Single-field form.
Save
Rename propagates to every transaction, picker, budget and report immediately.
Frequently asked
Can I edit the "Unknown" category?
No. It shows a "System" badge in place of edit/delete actions — it cannot be renamed, deleted or capped.
Will renaming break a per-category budget cap?
No. The cap stays attached to the category id, just with the new label.
