What's New

Hi, it's the minimal developer.

This time, categories got their own little book — and the card you pick a category from now looks the same in every ledger.

• Category Management in Settings is now a small book floating in the middle of the screen: two tabs on top, Expense | Income, with expenses split into Everyday and Travel. Tap a row to change its name, icon or color; long-press to delete.
• Sorting you can read at a glance: tap Sort and every row gets ≡ to drag and ↑ ↓ to tap. It saves when you let go, and order only changes within each section.
• Picking a category works the same in the main ledger, trip ledgers and shared ledgers: one card, with "+ Add category" everywhere, and a new category is picked for you right away. In trip ledgers, an expense category is ready from the start.
• Colors grow from 12 to 24 — twelve new wafu tones such as Koubai, Tsuyukusa and Wakatake. Choosing a color is a floating card too.
• Today's Spending in trip ledgers: a foreign-currency entry now has a small "≈" line under the amount in your home currency — just your share, at the rate locked in when you logged it.
• Settings › About has a new What's New: every release, one page each. It works offline.
• And an App Update row: when a new version is out it says so, and a tap opens the App Store.

Categories are like labels on drawers.

When the labels are clear, everything is easier to find.

Hi, it's the minimal developer.

The little card that floats up when you tap an account has grown: transfers, deposits and balance adjustments all happen right on it — no more trips to another page.

• Three buttons on the card: Transfer, Deposit / Withdraw and Adjust Balance. Tap one and another card floats up. Pick where the money comes from and where it goes right inside the card; the amount has a calculator.
• History: every entry for that account, newest first. Tap one to change it.
• Count in net worth, Archive and Delete are on the same card too.
• Tap an account in Overview or in Settings › Accounts — it's the same card either way.
• Credit cards get a small ⓘ: on the Credit Cards tab in Cards & Loans, and on the credit card section in Overview. It opens "How cards are counted" in seven short lines. Add a card and it shows up under Payment Method when you log. Once a card expires you can't pick it; set a later expiry month and it's back. Archiving or deleting a card never removes past entries.
• If you listen with VoiceOver: the handwritten lines in your Journal and in the letters from the developer now read out clean, one line at a time.
• A little oiling while I was at it: opening accounts and scrolling history feel lighter, and less common currencies keep up just as well.

Moving money between accounts is part of everyday life.

Now it all lives on one card, a tap away.

Hi, it's the minimal developer.

This version adds a small cabinet to your main ledger — open it and everything you have is right there. Cards & Loans gets a new tab too: Loans.

• Overview: top left of the main ledger, the third icon — the brown cabinet. It opens a full page: your net worth on top, three tabs below — Accounts, Debts, Next month. When you're done, the house at top left takes you back.
• One simple scale: under your net worth, what you still owe on loans sits on the left, and what's left after them on the right. This cycle's card spending is a running total, not debt, so it stays out.
• Tap an account and a small card floats up: the converted amount, the change since last month-end, and a "Count in net worth" switch.
• Next month: on the left, the money you can move right now; on the right, what's due next month. The two numbers sit side by side — the conclusion is yours to draw.
• Where your money is, what's on your cards and what's left on your loans are free to see. The deeper analysis and the Next month tab are Premium. Sections with nothing in them yet aren't veiled — they just sketch what's to come.
• Loans: a new tab in Cards & Loans. Enter the loan amount, rate, number of instalments and the first month — that's it. Add the origination fee and the effective rate is worked out for you. Every instalment paid earns a stamp, so what's left and when it ends are clear at a glance.
• Thinking of paying off early? Run the numbers first: pick a day and see before and after side by side, lock-in and penalty included. Paying off just part of it works too. Once you've decided, tap "Mark as Settled".
• "Try an Estimate" is always free. Save one loan for free; unlimited with Premium.
• Adding an account is now a card that floats up, with a calculator for the initial balance — the same from Settings or Overview.
• The Handbook has a new chapter, Overview: one page at a time, top to bottom, just like the screen.

Log long enough and the question changes from "how much did I spend this month?" to "how much do I actually have?"

This version keeps the answer in a cabinet. Open it when you want to look; close it when you don't.

Hi, it's the minimal developer.

This version adds a new notebook to your ledger — starting with credit cards.

• Cards and debts: one tap in Settings and a small notebook floats up. Card name, last four digits, statement day, expiry. Pick one of twelve colours and you'll know which card is which at a glance.
• This cycle, at a glance: every card shows what's been charged and how many days until it closes, with a running total across all your cards on top.
• Tap a card and the whole cycle is there: every charge, how many there are, what the last cycle came to, and how much of it was your own share. Two arrows page you back through earlier cycles — as far back as you have entries.
• Your card is there when you log: once you add a card it appears in payment methods, last four digits beside it. Just pick the one you actually used.
• It speaks up before the card runs out: once the expiry has passed, that card stops appearing in payment methods. Everything you've already logged stays exactly as it was. Set a later month and it's back.
• Put a card away, or remove it: everything you logged stays. It simply stops showing up next time.
• One card free; unlimited with Premium.
• Names and emoji travel with the person: what you change on this phone reaches your other one, and edits from both sides still merge cleanly.

I'm getting older, and borrowing has started to be part of my life —

the monthly bill, the statement day, and that one question: how much did I actually put on this card?

This version starts with credit cards. I've been living with it for a while. I hope you like it.

Hi! Minimal dev here.

Two things this time: the people in your books got faces, and there's a book inside the app.

• Meet the Inkfolk: for trip companions, shared-ledger members and your saved split contacts, tap "Change" and a sticker book opens — women, men, emoji. Tap one and it's on. 36 Inkfolk, each drawn stroke by stroke, no two alike.
• The face follows the person: member lists, who paid, who's in, settlements, the ledger chronicle, the trip journal, the travel notebook — you can tell at a glance who logged what. Rather keep things as they are? Do nothing: your emoji stays, now in the same round frame.
• Inkfolk are Premium, and you can try one on first: put it on, upgrade when you want to keep it, switch back to an emoji any time. Companions who haven't updated yet see the closest emoji.
• The Handbook: at the top of Settings, to the right of the title, you'll now find "Handbook". Tap it and a little notebook floats up. Nine chapters, 102 short entries, three steps at most each, every step with its own hand-drawn picture. Adding an entry, saying one out loud, the Main Ledger, Analysis, Reports, Trips, shared ledgers, Settings, widgets and alerts — flip the index tabs down the side, or just search for the thing you're after.
• Swipe the Main Ledger to change the day: swipe right for the day before, left for the day after, and it stops at today. With a date range picked, it moves to the neighbouring range of the same length. The week strip up top still changes whole weeks. (This came from a reader's letter: after changing weeks, going back up to pick a day felt clumsy.)
• Trip expenses open the same page from anywhere: from the trip journal, the expense list, the Main Ledger or an account's history — you land on the trip editor, with "Trip expense" and which day of the trip it was right at the top.
• Editing an expense in another currency keeps the rate from the day you logged it: fixing a note won't quietly re-run today's rate. Only when you change the currency itself does today's rate step in.
• The category chips for pre-trip costs: tap "Tickets" and you get Tickets. In the list, categories you made yourself show their real names and icons. If you installed the app very early on, Travel insurance and Visa quietly join your list.
• Trips that haven't started yet take entries now: while the departure is still ahead, tap + and put the deposit and the flights in.
• "Home" is now "Main Ledger", in all six languages. It was always a ledger; calling it Home only told you where it sat.

Drawing these faces, I kept thinking: the hard part of a ledger was never the numbers. It's the people.

Hi! Minimal dev here.

This time, your trip ledger finally lets people in — your companions log the same trip from their own phones.

• Invite real companions: tap "Invite companions" at the top right of a trip and send the link or QR code. They tear off the stub to join, then pick themselves on the list. From then on, who paid and who owes what looks the same on everyone's phone — and so does the settlement.
• What's yours stays yours: only split expenses sync. The coffee and souvenirs you bought for yourself never leave your phone.
• Everyone counts only their own share: trip totals, reports, the map, and the trip card on Home count just the spending that's yours. Splits you're not part of stay out of your ledger; to see them all, open "Splits" in the title bar — the ones without you say "You're not in this one."
• Who logged what, at a glance: entries from others show who recorded them, and the "Trip journal" lays out each day — who joined, who added an expense, who changed what — like a travel diary. If a companion uses a category you don't have, it simply shows as theirs; it won't land in your category list.
• It's diligent: it checks the moment you open a trip, again every half minute while you stay, and right away when you pull down. No signal? Keep logging — it sends on its own once you're back online.
• Not sure where to start? A "Companion guide" now sits at the top left of the trip list: seven short chapters, three minutes.
• The net worth card moves above the calendar, with a terracotta curve underneath showing the last six months at a glance. Account management gets the same curve.
• One month inside a multi-month budget can now be changed on its own. Want a little extra for the holidays in December? Tap that month and change it — no need to delete the whole budget and start over.
• The category part of the budget overview is calmer: folded, it lists only the categories that went over and sums up the rest in one line; unfolded, it follows your own category order, one line each.
• In Analysis, each category's amounts now wrap onto two lines, so the budget you set is always fully visible.
• Small touches: country and city cards on the trip map now note that the amount is for the whole trip; a custom date range on Home now draws spending only, just like every other day; weather stamps are included in backups; and the Japanese interface got another polish.

Keeping books alone is discipline. Keeping them together is chemistry.

Hi! Minimal dev here.

This update turns "budget" from a progress bar into a whole page.

• The budget card on Home is now a ruler: the red mark is today, the ink line is what you've spent. It tells you straight — how much per day until month's end — with the fixed charges still on your calendar already taken out.
• A new "Budget" tab in Analysis: open any month — say August, budget 30,000, what you spent, which days made the difference — all on one page. Every month of the year gets a little stamp: met, over, in progress. One glance.
• Trips keep their own book: switch to "Trips" and you're looking at that trip's budget, counted in the local currency, flights booked before departure included. Where the trip is and where the money is, on the same ruler.
• Two books, never mixed: your monthly budget never counts trip spending. If you travelled that month, a quiet line says so — "plus X on trips, not counted here."
• One more line in the monthly report: under "The ledger," a budget row shows how the month landed against what you set, in two sentences.
• Budgets by category: the total stays, and underneath you can split it — food, transport, each with its own little ruler. Beside each one it notes your average monthly spend over the past six months, so you don't have to guess.
• Analysis gets a category section: which one is moving fast, which has room to spare, in one sentence. After three months it'll also tell you how well your budget guesses hold up — and which category could spare a little for another.
• Budget management is now a year calendar: twelve months on one page, which ones are set and for how much, with consecutive months joined into one band. Tap a cell to edit or delete; tap an empty one to write a new budget.
• Small touch: Analysis remembers which tab you were on.

A budget isn't a test. It's a note to yourself.

Hi! Minimal dev here.

This update gives the subscription page a fresh binding — journal style.

• A new look: the two plans sit side by side, neat and calm, with a hand-written line beneath — "A whole year of days, bound into one book."
• A little book band: on special days, a small band wraps around the yearly card, like the paper bands on Japanese books. When you spot it, it's a good time.
• A button within reach: "Start Free Trial" moved up a step, right under your thumb.
• Two new keys on the calculator: AC clears everything, = gives you the total. Hop over to the note or change the category mid-sum — your total stays put.
• The trip-vs-daily pie now slices just right: how much was everyday, how much was travel — at a glance. In a month you stayed home, the whole circle is everyday, nothing more.
• A little oiling: the fine print now always tells you exactly where you stand.

On to a fresh page.

Hi, it's the Minimal developer.

This version, the app learned two rather human things: drafting your evening for you, and keeping a travel journal.

• Goodnight ledger: on a day you forgot to log anything, open the app at night and you'll find someone has already pencilled in a draft — your usual breakfast, that daily coffee, resting lightly on the page. Tap the right ones to ink them in, cross out the wrong ones, stamp the date and say goodnight. Ten seconds, and the day owes you nothing. Keep the reminder on and it'll tell you in the evening: your draft is ready.
• Travel journal: every trip is now a little book you can leaf through. A flyleaf with the flag and the flight route, one day per page, every entry written out as a sentence — even the weather gets stamped in, automatically. And once you're home, the back cover pastes in the ticket stub: one number, what the whole trip cost, kept safe.
• The trips book: all your trips, bound in one. Finished ones become ticket stubs sorted by year; the one you're on says "still on the road, day three"; the ones ahead wait with an unstamped seal. One page, everywhere you've been.
• A little oiling too: pages turn smoother, books open faster, and I checked all the small parts.

Goodnight — and safe travels.

Hi, it's the Minimal developer.

Small release this time. Two things — but I want to be clear about both.

• Your travel footprint now shows itself first. The map is clear — every place you've been, every flag you've planted, right there. The amounts stay behind a soft blur until you unlock them. The trip recap opens up the same way.
• The things you pay for before you leave — flights, hotels — now say their amount in the trip's own currency underneath. Book a room in dollars on a euro trip, and it tells you roughly what that is in euros. Add the lines up and you land exactly on the subtotal above.
• I've put a small counter by the door. It chimes at most once a day, and all it ever says is "someone came in today" — it doesn't remember who you are and it can't see your ledger. It's how I find out which screen people stop on. Whichever screen that is, it's usually the one I should make nicer next.

A small one. But that number finally speaks the right language.

Hi, I'm the Minimal developer.

An apology first — the updates have been coming thick and fast lately.

Nothing is broken. There is just so much I want to bring you. The moment I think of something I want to build it, and the moment it works I want it in your hands. If the notifications feel frequent, please bear with me. Every version only carries things I want to use myself.

This one re-bound the whole journal.

• The calendar is redrawn: no more of the system's blue one. No boxes — the numbers sit straight on the paper, one thin rule between each week, the way a real monthly page looks.
• The day you pick wears a hand-drawn red circle, as if you'd ringed it with a pen. Days you wrote on keep a small dot beneath the number; if today is still blank, that dot is hollow — waiting for you.
• Choosing a period was rebuilt too: today, this week, this month… each one now says underneath exactly which dates it means. Nobody remembers whether "last 7 days" includes today.
• Trips are ticket stubs now: the stub on the right carries what that trip cost. For trips abroad, a second line tells you roughly what that is in the currency you normally use.
• A trip's stage reads at a glance: not left yet, on the road, already home — and every page now says the same thing.
• Shared ledgers wear washi tape: one colour per book, and a column on the right for who's in it. The ones you started carry a small celadon seal.
• When you delete something, what appears is no longer a system alert but a card from the journal — one question, one consequence, two buttons.
• The date picker in Analysis and in your travel map is now that same piece of paper. Front to back, one voice at last.

When you open it, I hope every page looks like the same book.

Hi, I'm the Minimal developer.

This update did two things: taught it to listen until you're done, and gave it a new face.

• A brand-new app icon: a torn ticket stub with a small vermilion stamp. A trip paid for, written down — the icon finally wears the same clothes as the journal inside.
• Say several in one breath: "Breakfast 8, lunch 12, dinner with friends 45" — three entries, each with its own category, payment method and time.
• Pause to think, that's fine. A pause reads as a comma, not a full stop. Whatever you said before is still there.
• The words appear as you speak — and as the journal writes, you can feel the pen touch the paper under your fingertip.
• It fills in the rest: say "lunch 12 yesterday on my card" and the date and payment method settle themselves. Didn't mention how you paid? It picks the one you use most.
• The entry buttons follow your hand: left, center or right — whichever side your thumb likes (Settings → What you see).
• Accounts and recurring costs now greet you with a total first: your net worth, your fixed monthly spend — the whole picture, then the details.

One entry at a time is free. Saying several in one go and having them pulled apart is the Premium part.

Finish the sentence, and it's already written down.

Hi! It's your minimal developer.

This time, I wanted to say hello in person.

• A letter: when you open this version, a letter appears — written out one character at a time — about the kind of journal we're trying to make. It arrives just once; if you'd like to reread it, it lives in Settings, under About.
• A gentle word when a new version is ready: a little card appears at the top of your main ledger, whichever ledger you usually live in. Take a look, or dismiss it and it quietly steps aside.
• A little tidying: polished a few corners so everything runs smoother.

Thanks for reading this far. Go make yourself some tea.

Hi! Minimal developer here.

This update teaches your ledger to keep a diary.

• Journal: a third tab now sits beside Chart and List. Open it and your entries are written out by hand, one line at a time — "Morning, 07:20 — NT$ 20 went to a cup of black tea." If you left a note, the note becomes the subject; if you didn't, the category speaks instead. Tap any line to edit that entry. Free for three days.
• A quieter switcher: only the view you're on shows its name. The other two wait as icons.
• The same feel everywhere: editing an older entry now opens the same page-of-stamps picker as writing a new one.
• Two panels that fit: the question mark beside exchange rates, and joining a shared ledger by link, now float as a single sheet of paper — exactly as tall as they need to be.

Put the kettle on, then come back and read a page.

Hi! Minimal developer here.

This update is about the app coming to you, instead of you going to it.

• Reports now knock: when your weekly or monthly report is ready, you'll get a gentle note — Monday mornings for last week, the 1st for last month.
• Shared ledgers feel live: with the app open, an entry your partner just logged shows up within half a minute. No restarting, no refreshing.
• A fresh look for pickers: categories now open like a page of stamps in a journal, with matching cards for payment methods. Tap Sort and drag them right where you want.
• Ledger traces: a row of seven little squares now sits beside your total — your last seven days, with a small blue stamp on each one you logged. Tap it for the whole month, your streak and your milestones. It collects; it never nags.
• Comparisons that keep up: jump back to any day or stretch of days and it finds the matching stretch before it — tap the 15th and it lines up the 14th; pick a week and it takes the week before.
• Plenty of small polish along the way.

Put the kettle on — the numbers will keep themselves.

Hi, it's the Minimal Expense developer.

This time I opened up all three reports and added ten new sections. They used to tell you how much you spent. Now they tell you whether that's fast or slow — compared to your own usual.

• Weekly report, three new sections: when you actually log things, how this week compares to your usual week, and what all the small change adds up to.
• Monthly report, four new sections: counts as well as amounts, how complete your ledger is, how much of this month was already decided, and which fixed cost quietly went up.
• Insights, three new sections: what's still uncategorised, which category is running faster than usual, and what started becoming a monthly bill in the last six months.
• Shared ledgers now keep a chronicle: who recorded or changed what, and when. Both of you can see it.
• Shared ledgers got more diligent. They used to wait for a nudge; now they look on their own — when you open the app, open the ledger, pull down, or just sit on that page. Whatever the other person wrote a moment ago is already there when you look up.
• And if iCloud runs out of room, it tells you where to clear a little. A shared ledger takes up less space than one photo.
• Shared fund entries can be edited now. Before, a typo meant deleting and starting over.
• Added an undo: if you restore the wrong backup, you have seven days to go back.
• Three bugs caught: the closing line repeated itself when browsing past months, the days-logged count was wrong, and fixed costs were leaking into your logging habits.

The reports got thicker, but a section with nothing to say still won't show up. That part hasn't changed.

Hi, I'm the Minimal developer.

This release turns "logging on your own" into "two of you can, too." Shared ledgers are here — still in beta, so I wanted to say that up front.

• Shared ledgers: keep one ledger with family, a friend, or your partner. Send them a link and you're in — no account, no friend requests. Every entry either of you logs shows up on both phones.
• Shared money is kept apart: it never mixes into your own ledger. Your reports, budget and analysis stay exactly as clean as before.
• Recurring items now do quarterly, half-yearly and yearly, not just monthly. Set that annual insurance once and forget it.
• Fixed costs in reports are now a monthly average: a $360 yearly bill counts as $30 a month, so the percentage finally makes sense.
• The weekly and monthly report entries now sit side by side as two small cards. Much more room to breathe.
• Two bugs caught: a far-off end date used to write dozens of future entries into your ledger all at once, and list cards were missing a bite out of each corner.

Shared ledgers just learned to walk and still trip now and then. If something looks odd, write to me from inside the app.

Hi, it's the Minimal Developer.

No new features this time. The whole release is about letting Deep Insights sit still.

• Deep Insights stops restarting itself: open it, read at your own pace — and every half minute it used to quietly reload from scratch and send your scroll position back to the top. I finally caught why. While adding up your money it was also writing things in the background, and each write knocked the page over. It only reads now.
• Easier on battery and data: with no connection (flight mode, abroad, a locked-down office network) it kept retrying the same request — over 300 times in 25 seconds, measured. Now one failure buys a minute of quiet.
• Two share buttons put away: the one in Deep Insights, and the one on "The one who logs" in the monthly report. "Share this month" at the end of the report stays. One per report is enough.

That's the report. Sometimes the way to make something better is to take things out.

Hi, it's the Minimal Developer.

Rather a lot this time. In one line: your ledger has started talking back.

• A weekly report, every Monday: where last week went, how many days you logged. It shows up on its own. No waiting for month end.
• A thicker monthly report: new "An ordinary month" separates trips and big one-offs from the rest; "The one who logs" shows what time of day you tend to write things down; and it now compares against the same month last year. It also picks one note you wrote yourself and prints it, word for word.
• Deep Insights, rebuilt: it now answers just two things — how far into the month you are (measured against your own past months on the same day, not against other people), and the days left (what's still going to be charged before month end). You can open it without a subscription.
• Your ledger is searchable: search came to the transaction timeline, and matched words get underlined so you can see why a record turned up.
• Trip ticket stub: when a trip ends, a stub appears in your ledger — departure, return, and how much you logged. Tap to look back, or tear it off. During a trial there's also a short checklist of what you haven't tried yet.
• Tidying up: two phrases were missing their translations, so non-Chinese readers saw Chinese; and a few lines in Settings even I couldn't understand, now written in plain words.

That's the report. One thing I learned building it: keep a ledger long enough and the numbers start speaking for themselves.

Hi! It's your minimalist developer.

This update brings a big one: Accounts. Wallet, bank, e-wallet—give each its own home, and keep an eye on every balance while you track.

• Accounts arrive: Create bank, cash, or e-wallet accounts in Settings, each with its own currency and starting balance. Your yen cash finally has a home.
• Pick an account as you record: A new "Account" field shows where each expense comes from. Skip it and everything works exactly like before.
• Transfer, deposit, adjust: Move money between accounts, withdraw cash for later, or adjust a balance that drifted—none of it touches your spending stats. Clean numbers, always.
• Net worth at a glance: A new card on your home ledger totals all accounts in your main currency. Don't want it? Switch it off.
• Smarter reports: Monthly reports gain "Net Worth" and "Account Ranking," Year in Review charts your year's highs and lows, and Insights tells you—for every 100 you earned, how much you kept.
• A little oiling: Top bar buttons now share one consistent journal look, and subscribers no longer see a flash of the report card at launch.

Where your money lives is now up to you.

Hi! Minimal developer here.

This is our biggest update yet — the whole ledger got rebound, with quite a few new pages inside.

• A brand-new journal look: warm paper tones and a terracotta seal across the entire app, soft Japanese-inspired category colors, and dark mode retuned page by page.
• Monthly Report: on the 1st of each month, get a little report — spending trend, category ranking, a rhythm calendar, and a one-line summary.
• Year in Review: a once-a-year ritual. Flip through your year and share it as a beautiful card.
• Trip Recap, fully redesigned: page turns, seal stamps, paper texture — a proper keepsake for every journey.
• Insights are live: get a nudge when a category runs hot, see cross-month trends at a glance, and view all fixed expenses in one place.
• Transaction search: notes, categories, payment methods, amounts — find any entry in seconds.
• PDF export: a printable report with summary and full transaction table.
• Daily reminder + logging streak: a gentle knock to help the habit stick.
• Bug fixes: the "include trip expenses" switch now keeps every stat in sync.

Big makeover, same trusty ledger. Thoughts? Write me anytime.

Hi! Minimal developer here.

Taught voice logging a new trick this time, and gave the Settings page a museum-worthy makeover.

• Voice now understands payment methods: say "lunch 120, card" and it logs it to your credit card. It recognizes your custom payment methods too, and learns your habits the more you use it.
• Headphones welcome: voice logging used to play deaf sometimes when you wore headphones. Found the culprit—headphone mics are slow to wake up. Now it waits patiently, and switches to the phone mic if needed.
• Settings got a new outfit: numbered sections, fine lines, just-right breathing room, and a tiny red seal stamp. Hope it makes you smile every time you visit.

That's all—off to brew some tea to celebrate.

Hi! It's the Minimalist Developer.

This time I opened a new door for payment methods, and gave the buttons a fresh look.

• Tap into payment methods: in Analysis, tap any payment method to see exactly what you paid for with it this period—just like category details.
• New button colors: a "Button colors" option now lives in Settings. Pick from Still Lake, Dusk Clay, Moss Light, or Slate & Coral—all tuned to feel right in both light and dark mode.
• A little bug squashed: "Show budget" sometimes forgot your choice. Now it remembers, like it should.

Pick a color you love—even bookkeeping can have a mood.

Hi, it's the Minimalist Developer.

This update brings something I've wanted for a long time—bookkeeping just by talking!

• New Voice Entry: Say "lunch, a hundred and twenty," and the amount and category fill in automatically. Just confirm and save.
• Learns your habits: It gradually remembers how you categorize things—even your own custom categories—so it gets smarter over time.
• Works with headphones: Wired or Bluetooth, just speak into your earbuds.
• Stays on your phone: What you say is never uploaded to the cloud. Private and free.
• Anywhere you need it: Available in both your main ledger and travel ledgers—the button sits right above the plus sign.

When you don't feel like typing, just say it. I'm off to grab a coffee.

Hi, it's the Minimalist Developer.

This time I put on my reading glasses and checked the trip book's numbers one by one, so they all add up right.

• "Spent" is more accurate: it used to fold in income, and count split expenses in full—now it only counts the share you actually paid.
• Foreign currency fixed: log an expense in another currency on a trip, and the total, budget, spending breakdown and daily totals all convert correctly—no more numbers in the wrong currency.
• Steadier currency switching: change the currency and tap Save right away—the numbers stay correct (no need to press "Done" first).

Numbers add up, mind at ease. I'm off to put my glasses away.

Hi, it's the Minimalist Developer.

This time I sewed a little pocket into your ledger—now you can tuck receipts and transfer screenshots into every entry.

• Photos on any entry: After a transfer or a card payment, drop the screenshot right onto that entry. If someone ever says "I didn't get it," just pull it up and check—no more scrolling one by one.
• Photos on settlements too: In the settlement report, every "who pays whom" line has a spot on the right for a transfer screenshot. Who's paid and who hasn't—crystal clear.
• Easy on the eyes: Thumbnails and the full-screen viewer share the same calm, minimal look. Tap to zoom in.
• Premium iCloud backup: With Premium, your photos back up to iCloud too—switch phones without losing a thing.

Tuck away every little receipt. I'm off to tidy my own drawer.

Hi! I'm the minimalist developer.

Caught two bugs hiding deeper than usual. Trip ledger and Analysis page now behave a bit better.

• Money you fronted no longer counts as yours: in a trip ledger, if you paid but didn't take part in the split, it used to still show up in your daily total. Now it's properly excluded — whoever spent it owns it.
• Analysis page actually responds now: in the Payment Method tab, switching between Main / Trip / Merged used to leave the data frozen. Fixed — it follows you now.

Back to digging through the corners for more bugs.

Hi! I'm the minimalist developer.

Snuck in some useful things this update — hoping your trip budgeting gets a little smoother.

• New ∞ button in every trip ledger: tap it and a currency converter floats up. Type an amount, see it convert instantly. Works like a calculator too.
• Currency selection actually works now: tapping NTD used to leave the display stuck on CNY — and save the wrong one too. Fixed. What you pick is what you get.
• No more blank screen when you return: viewing a past date, switching apps, then coming back used to show "no expenses." That bug quietly got caught.
• Dark mode looks sharper: the currency converter card no longer blends into the background, and the numbers got a slimmer, more refined typeface.
• Swept up a few small bugs hiding in the corners.

Alright, I'm off to hide the next surprise.

Hey, it's the Minimal Developer.

A user emailed me about a few bugs in the trip settlement report. Getting caught with missed bugs is a little embarrassing — but mostly I'm just happy. This version exists because of you.

• Currencies back in their right places: Each expense now displays in its own currency before being converted to the trip's primary currency. No more mismatched labels.
• No more unnecessary round-trips: If your expense was already in your primary currency, the subtitle now shows that exact amount — no detour through the trip currency that leaves you with weird decimals.
• Detail sheet behaves too: Every expense and split amount now uses its own transaction's currency, instead of getting overwritten by the trip's default.

Every entry finally knows who it is.

Hey, it's the Minimal Developer.

I unified how you close pages in the app — just swipe down, and you're back. No button hunting needed.

• Swipe to close, anywhere: Timeline, Split History, Settings, and Analysis — all four pages now close with a simple downward swipe. That little bar at the top? That's the hint.
• Fewer buttons, cleaner look: Removed the redundant "Done" and "Back" buttons. Less clutter, more breathing room.
• Timeline tidied up too: Node colors got a tech-inspired refresh (indigo in dark mode, cyan in light), daily totals are bolder, and entries with unknown times now show "—" instead of 00:00.

One less button. One more moment of calm.

Hi! I'm the Minimal Developer.

Ever wondered what all your spending would look like if you lined it up end to end? I wondered too — so I built it. The Transaction Timeline puts every purchase and income in order, like flipping through a journal of your financial life.

• New Transaction Timeline: Tap the clock icon in the top right, and every transaction — from your main ledger and trips — lines up in chronological order along a clean vertical thread. Tap any entry to expand it: notes, currency conversion, transaction ID, all there waiting for you.
• Pre-trip expenses, now complete: You can now add pre-trip costs when editing existing trips too — that suitcase you bought, the flight you booked weeks early. More categories are available so you'll always find the right one.

The money's already gone. The least we can do is remember it well.

Hi! I'm the Minimal Developer.

Long time no see — hope everyone's been doing well!

Life got a little busy for a while. My desk ended up with a small pile of sticky notes, each one saying "remember to fix this." They sat there for a bit. But recently I made some tea, sat down, and worked through them one by one.

This update is all about making your travel amounts finally settle down — locked in the moment you record, so no matter what the exchange rate does tomorrow, that entry stays exactly as you wrote it.

• Travel amounts stay put: The converted amount is locked at the time of recording. No more mysterious number changes when exchange rates move overnight.
• Smarter rate updates: Exchange rates now refresh only once per day instead of every time you open the app — saving battery and data.
• Old records auto-patched: Previous travel transactions that missed the lock-in will be quietly filled in the background. You won't notice a thing, but the numbers will be more accurate.

Sticky notes cleared. Mind at ease.

Hi! I'm the Minimal Developer.

This update adds two home screen widgets: one gets you into logging faster, and one lets you glance at this month’s spending without opening the app.

• Quick Add: Tap a frequent category to open the expense screen with that category already selected; tap “More” to jump straight to the category picker. Then enter the amount and save—no hunting for the right screen inside the app.
• Spending Map: Shows this month’s total, how it compares to last month, and a mini breakdown by category. If there’s nothing to show yet, you’ll see a clear empty state instead of a confusing blank.
• Language stays in sync: After you change the app language, widget labels update too (usually after you next open the app or the system refreshes widgets).
• Numbers follow your ledger: Widgets read the same shared data as the app, so new entries show up after you’ve logged them.

Two small helpers on your home screen—less friction, same habit.

Hi! I'm the Minimal Ledger developer.

This update focuses on polishing the “quick entry” feel and improving the Trip Ledger flow—less tapping around, more logging smoothly.

• Save & add another, faster: The number pad now has “Save” and “Save & New” actions, so you can keep logging without constantly closing and reopening.
• Trip expense details in one tap: In the Trip Ledger, tap the total trip expense to jump straight into that trip’s expense list.
• Edit from the daily list: In the trip’s daily expense list, tap an item to edit it directly.
• Faster amount editing: When you open an edit screen, the calculator automatically focuses on the amount so you can change numbers right away.
• Clearer category details: Transaction rows now show category icons, improved numeric alignment, and a proper loading state for currency conversion.

That’s it for this round. You log the numbers — I’ll keep the app feeling smooth.

Hi! I'm the Minimal Ledger developer.

This update adds a much-requested feature: you can now tap Total Expense or Total Income to see the full list. I also fixed some small language-switching details.

• Tap to view details: On the summary card, tap "Total Expense" or "Total Income" to open the corresponding list. See every transaction and tap to edit any entry.
• Income list at last: Before, you could record income but had no easy way to view it all. Now tap Total Income to see your income list and edit individual entries.
• Friendlier empty state: If you have no income or expense records yet, you'll see helpful hints and an "Add one" button to get started.
• Better language consistency: Detail sheet titles and the "approx." label in conversion now follow your app language correctly.

That's all for this round. Income has its home now.

Hi! I’m the Minimal Ledger developer.

This update focuses on polishing the Analysis screen and the add-transaction flow, with a handy improvement in Settings too.

• Clearer Analysis screen: Scope switches (Main / Trip / Combined) are easier to read, and light mode contrast is more comfortable for scanning numbers.
• Better tap feel: Switching analysis scope now gives subtle feedback, so interactions feel more confident.
• More practical Settings: You can now tap to copy the app version in About, making bug reports and version checks easier.
• Smoother input flow: In both regular and trip transactions, focusing on notes now collapses the calculator automatically for a cleaner editing experience.
• Leaner labels: A few Analysis labels are simplified so the UI looks cleaner.
• General polish: I tuned a few small parts under the hood to keep things stable.

Update complete. I’m grabbing a sip of water before the next tiny polish round.

Hey there! I'm the Minimal Ledger developer.

This release smooths out the analysis and settings screens, and makes sharing settlement reports feel more natural; a few follow-up tweaks are in here too.

• Smarter share labels: The share button now says "Share with travel mates" for trips and "Share with friends & family" for everyday splits, so the wording fits the context.
• Smoother analysis switching: When you switch between main ledger, trip, and combined views, data refreshes correctly—no more lag or wrong numbers.
• Analysis feels snappier: Charts and data show as soon as you open the analysis screen, and switching tabs is more responsive.
• Ready-to-use split categories: Added default categories like dining, household, entertainment, and gifts so you can start splitting right away.
• Cleaner settings: Language and theme now use a Picker for a more intuitive, system-native feel.
• Handier About section: Added "Rate the app" (opens App Store review) and "Send feedback / request a feature" (email the developer); version now shows the actual app version (e.g. v1.1).
• Restart reminder: After changing language, you'll see a reminder to restart the app so the new setting takes effect.
• General polish: Tuned up the internals so the app runs more reliably.

That's all for now—time to stretch.
