When you create a pod, or anytime you click into an existing pod,
the rule panel gives you the option to set a target balance.
What a target balance is (and isn’t)
A target balance is purely visual.
It does not trigger automations
It does not move money
It’s simply a way to track progress toward a goal
Think of it as a reference point, not a rule.
How it works
Once a target balance is set:
You’ll see a horizontal progress meter
The meter fills up as the pod balance grows
You can instantly see:
Your current balance
How close you are to your goal
When target balances are most useful
Target balances shine when you’re saving or accumulating over time, like:
Vacations
Holiday spending
Bonuses
Large upcoming purchases
Emergency or buffer funds
They give you clarity without adding complexity.
Totally optional
Setting a target balance is never required.
Some pods don’t need goals
Some money just needs to flow
Use targets only where they add clarity for you
Sequence stays flexible either way.
