◎ Rednote: HeyCost 记账
more 做生意的人，支出和收入会很频繁，流水多，和其他日常消费混到一起感觉不太好，如果能切换账本就好了
Developer Response 你好👋～目前还没有多账本的支持计划，HeyCost 目标还是保持一个相对简洁和轻量的记账体验，您可以试试专门建一个生意的一级分类来做单独记录试试看呢

很喜欢整体设计，记录流程轻量、清爽，AI 自动识别也很适合快速记账。目前最希望增加的是「预算 / 额度管理」功能：可以为不同分类设置月度预算，并在每次记账后显示剩余额度。这样不只是记录花了什么，也能知道这个月还能花多少。如果能支持类似「吃喝、出行、体验、固定支出」这类自定义预算桶，就更适合长期使用了。
Developer Response 明白的，预算是一个很复杂且庞大的模块，这个我们近期也在着重思考如何能把这类功能做的更易用，感谢您的建议❤️
