Journal Tab

The Journal Tab provides a comprehensive chronological log of every directive inside your ledgerβsimilar to the interface offered by Fava.
π Featuresβ
Complete Entry Streamβ
Unlike the Transactions tab which focuses solely on postings, the Journal view displays all Beancount directive types in a unified stream:
- Transactions: Standard double-entry entries.
- Notes: Informational text notes attached to accounts.
- Balance Assertions: Reconciliations asserting account balances.
- Other Directives: Events, commodity declarations, document linkages, etc.
Full Management Capabilitiesβ
Action buttons are compact, icon-only layouts tailored to each directive type:
- View Details: Click any card/entry to expand it and see full metadata, tags, and file locations.
- Edit (βοΈ): Open the directive in the transaction modal or editor. You can also right-click to open the file editor directly.
- Save as Snippet (π): (Transactions only) Save the selected transaction as a template to
snippets.beancountunder a custom name for easy replication later. - Delete (β): Safely delete directives directly from the stream (requires confirmation).
- Live Search: Instantly filters entries as you type in the search bar.
