Quick Start — Zero to Dashboard in 5 Minutes

This is the fast-track version. For a more detailed walkthrough with screenshots of every step, see the Onboarding guide.

  1. Install or open the app

    Download Acclo IQ for macOS, Windows, or Linux. Or open the browser version — no install required. Click Get Started on the welcome screen.

  2. Create an account

    Go to Settings > Accounts > Add Your First Account. Enter a name (e.g., “Chase Checking”), your bank name, and select the account type. Click Import CSV when done.

  3. Import a CSV from your bank

    Select the format profile that matches your bank (auto-detected for major banks). Upload your CSV file. The app previews the transactions, flags duplicates, and shows you what’s new. Click Import to confirm.

  4. Check your dashboard

    Go to Dashboard. Your spending summary, trend charts, and category breakdowns are ready — the rule engine categorized your transactions automatically.
