v1.0.7
Programmatic access arrives with the Push API and Python SDK, plus a new Audit Log to track every change across your budget.

v1.0.6
The Add Transaction form now remembers your choices, plays nicely on touch, and responds to the shortcuts you expect.

    Remembers your last transaction details

    Budgero now saves your most recent payee, account, and category so repeat entries start prefilled and faster.

  • New

    Global shortcut to Add Transaction

    Press Ctrl + Alt + T (⌘ + ⌥ + T on macOS) from anywhere to open the transaction form without leaving the keyboard.

  • Improved

    Ctrl + ⏎ / ⌘ + ⏎ submits the form

    Finish new transactions with Ctrl + ⏎ (⌘ + ⏎ on macOS) so keyboard flows match the rest of Budgero’s dialogs.

November 19, 2025
v1.0.5
Global drag-and-drop imports, smarter split transaction views, and hardened authentication logic make this release smoother and more reliable for everyone.
  • New

    Global Drag-and-Drop Imports

    You can now drag and drop CSV or PDF files anywhere in the app to trigger an import, making it faster to bring in your data.

    Split transactions now display correctly in quick views and have a polished layout on mobile cards, ensuring complex spending is easy to read on any device.

  • Fixed

    Authentication & Offline Stability

    Fixed issues with offline guard fallbacks and forced sign-out on expired tokens to ensure your session state remains consistent and secure.

  • Improved

    Backup language matches the app

    Self-host references were renamed to “Budgero Backup” across the import flow and docs, so new teams always see the terminology used in product.

November 13, 2025
v1.0.4
PWA updates now feel intentional: manual checks report back instantly and the in-app prompt only appears when a new build is ready to install.
  • Improved

    Streamlined app update flow

    Manual update checks surface clear status toasts and only prompt when a fresh build is available, so you always know whether Budgero pulled down anything new.

  • Fixed

    Stopped repeated reload loops

    Resolved a bug where the old update overlay reloaded the PWA multiple times after an install, keeping the refresh to a single, predictable pass.

November 11, 2025
v1.0.1
Transaction splits, the planning table, and the account list all get quality-of-life polish so budgeting is clearer the moment you open the app.
  • Improved

    Split rows now respect category changes, show clearer totals, and keep amounts in sync so you can break up purchases without surprise leftovers.

    Planning page table refresh

    The compact table view received spacing, typography, and highlight tweaks that make monthly plans easier to scan on both desktop and tablet widths.

  • New

    Account balances in the sidebar

    Desktop skips onboarding overlays

    The Electron build now bypasses the onboarding tour entirely, letting experienced users jump straight into their budgets.

  • Improved

    Simpler desktop About page

    We removed the manual service worker update button from desktop settings to avoid confusing actions that do not apply to native builds.

v0.8.0
Automations graduate to their own hub with recurring reminders, richer editors, and sync fixes so rules and schedules stay tidy across devices.

    Create recurring items from account activity

    Convert any transaction selection into a recurring template straight from account toolbars, pre-filling the editor so you can schedule paycheques and bills in seconds.

  • Improved

    Recurring editor usability upgrades

    The editor adopts our calendar picker with past dates disabled, responsive card actions, and mobile drawers that prevent buttons from spilling offscreen.

  • Fixed

    Offline sync no longer duplicates automations

    Replaying queued mutations now skips reapplying local inserts, so new rules and recurring transactions appear exactly once even after reconnecting.

September 26, 2025
v0.7.3
Minor patch that keeps your budget layout steady, smooths mid-sized screens, and tightens goal and transfer math.
  • Fixed

    Budget group visibility persists

    Collapsed and expanded category groups now sync to local storage so the budget table reopens exactly how you left it across reloads and tabs.

  • Improved

    Medium breakpoints polished

    Budget table and goal cards received responsive tweaks around tablet widths, preventing cramped totals and awkward wrapping.

    Accurate off-budget transfers

    Transfers directed to off-budget accounts correctly decrease Ready to Assign, keeping your cash flow math precise.

  • Improved

    Smarter theme switcher

    The appearance picker now previews palettes, manages data-theme attributes, and keeps light/dark controls close at hand.

  • Fixed

    Unstuck mobile date headers

    Dashboard transaction headers scroll with the list again so your view stays focused on the entries you are reviewing.

September 24, 2025
v0.7.1
Prebuilt analytics gets a mobile-friendly overhaul, compact charts, and drill-down pivots that surface every transaction behind the numbers.
  • New

    Prebuilt analytics responsive refresh

    Metric cards, chart filters, and detailed views now wrap neatly on smaller screens, leaving room for the mobile bottom nav and preventing cards from spilling offscreen.

  • Improved

    Compact chart axes

    Income vs Expense and Spending Over Time charts adopted compact K/M formatting and wider plotting areas so big budgets stay readable at a glance.

  • New

    Category pivot drill-down

    Click any monthly total to pop open a curated list of the underlying transactions, complete with account, memo, and amount details filtered by date, category, and accounts.

  • Improved

    Shared multi-select account/category controls keep filters aligned across analytics cards, and date presets now focus on 14/30/90-day windows for quick comparisons.

September 23, 2025
v0.6.1
Budget tables now adapt cleanly across viewports and onboarding stays out of the way once you are finished.
  • Improved

    Responsive budget layout refresh

    Category rows, group headers, and totals received a slimmer, stacked layout so memos truncate gracefully, metrics hug the right edge, and the table shrinks without clipping on narrow screens.

  • Improved

    Multi-month view access

    The multi-month planner is now reserved for spacious desktops (≥1600px) and each month card stretches independently, giving a clearer snapshot when you open the sheet.

  • Improved

    Persistent drag handles

    Drag-and-drop grips stay visible on desktop so reordering groups and categories is effortless, even with the tighter layout.

  • Improved

    PWA Install Prompt Disabled on iOS

    PWA install prompt from the setting page is now hidden on iOS devices as PWA installation is not supported on iOS. To install the app on iOS, users can use the "Add to Home Screen" option from the Safari share menu.

  • Fixed

    Onboarding respects completion

    Creating goals or categories no longer re-opens the onboarding flow once your profile is marked complete, keeping experienced users focused on budgeting.
