I’m building a shared budget system for my husband and me and need your help turning the idea into a working tool. Every transaction—whether we type it in or pull it straight from our bank statement—has to land in the right category automatically. I want to be able to add, delete or rename those categories at any time so the file never feels locked-down.

Visual feedback is critical. A clean bar-chart dashboard should compare Planned vs. Actual for each category and highlight the moment we hit the limit. Because some envelopes are pre-funded from savings while others draw directly from checking, I’ll need a second bar chart that isolates checking-account activity so our true cash flow is crystal clear.

Here’s what I need from you:
• A shareable tracker (spreadsheet, web app, or lightweight database—you can suggest the best fit) that accepts both manual entry and bank-import data.
• Rules or formulas that auto-sort every transaction into my fully customizable categories.
• Two bar-chart views—one consolidated, one checking-only—updating in real time.
• Simple controls to tweak categories, planned amounts, and funding sources without touching the underlying logic.

If the above sounds straightforward to you, please outline the platform you’d use, any libraries or add-ins required, and a brief timeline to deliver a first working version we can test together.
