The register is the heart of Books. It lists every transaction across all your accounts and budget items. Use it to trace an account’s balance over time and spot missing or duplicate transactions.
Show a running balance
Pick a single account in the Account filter and a Balance column appears. It runs across that account’s whole history, starting from its opening balance, so the totals stay correct even when you also filter by date. The latest row matches the account’s current balance.
Track your statement with the cleared balance
Filter that same single account to Cleared transactions and the Balance column becomes a running total of only the cleared ones. That’s the figure that should match your bank statement, which makes it handy while reconciling.
