The menu

What the sidebar and the phone bar are called, and where the nested pages live.

Where to find it

On a computer, the left sidebar. On a phone, the bottom bar, plus More. There is no screen for pinning or rearranging that menu.

The sidebar is a short list. Get started is at the top only until setup is done. Then, in this order:

  1. Dashboard. This is the home screen. The website sometimes calls it Home. In the app the menu label is Dashboard.
  2. Transactions. Merchants and Tags are tabs on that page, not sidebar items.
  3. Budgets. Goals, Scenarios and Own money are tabs here.
  4. Bills. Subscriptions and Debts are tabs here.
  5. Forecast.
  6. Review. What changed and Pay cycle are tabs here.
  7. Plans. Christmas and Yearly costs are tabs here.
  8. Build, only if Build & renovate is on. The page itself is titled Projects. Lending & build is a tab on it.
  9. Belongings, only if Home & belongings is on. Insurance is a tab on it.
  10. Net worth. Investments is a tab on it.
  11. Ask Jarful, only if AI extras is on. On a phone the bottom button is shortened to Ask.
  12. Settings, at the bottom, with Import and Privacy as tabs. Sign out sits under Settings.

On a phone the bottom bar is Dashboard, Transactions, Budgets, then Ask or Bills, then More. Quick add is the plus in the centre. It is not a page in the list. More uses the same sidebar list, and it pins Bills and Forecast when they are not already on the bar. During the Christmas season, More also pins Plans.

Old links still open. #/home is the dashboard. A link you saved to merchants, goals or Christmas still lands on that page, and the parent item lights up in the sidebar.

Phone, and a lost signal

Yes. Jarful runs in your web browser on phone, tablet or computer. On a phone you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.

Partly. If you lose signal, Jarful opens with the figures you last saw on that device and refreshes when you’re back online. Making changes needs a connection.

The app says this in its own words too. A bar can read Offline, with Try again. A page you have never opened on that device can say This page needs a connection.

What this does not do

There is no menu to pin or rearrange. Light / dark, when it is shown, is a theme switch for this device, not an extra product. There isn’t a Jarful app to install from a store.
