What's New

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.
