What's New on Actual Budget: Your budget, saved correctly every time. We fixed a bug where editing your budget could save the wrong amount. If you were using English, Japanese, Korean, or Chinese, the saved number could end up 100 times too large — budget edits now save correctly in every language. On iPad, pressing Command-1 from the Savings tab could open the wrong screen, mistakenly opening a savings goal instead of taking you to the Overview. This is now fixed. VoiceOver users will notice swipe actions on expenses and bills are announced properly — "Mark as Paid," "Edit," "Delete," and "Duplicate" — instead of just "Selected." We also fixed a small labeling issue in the cash flow forecast, where the first week was shown as "Week 0" instead of "Week 1." Thank you for using Actual Budget! We're always working to make your budgeting experience smoother and more reliable.

What's New on Actual Budget: A cleaner, more native look. Search in Expenses and Income now uses Apple's own search field. On iPhone it sits right under the title; on iPad it lives in the toolbar in every orientation, and your search stays put when you switch tabs. The icon and color pickers for your savings goals are rebuilt in the new glass style, with a clear ring around your current choice in both light and dark mode. You decide about offers. A new "Offers & discounts" switch in Settings > Notifications turns promotional notifications off at any time.

What's New on Actual Budget: A faster start. Setting up on a new device now goes straight through, with no waiting on the first screen. And if you already have a budget saved, it is still there waiting for you when you open the app.

What's New on Actual Budget: You no longer have to type everything in. Import from a file: bring your transactions in from a file your bank exports - CSV, TSV, OFX, QFX, QIF, Excel, CAMT.053 and MT940. You pick the file, match the columns once, review what will be added, and confirm. Duplicates you already have are found and left unticked, rows that cannot be read are listed with their line number, and imported transactions arrive already sorted into categories. When a date could be read two ways, the app asks instead of guessing. Undo an import: every import is kept in Import History and can be removed in one step, exactly as it went in. Export to a file: send your transactions out as CSV or TSV from Settings - Data Management. Weekly summary: the weekly notification now opens a real summary of your last completed week - what you spent, how it compares with the week before, what is left to spend and what you saved. Bill reminders, budget alerts and savings milestones now open the screen they are about, too. Second device and reinstall: if you already use the app, installing it on another device - or reinstalling it - no longer starts you over. The app waits properly for your budget to arrive from iCloud and offers to continue with it. Income is no longer counted twice, one device no longer overwrites the other's budget, and doubled entries from before are cleaned up automatically. Tabs: the tab bar is now the system's own - all five tab names are always visible, and each tab keeps where you left it, so switching away and back no longer resets your scroll position or closes the search field in Expenses. iPad: the app now works held upright as well as sideways, with the full iPad layout in both. Also fixed: text that appeared incorrectly during setup, a blank screen that could appear right after a purchase, and a budget figure on the home screen that did not match the one beside it.

What's New on Actual Budget: This update is mostly about numbers being right. Debt payoff: Snowball and Avalanche were producing the same result, so comparing them told you nothing. Both strategies are now calculated properly and they differ the way they should. The projected payoff month was also coming out one month short on every screen, and that is corrected. Currency: when your language and your country did not match, money was formatted for the wrong country - Mexico was shown Spain's number format, Portugal was shown Brazil's. Money now follows your region. The Mexican peso is written as $ instead of MX$, and the yen, won and New Taiwan dollar no longer show decimal places in the widgets. Financial Wellness: the score on the home card and the score inside the details sheet could disagree with each other. They are one number again, and a sentence the app used to show alongside it was not true and has been removed. Expenses: a new Month / Year switch on the totals, so you can read a single month or the whole year. In the Recurring view you can now sort by cost and see what is actually taking the most. Also fixed: Home Screen widgets that showed no data, a duplicate notification permission request on first launch, and one screen that showed a dollar sign no matter which currency you use.

What's New on Actual Budget: Reliability work — and one change you will notice. We moved the request to rate the app. It no longer appears while you are still setting things up. It now appears only after the app has actually done something useful for you, and you can dismiss it without leaving what you were doing. This update also adds new internal diagnostics that help us catch slowdowns and crashes much faster, so real fixes reach you sooner. Two of the busiest screens were rebuilt to fit far more on one screen, and restoring a previous purchase is now a proper button that tells you what happened. What you will notice: - Restore Purchases is now a clear, separate button that confirms the result - Expenses and Income show far more at once, with search a single tap away - Amounts are formatted correctly for currencies that do not use decimals - The app reaches its first screen faster - Fixed text that could appear untranslated in some languages - Expenses added with Siri or Shortcuts appear straight away in a list you already have open - Widgets refresh when the app starts, not only when you come back to it - Removing a duplicate category no longer leaves its expenses without one Under the hood: - The rating request was removed from onboarding entirely - Smoother progress bars throughout setup and in the widgets - New internal diagnostics that show us where the app slows down or stops responding - More complete reporting when something goes wrong, so the real cause is found sooner Thank you for using Actual Budget! Your feedback shapes every update we ship.

What's New on Actual Budget: Adding an expense is now the fastest part of your day. We rebuilt manual entry around one idea: you should be able to log a purchase in a couple of taps, or without opening the app at all. **Faster expense entry:** - The title field suggests what you have entered before, so recurring purchases are one tap - Amount shortcuts built from your own spending history, in your own currency - Duplicate an existing expense by swiping or long-pressing it, dated to today and ready to save - The category is now suggested automatically from what you type, and it learns from your corrections. It works in every language the app supports, and it never overrides a category you picked yourself **Add expenses with Siri:** - Say "Add an expense to Actual Budget" and record it with the app closed. Siri asks for the amount and what it was for, and can take a category and a date - Available in the Shortcuts app with no setup, and it speaks your language **iCloud sync:** - Syncing between your iPhone and iPad is more reliable - The sync status is more accurate: it confirms with iCloud before showing Synced, and lets you know when your device is offline, so you are never left guessing **Stability:** - Fixed a case where the app could stay on the "Calculating budget" screen; if the calculation cannot finish, you now get a Retry button instead of an endless spinner - Faster, lighter launch for accounts with a lot of history - Additional stability improvements throughout the app Thank you for using Actual Budget! Your feedback shapes every update we ship.

What's New on Actual Budget: Faster to open, lighter to install. We went after the parts of the app that made it feel slow, and fixed the bugs we found while we were in there. **Performance:** - The opening screens are lighter and no longer run constant background animations, so you reach your budget faster - Long lists and category names appear noticeably quicker throughout the app - The download is about 25 MB smaller after removing components the app no longer used **Bug Fixes:** - Fixed a rare case where the app could stop responding while updating your recurring income and expenses - Fixed a related issue that could create duplicate entries for a single recurring payment - Additional stability improvements throughout the app Thank you for using Actual Budget! Your feedback shapes every update we ship.

What's New on Actual Budget: Smoother under the hood. This update is all about the parts you never see. We refined how the app starts up and runs, and fixed the issues we found along the way. **Performance:** - Behind-the-scenes refinements to how Actual Budget starts up and runs day to day **Bug Fixes:** - Fixed an issue that could cause the app to close unexpectedly right after launch - Fixed a problem in how notifications were handled - Additional stability improvements throughout the app Thank you for using Actual Budget! Your feedback shapes every update we ship.

What's New on Actual Budget: Built for everyone. This update brings full VoiceOver support to the heart of your budgeting experience. Your Safe to Spend dashboard, expenses, savings goals, and every home screen widget now speak clearly — balances and amounts are announced in your language and currency, progress bars read out exactly how much you've spent, and every button and icon describes what it does. Whether you're watching your budget or listening to it, tracking your money is now smoother, clearer, and more confident than ever. Accessibility isn't an extra for us — it's how a great finance app should feel. Thank you for being part of the journey; more thoughtful improvements are on the way.

What's New on Actual Budget: Your Chosen Currency Now Applies Everywhere This update fixes an issue where the currency you selected during setup was not always used throughout the app, along with a visual polish to your first-week cards. Currency Fix: The currency you choose during setup now applies consistently across the entire app -- your Safe to Spend amount, income, and savings goals all display in your selected currency Previously, some users saw their device's regional currency instead of the one they picked Visual Polish: Refined card styling in Light Mode for a cleaner, more consistent look during your first week Thank you for using Actual Budget!
