Categories answer “what kind of money movement is this?” Labels answer “which project, event, person, or purpose does it belong to?”

​
Labels

Create labels in a transaction editor by typing a new name. Add one or more labels to any entry, then open More → Labels to see totals and activity. Examples:
  • work;
  • wedding;
  • reimbursable;
  • school;
  • holiday 2026.
Salli Labels screen with cross-category transaction groups Each label includes every matching transaction across accounts and categories. A transaction with multiple labels appears in every applicable label view, so label totals should not be added together as if they were mutually exclusive.

​
Merchant catalog

Salli keeps canonical merchant names from:
  • confirmed local transaction history;
  • user-created merchant rules; and
  • the bundled Sri Lankan merchant corpus.
Autocomplete helps prevent spelling variants from fragmenting reports.

​
Merchant learning

When you recategorize an entry and choose Always, Salli records a local merchant-to-category rule. User rules take precedence over bundled guesses and can be inspected or removed in More → Corpus & rules.

​
Ignore rules

If a supported alert is not a transaction you want, Always ignore similar creates a separate local ignore rule. Ignore rules do not delete earlier confirmed transactions.

​
Privacy

The merchant catalog and rules stay on the device. A feedback package is exported only when you explicitly create and share it; the package excludes raw SMS, transaction values, balances, account data, and ledger history.
