Manage your tags
Change a tag's color, rename it, archive it so it leaves your lists, or delete it from every transaction.
Updated October 11, 2026
The Tags page lists every tag in your budget file. Use it to change a tag's color, rename it, archive it or delete it.
Open the Tags page
- Select Settings in the sidebar (on a phone, select the More tab, then Settings).
- In the Tags card, select Manage tags.
Tags are in A to Z order. Each row shows the tag's color, its name, a preview chip, the number of transactions that have it (such as "4 txns"), an Archive button and a trash icon.
The page has no button to add a tag. Create tags where you use them. See Tag transactions.
Change a color
- Select the color button at the left of the tag.
- Choose a color: Red, Orange, Amber, Green, Teal, Blue, Violet, Pink, Brown or Gray.
A new tag gets the first color in that order that no active tag uses. When all ten are in use, it gets the color used least.
Rename a tag
- Select the tag's name.
- Enter the new name.
- Press Enter, or select somewhere else.
A name can have up to 40 characters and cannot match another tag, ignoring capitals. If a name breaks either rule, a message appears above the list and the old name returns. An empty name also keeps the old name.
Archive a tag
- Select Archive on the tag's row.
The tag moves to the Archived (N) section at the bottom of the page. Select the section to open it. Select Unarchive to move a tag back.
An archived tag no longer appears in the lists you use to add tags, in the filters on Transactions, or in schedules and rules. Transactions that already have the tag keep it and still show its chip. The Spending report's filter list still includes archived tags.
If you create a tag with the name of an archived tag, ignoring capitals, the app restores the archived tag instead of making a second one.
Delete a tag
- Select the trash icon on the tag's row.
- Select Delete tag.
The dialog first states how many transactions have the tag. A banner afterward reports how many transactions it was removed from.
Rules that add the deleted tag stay in your rules list, where the tag shows as "deleted tag". They skip it without an error.
