CASHMAN → FUTARI

Your CashMan data can come with you

Used CashMan for years and want to switch to logging as two? A screenshot + ChatGPT turns your records into a CSV to move into Futari.

Why Futari

  • From a solo ledger to a shared one

    CashMan is a long-time helper for one person. In Futari you both write in the same ledger, and who paid and how it was split is clear on every entry.

  • No keeping the tally in your head

    In a solo ledger you keep the tally of who overpaid yourself. In Futari every entry carries its payer and split, and the balance builds up on its own.

  • Synced and yours to take

    Records live in the cloud, so switching phones loses nothing. When you want to leave, export your expenses, income and settlements to CSV.

You can start without moving anything

Bring the old records over whenever you feel like it — the importer waits in settings once you sign in. Today’s first entry is a fine place to begin.

Moving from CashMan in three steps

  1. In CashMan, scroll back from the latest entry and screenshot as you go, down to the earliest day you want to move (full how-to below).
  2. Turn the screenshots into a CSV with ChatGPT. CashMan has no usable export, so the screenshots are your export file.
  3. Upload the CSV here and preview it to check that all the years are there, then create an account to finish the import.

No CSV export? Use screenshotsFour steps, with a stop at ChatGPT along the way.

If your old app has no CSV export, you can screenshot your records and have ChatGPT turn them into a CSV to upload. The free ChatGPT plan works.

  1. In your old app, scroll your transaction list and take phone screenshots (5–10 is a good range to cover the period you want to move).
  2. Open ChatGPT, upload all the screenshots at once, and paste the prompt below.
  3. Copy the whole ```csv code block ChatGPT returns and save it as xxx.csv in any plain-text editor.
  4. Come back here, upload that csv, preview it, and create an account to finish the import.
Prompt to paste into ChatGPT
You are my bookkeeping data assistant. I will upload screenshots from a budgeting app. Please turn every transaction shown into CSV format.

Requirements:
- The first CSV row is the header: date,category,amount,description,currency,kind
- Use YYYY-MM-DD for date; if a screenshot only shows month/day (e.g. 5/30), assume the current year
- Use a positive integer for amount (no minus sign, no decimals); if it was shown as an expense or in red / with a minus sign, set kind to "expense"; if it was income or in green, set kind to "income"
- Keep the original category text from the screenshot (Chinese or English, as-is)
- Keep the merchant name or note text in description; leave it blank if there is none
- Use an ISO 4217 three-letter code for currency (TWD / USD / JPY / CNY…); default to TWD if the screenshot does not show one
- If the same transaction (same date + amount + description) appears across multiple screenshots, keep only one
- Output the CSV inside a single ```csv code block only, with no explanatory text before or after

I will upload the screenshots once you confirm.
The CSV will look like this
date,category,amount,description,currency,kind
2026-05-30,Food,150,Starbucks,TWD,expense
2026-05-30,Salary,50000,May,TWD,income

Non-TWD rows import at their raw number first; you can adjust the conversion per row after import. The prompt asks ChatGPT to keep just one copy of any entry that appears twice (same date + amount + description); Futari doesn't remove duplicates on import, so import each file only once.

No rush — you can import the CSV from settings any time after you sign in.

Frequently asked

CashMan has no export — can my data really move?
Yes. With no export, the screenshot is the export: capture the transaction screens and have ChatGPT turn them into a CSV with fixed columns. The full steps and a copy-ready prompt are below.
What if some rows are cut off in a screenshot?
Take another screenshot that includes those rows. It's fine if the same entry shows up in two screenshots; the prompt already asks ChatGPT to keep just one.
CashMan is free. Does Futari cost anything?
No. The core ledger is free in Futari too, and sharing with your partner, splitting and exporting don't cost extra.
Years of records — can they all move?
Yes; anything your screenshots cover can be turned into a CSV. For a lot of entries, screenshot and upload in batches.
