sycamore vs katydid — which lives where

sycamore is the ledger — every transaction, ever. katydid is the recurring-expense monitor — fixed and variable bills only. they share data but answer different questions.

3 steps~2 min
  1. 1

    do you want to see one transaction?

    sycamore. the ledger has every entry, searchable by description, vendor, category, or amount.

  2. 2

    do you want to see what bills repeat every month?

    katydid. it's the monitor for fixed and variable recurring expenses (rent, utilities, software). doesn't track one-offs.

  3. 3

    what about the p&l?

    sycamore. p&l aggregates every entry — recurring or not — into one view of revenue minus expenses for the period.

    tip

    if a bill is recurring, log it once in katydid and it posts to sycamore each month automatically. if it's a one-off, log it in sycamore directly. don't log the same bill in both rooms.
