A schedule in Commander Finance represents one standing commitment: rent, a salary, a subscription. Each one records what recurs, how often, how much it usually is, and when it next lands. The Recurring page under Transactions collects them and adds up what you’ve committed to.

​
Where schedules come from

Schedules reach the page two ways:
  • Detection. Commander watches your transaction history for repeating charges and proposes them as candidates for you to confirm or dismiss. Each candidate carries a confidence rating, which rates the detection—how sure Commander is that the charge genuinely recurs—not the amount. Imported bank activity gives the detector the most to work with.
  • Manual entry. You create a schedule yourself with New schedule. This is the main path if you enter transactions by hand, since sparse history gives detection little to find.
Candidates aren’t schedules yet. They sit in a review queue, which appears only when candidates exist. See Managing recurring transactions for how to work through it.

​
Schedule statuses

The list of schedules filters by status:
  • Active—currently recurring. Grouped by when each one is next due rather than listed flat.
  • Paused—kept, with its history, but not tracked until you resume it.
  • Ended—reached its end date or its final occurrence.
  • Dismissed—a detected candidate you rejected. Dismissed entries are read-only; Reset suggestions re-runs detection and is the way to reconsider one.

​
What the page tells you

A header summarizes your commitments in four figures: Committed monthly and Expected income as separate totals—never combined into one net number—alongside an Active schedule count and a Needs review count of pending candidates. Amounts from other cadences are normalized to a monthly equivalent, so a yearly charge contributes a twelfth of its total. Below that, a 30-day horizon projects what’s coming. A toggle switches between Timeline, which plots occurrences and a running committed-flow line, and Calendar, which lays the same 30 days out in a weekday grid. Your choice persists between visits. When nothing is due in the next 30 days, the horizon names your next known charge instead.

​
Reading one schedule

Opening a schedule shows its expected amount, its cadence, its annualized cost, its start date and end condition, when it was last charged, and how many times it has been seen. Commander also flags a schedule whose recent charges run above its established baseline, which is how a quietly raised subscription price surfaces. A Recent charges section lists the transactions behind the schedule, newest first. When there are more than five, a Show all button carrying the total count expands the list, and Show less collapses it again.
