Solid app - I echo others statements on this and am seriously considering switching to this from a spreadsheet for the long term; I tried a similar thing for my own finances (spreadsheet -> own app), but it was _far too tedious_ trying to get all the various financial bits worked out, so this is a huge savings in time. Also, the plan together feature seems to be a solid feature overall so far, and it's really helping my partner with financial anxiety be able to even _look_ at our finances without breaking down so far.

Two things I noticed, one is a minor visual bug and the other is a potential win (unless I missed it entirely, in which case disregard):

- it'd be nice to have a feature to do one-off expenses with greater ease, applied to a subset or all plans right off the bat, the idea being I'd like to see the effect of a spontaneous / fun buy and its greater impact on my plans at that moment (thinking really casual FI where me being off 1-2 years isn't a major dealbreaker);

- the promo image under the `Plan Together` summary for mobile has the app layout _behind_ the device notch when it handles it correctly.

Glad you're enjoying it so far! For one-off expenses, I'm assuming you've noticed that the plan interface has all the expandable columns (accounts, income, expenses, assets, etc.), and that you can create new expenses on the fly by adding them from the expenses column, setting frequency to once, and picking which year to throw it into? Or are you saying that's fine but you'd like a way to propagate specific items from one plan to another/all? If the latter, I'm planning to add something for that: https://changemap.co/projectifi/projectifi/task/5878-add-abi...

And thanks for the heads-up! That's what the mock-up generator I used produced and I don't have an iPhone so I wasn't 100% sure how it _should_ look haha. I'll take a note to go back and adjust.

That was it, the latter feature! Thanks for letting me know that's in the works, that was the only thing I wished was available.
