Original release notes
Sharing with someone, done properly. • Combine your finances — one pass when you go full-share. Choose which accounts belong to the household, and decide the budget to keep where you both tracked the same category. • See who added what. Every shared transaction shows the person who added it, and the household split now has a column for each of you instead of one lump. • Keep things back. Hide a category, an account, a bill, an investment account, a mortgage, a retirement plan, a goal, or a single transaction. Anything you keep private is removed from their device on the next sync. • New to the app, but not to each other? If one of you has already entered years of history, you can now hand all of it across — and a month they already have is never counted twice. • Net-worth snapshots sync to your household. • Rename anyone in your household, and the name follows them onto every screen. ONE-TIME EXPENSES Saving for a wedding, a ring, a car? Plan it once and it stays out of your monthly budget — and you can log one you have already paid in a single save. REPORTS Report PDFs are real documents now, with selectable, searchable text instead of a picture of a screen. IMPORTING Spreadsheets (.xlsx) open directly, OFX files work on iPhone, and exports from European banks import at the right amounts. NOTIFICATIONS AND HAPTICS Bill reminders arrive spread out rather than a dozen in the same second, and the app is quieter — one buzz per action, and nothing announcing what is already on your screen. FIXES • Typing 4000 into an amount field could save $40.00. • The Budget tab left split transactions out of Spent, so it disagreed with Home, Trends and every report. • Charts no longer sit blank for a moment when a screen opens. • Mortgage interest showed "—" for people who really had paid it. • Faster taps and charts on Home, Budget and every drill-down. SOMEWHERE TO ASK • A help centre built into the app — 129 answers across 20 topics, 30 troubleshooting walk-throughs, and search that actually finds them. • Ask a question, report a problem or suggest an idea without leaving the app. • A real person answers, and the reply comes back inside the app under Help → Your messages. BILLS One screen for the month — what's paid, what's left, and every bill as a tile. Bills that repeat every two weeks now show every occurrence, not just the next one. INVESTMENTS A holding sho…
