What are skipped weeks?
A “skipped week” happens when you don’t create a budget week in Weekly. On your dashboard, it will appear as Skipped in your week timeline. Skipped weeks can leave gaps in your history and affect your reports.
Why fill them in?
- Accurate insights: Reports and Safe-to-Spend work best with complete history.
- Consistency: Each week builds on the last, so filling gaps keeps your rollover amounts aligned.
- Flexibility: New users can also backfill past weeks to start with history already in place.
How to fill in a skipped week
- Go to your Dashboard.
- Look for any weeks marked Skipped.
- Tap the skipped week.
- Tap Create Week.
- Review the details:
- Weekly Spending Limit (this matches your usual budget setup).
- Rollover Amount (any funds that would carry forward).
- Rollover On/Off toggle (choose whether to roll this week’s leftover into the next).
- Tap Create Week to confirm.
Once created, you can add spending transactions just like any other week.
Filling in past weeks (for new users)
If you’re just starting with Weekly, you can go back and create weeks before your signup date. This gives you a few weeks of history right away, so you can start with insights instead of an empty dashboard.
- Simply scroll back in your timeline and tap on any blank week.
- Follow the same Create Week steps as above.
Tips
- If you truly didn’t spend that week (e.g. you were traveling and covered by other funds), you can still create the week and leave it at $0.
- You can always adjust categories and transactions later.
