How much is left to spend

Overspend is a signal, not a ban. No limit is fine too.

I can warn you. I will not lock the till like a bank: overspend is a signal, not a barrier.

Log the first purchase

Not a ban. A remainder.

day limit 900

Day, week, month — three ceilings, not three apps

Say “day limit 900”, “week limit 7000”, or “month limit 45000”. After a confirmed spend Galka says how much is still allowed. Living without a limit is fine: she does not require a ceiling to keep the journal.

Overspend

If you are already over the ceiling, the row still saves. Galka shows the overrun. This is not a card block and not a fine.

Personal and shared

In a family, a bare “day limit” lands on whoever wrote it. “Shared limit” lands on the chat. In friends-trip mode a day budget does not live: that is a tab, not an envelope.

Must-pays sit beside the limit, not inside it

Rent in plans is not auto-subtracted from the limit as “already forbidden.” The limit is a spend envelope. Plans are what you put on a day of the month yourself. Mixing them is false strictness.

Not financial advice

“Still allowed 120” is the remainder of your envelope, not advice on whether to buy. Galka is not a broker and not a credit officer.

About a ceiling without a lecture

Do I have to set a limit?

No. Without a ceiling the journal still works. A limit is if you want to hear the remainder.

Will overspend block coffee?

It still logs if you confirmed. A warning is not a ban.

How do I remove a limit?

Say remove the day, week, or month limit. That does not zero the till.

Is this advice on how much to spend?

No. It is your envelope. Not investment and not credit advice.
