    Thanks for the suggestion! Yep, this definitely makes sense – right now, we auto-detect certain words like “dinner”, but we don’t do any intelligent matching based on your past expenses. I’m not sure how technically involved this would be, but I’ll add it to our list of possible improvements for the future :)

    +3, it is a pain to select "Groceries" each time when entering "Coldstorage" or "Fairprice". Or "Healthcare" for "Doctor". Or Taxi for "Grab"...
    The app could simply provide these smart categories like autocompletion works for IDEs, so the user can easily select among several candidates (if any), or opt out of the classification (but probably never).
    This shouldn't be too difficult to implement this. If you open source your code I am happy to do it.
    It would also help make custom categories scalable and easily reused.

    Great idea! To be honest, it’s a lot of extra work to create a custom user-by-user system (maybe a good idea for the Pro version?), so that’s not likely in the near term. But if you have suggestions for words to add, please feel to email us at support@splitwise.com or add them to the comments. We also review the system periodically and add new “magic” words when we think of ones to add.

    Best,
    Jon

    When we enter a supermarket name, and then manually assign a category, Splitwise should learn the association and associate it similarly for subsequent entries.
