A few things to know.

Does Money Manager already support salary-day months?

Yes. Realbyte documents a configurable monthly start date. Rupya offers one too; the difference is how your personal ledger, accepted shared costs and summary emails work together.

Can I keep using Money Manager while I try Rupya?

Yes. Importing an exported file into Rupya does not delete or change the entries in Money Manager. You can try Rupya with a copy of your history.

Which file can I import?

Use the transaction spreadsheet exported by Money Manager by Realbyte. Rupya accepts its .xls, .xlsx and compatible .csv files up to 10 MB, with a preview before anything is saved. A native database backup is a different file.

Is Rupya made by Realbyte?

No. Rupya is an independent product. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Realbyte, the maker of Money Manager.

If Rupya feels right

Your history can come too.

Bring your Money Manager export into Rupya. Look it over first, then decide what to keep.

  1. 1

    Bring the spreadsheet.

    Export your transactions from Money Manager by Realbyte, then open Import in the Rupya web app. Use .xls, .xlsx or compatible .csv, up to 10 MB.

  2. 2

    Make it yours.

    Review the entries, choose accounts and categories, and enter each account’s balance today. Leave any account out; its entries and related transfers stay out too.

  3. 3

    Import when you’re ready.

    Subcategories come across. Already-imported entries are recognised. Changed your mind? Undo the import from its history.

Import your file Create an account

Import opens in the web app and requires a Rupya account. Your Money Manager app stays untouched.

More about balances, categories and undo

Categories match by name, ignoring emoji and capitals. You can choose an existing category or bring one across as new. Subcategories keep their parent category.

Today’s balance is the number you can check. Rupya works backwards through each account’s history to calculate the opening balance that matches it. Two file accounts cannot share a single Rupya account.

Undo removes the import’s entries and restores its balance changes. Newly created accounts and categories are removed when nothing else uses them. When imports share an account, undo the newer one first.

Later exports can be imported again without duplicating recognised entries. A file with nothing new stops at the preview. You can also export your Rupya ledger to Excel or CSV whenever you like.
