Futari

SIMPLE DAILY MONEY → FUTARI

Your Simple Daily Money data can come with you

Simple Daily Money's CSV export is a VIP feature; rather than pay just to move, a screenshot + ChatGPT turns your records into a CSV that still moves to Futari.

Why Futari

  • Written together, not just viewed

    Simple Daily Money's shared ledger is each person logging separately with a merged view; Futari is one ledger where both of you can add and edit, and every entry is visible to both.

  • Who owes whom, worked out for you

    A merged report shows the totals but not who should pay back how much. In Futari, pick a split — half, by ratio, each their own — per entry, and the balance settles automatically.

  • Data moves freely, in and out

    In Simple Daily Money, CSV export is a VIP feature; in Futari, both import and export are free, and your expenses, income and settlements can be exported any time.

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 Simple Daily Money in three steps

  1. Screenshot the transactions you want to move in Simple Daily Money, page by page; you don't need the VIP export (full how-to below).
  2. Turn the screenshots into a CSV with ChatGPT; the free plan is enough. Category text is written into the CSV as it appears, and on import the ones that match land in Futari's categories while the rest go to Other.
  3. Upload the CSV here and preview it to check the row count and date range, 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

Simple Daily Money's CSV export needs a VIP subscription — can I move without paying?
Yes. Simple Daily Money's CSV export needs VIP, so if you'd rather not subscribe just to leave, use screenshots instead: capture the transaction screens and have ChatGPT turn them into a CSV. The full steps and a copy-ready prompt are below.
How many screenshots?
5–10 is a good range; scroll to cover the period you want to move. The prompt already asks ChatGPT to keep one copy of any entry that appears twice.
The free ChatGPT plan is enough. Is there any step on the Futari side that costs money?
No. Uploading and previewing, mapping categories and the import are all free, so the whole route from Simple Daily Money screenshots into Futari needs no subscription.
Will the categories ChatGPT produces be off?
The category text is kept as-is; you preview after uploading and can map it to Futari categories during the actual import.
I already paid for (lifetime) VIP in Simple Daily Money — is moving worth it?
That VIP purchase stays with Simple Daily Money; it doesn't transfer to any other app, wherever you move. Futari is completely free today — logging, splitting, cloud sync, and CSV export/import all work with no paid unlock, so nothing here is locked behind a purchase.
