1.73 Apr 30
Version 1.72
New Feature:
>Quick Log is here! This feature uses shortcuts so that you can ask Siri or use the back tap(double or triple taps) to quickly log transactions without opening the app. Tap the "..." on the upper right and then go to Settings. Scroll down and look for Quick Log and follow the instructions for the option that fits you best. Thank you Clang for the suggestion!
Bug fixes:
>Paying off a credit card in a different currency now deducts the correct amount from your bank account. For example, paying an AUD credit card balance from a PHP bank account will now properly convert and deduct the equivalent PHP amount.
>Payment reversal or deletions now also reflect the converted amount for cross currency transactions.
>Bills in any currency now show the right symbol. If you had a bill set to EUR, SGD, or any currency other than PHP or USD, it was incorrectly showing a "$" sign. It now shows the correct symbol everywhere.
>The bills alert on your home screen is now more accurate. It was sometimes showing ₱0.00, missing upcoming bills that fall just a few days into the next month, and showing the wrong amount in the "Next due" line when your base currency wasn't PHP. All fixed with the banner now showing the correct total, counting all your upcoming bills, and converting amounts to your base currency properly.
1.72 Apr 29
Bug fixes in calculation affecting every user using other currencies beyond PHP and USD. Thank you Niño for the catch!

Log expenses in any of the 14 supported currencies and they'll be converted to your base currency automatically. Cross-currency transfers between accounts (e.g. USD → PHP) now correctly apply the live exchange rate, with a preview of the converted amount shown before you confirm. Currency display is also fixed across Savings, Liability Detail, and the bill/income editors — amounts now always appear in your selected base currency rather than defaulting to ₱.
Budget Caps per Category
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly spending limit on any expense category. A budget summary appears on your home screen to see your status on each expense category.
Improved Expenses Tracking
Timestamps are now added to help you remember when an expense happened. A search bar is also available for you to quickly look back on past expenses.
UI/UX Improvements
Bugs were taken care of everywhere they were hiding. Removed bugs like a new subscription immediately being logged as an expense, share cards neatly realigned, values and estimates now made more accurate, and page guides updated to help you make the most out of the app!
1.7 Apr 26
Scan Receipts to Log Expenses — Attach a photo of your receipt when adding an expense and Halo will automatically fill in the details for you.

Archived items are hidden from your active lists, won't trigger alerts, and are excluded from Analytics — but can be restored anytime from the collapsible Archived section.
Multi-Currency Trip Expenses — Log expenses and bill splits in any supported currency. Exchange rates are locked at the time of logging so historical amounts stay accurate even as rates change, and all totals are shown converted to your base currency.
