.

Merchant autocomplete
As you type, Salli searches confirmed merchant history and the local Sri
Lankan corpus. Selecting a suggestion keeps spelling consistent, which
improves filters and future categorization.
Categories and learning
When you change a guessed category, Salli may offer Always. Accepting it
creates a local merchant rule that overrides future bundled guesses. The
built-in safety filters still run before categorization.
Labels
Type a label name and choose an existing suggestion or create a new label.
Labels intentionally cross accounts and categories—for example work,
holiday, or medical claim.
Edit an existing entry
Open Activity → transaction → Edit. The editor uses the same fields and
preserves source evidence. Saving updates Home, budgets, goals, recurring
detection, and reports immediately.
Changing an amount, direction, account, or date can materially change Safe to
Spend and historical reports. Review the transaction detail after saving.
