more 〜 Feel the difference! A more comfortable and tailored update 〜
Thank you for always using Roughly!
This time, we've made adjustments to make the app feel even better to the touch and look at, along with improvements to make it easier for everyone to use.
1. Enjoy with your eyes and hands: Pleasant feedback
* When a recorded symbol lands on the water, a ripple will now spread out with a splash!
* Furthermore, the haptic feedback (vibration) when landing or when symbols collide is now smoother and more realistic depending on the momentum.
* Also, for those who prefer to turn off vibrations, you can now toggle it on and off anytime from the settings screen.
2. Improvements in visibility and usability
* Cleaner numbers: We adjusted the number font for amounts and dates, so the screen layout no longer shifts even if the number of digits changes.
* Comfortable on iPad: The layout is now much more stable, even when resizing the screen using Stage Manager or multi-window!
* Enhanced VoiceOver support: For VoiceOver users, we added a new accessibility experience where visual effects like water levels and weather can be felt through sound and vibration.
3. Smoother and snappier
We optimized the weather, wave, and cloud animations behind the scenes to make them move much more smoothly. We've also made minor UI tweaks and bug fixes.
Let's continue to keep our records in the "Roughly" way—loosely and comfortably, without aiming for perfection!

~ A Little Happier with "Pretend Purchases"! Added "Virtual Savings" Feature ~
Thank you for always using Roughly!
Based on a wonderful idea from our users, we've added a new feature to make managing your daily finances a little more fun.
① Boost your motivation with "Virtual Savings"!
We received a request for a feature to visually track the money saved by "pretending" to buy something.
Roughly's goal is to help you build a "relaxed and positive relationship with money." We cherish the joy of spending, but we also wanted to let you positively record the choices where you intentionally held off. That's why we added the "Virtual Savings" feature to the expense input screen!
When you record a "Virtual Saving," instead of the usual category icons, sparkly treasures will plop down and sink to the bottom of your screen.
Rather than just looking back and thinking, "I spent too much...", you can now enjoy the positive achievement of "I passed on this one and managed my money well!" Experience this joyful feeling with Roughly.
② Smoother and more comfortable
We've tweaked the app's performance under the hood and fixed some minor bugs.
We will continue to create an environment where you can keep your records without stress.
Let's keep tracking flexibly, comfortably, and without aiming for perfection—just the Roughly way!

~ Smoother Casual Tracking! Added +/- Buttons for "Roughly" Estimating ~
Thank you for using Roughly!
Based on your wonderful feedback, we’ve added a cozy new feature to make your tracking experience even more delightful.
① Quick Calculations for Your "Roughly" Estimates!
We received requests for a simple calculator feature when tracking multiple purchases at once.
However, Roughly is all about "good-enough" budgeting! You don’t need to stress over every single cent or yen.
So, instead of a traditional, rigid calculator, we’ve added a way to switch the fixed amount buttons to "+" and "-" modes to easily add up your expenses.
For example, if you grabbed a $10 lunch and a $5 coffee, you can just tap through the buttons to intuitively build your total. Try out this seamless input experience—perfect for when you're on the go or at the register!
② Faster and Smoother
We’ve fine-tuned the app’s background performance and fixed minor bugs to keep your tracking experience as smooth as possible.
Let’s keep tracking the Roughly way—no perfection needed, just cozy and mindful reflection!
3.2 Jul 8
〜 New: Reflect on your spending with "Feelings" & minor improvements 〜
Thank you for always using Roughly!
In this update, we've added a new feature that takes our concept of a "relaxed relationship with money" one step further.
① Add a "Feeling" stamp to your spending
"I'm so glad I bought this!" or "Maybe I bought this on impulse..."
You can now record your "satisfaction" with a purchase, not just the amount and category! Try tapping the stamp that best matches your current feeling from the 3 new stamps on the expense entry screen. Managing your money becomes a time to check in with yourself.
② Reflect on your "Feelings" on the Highlights screen
You can now check the stamps you've recorded all at once on the Highlights (Insights) screen. Positive discoveries like "I had this many happy purchases this month!" will surely make next month's spending a little better. You can also see the total amount spent on things you are "glad you bought" at a glance.
③ Smoother and more comfortable
We've adjusted the app's internal performance and fixed minor bugs. We also continue to polish the animations so they feel great every time you log your expenses.
Let's continue tracking loosely and comfortably, the Roughly way, without striving for perfection!

~ A "Message Bottle" for Last Month's Recap, and a Special Gift for Our Existing Users ~
Thank you for always using Roughly!
In this update, we have added a fun new feature to enjoy at the end of the month, along with an important announcement.
① A "Message Bottle" from Last Month's You
"What did I spend money on last month?"
We've added a feature to make looking back much more fun!
When a new month begins, a small "Message Bottle" will wash up on your home screen.
Tap the bottle, and along with a beautiful wave animation, you can look back on how much of your budget you used, your top spending category, and your memorable "Highlight Day" — all with that signature "roughly" feel.
Please enjoy this time to appreciate and reward yourself for your hard work last month.
② A "Free Forever" Gift for Our Existing Users
To continue developing and improving Roughly, we have decided to introduce a premium paid plan.
However, for everyone who has supported us by installing Roughly before June 19, 2026, you can continue to use all these premium features for [Free Forever]!
This is a small token of our gratitude to everyone who helped grow Roughly with us. Please continue to use the app with peace of mind.
③ Smoother and More Comfortable
We did some major spring cleaning on the app's behind-the-scenes code. Switching screens and logging expenses are now smoother and more pleasant than ever.
Let's continue tracking our expenses loosely and comfortably, the Roughly way!

~ A Calendar Tailored to Your Pace: Now Fully Synced with Your "Month Start Day"! ~
Thank you for using Roughly as always!
In this update, we’ve overhauled the calendar feature in response to your wonderful requests to manage money based on your personal payday cycles.
"I changed my month start day to the 15th, but the calendar still starts from the 1st, which throws off my rhythm..."
Inspired by this feedback, we fundamentally redesigned the calendar system to bring Roughly’s core value—"intuitive and comfortable money management"—directly into the Calendar tab.
① Your unique lifestyle cycle, reflected right on the calendar
When you adjust your "Month Start Day" (e.g., to your payday) in the settings, the Calendar tab will now dynamically switch to start from that specific date (e.g., from the 15th to the 14th of the next month). No more converting dates in your head—embrace the rhythm of your month in a much more natural way.
② Peace of mind with a "rough" overview at any glance
The moment you open the calendar, you can instantly see how much you can spend for the current cycle and the overall pace of your records. You don’t need to stress over every single digit; just flip through it gently, like turning the pages of your favorite paper journal.
A huge thank you to everyone who shared their precious feedback!
Let’s keep tracking our money the Roughly way—not aiming for perfection, but staying relaxed and comfortable.

〜 Highly requested "Household Sharing" is here! Connect loosely with family and partners 〜
Thank you for always using Roughly!
In this update, we’ve added the highly anticipated Sharing feature, which many of you have been passionately asking for since our release: "I want to use it with my family and partner!"
"I want to manage money together, but I don't want to feel stressed or awkward by nitpicking each other's spending..."
To respect those feelings, we focused on creating a "loose sharing" experience that is uniquely Roughly.
① Share "Waves" and "Water Levels", not strict numbers
Instead of checking every single cent of your spending history, you share the "waves" and "water levels" on the home screen. It intuitively conveys a general vibe like, "We might be a little tight this month" or "We're on a good pace," naturally fostering mutual support.
② Family records turn into warm ripples
When your partner logs a purchase, a new symbol will drop on your screen, or a gentle ripple will spread across the water surface. What was just a simple input task transforms into a warm little communication where you can feel your family's presence, even when apart.
③ Quick sync with simple steps
No complicated settings are needed. Just invite your partner from "Sharing Settings" in the Settings screen, and your cozy shared water surface will begin immediately.
Thank you so much for the numerous requests!
Let's continue to log our expenses loosely and comfortably, in true Roughly style, without aiming for perfection!

~ Make your Home Screen more convenient! Major Widget upgrades ~
Thank you for always using Roughly!
In this update, we've added new widget features and made major design improvements so you can check your financial status at a glance from your Home Screen or Lock Screen.
1. See it all on a large screen! Large Widget & StandBy support
We now support the largest widget size (Large)! You can also use it in "StandBy" mode when your iPhone is charging horizontally.
The top half features Roughly's signature wave animation and a large percentage, while the bottom half neatly summarizes all your details, including "Money spent this month", "Budget", and "Remaining balance".
2. Know "How much can I spend today?" at a glance!
The newly added Medium and Large widgets now show your "Daily remaining budget".
Please use this as a guide to pace your spending until the end of the month!
3. Visualize your path to the end of the month! Progress bar added & minor tweaks
We've added a "Progress bar" at the bottom of all widget sizes so you can intuitively see how many days are left in the month.
We've adjusted the Small widget to a more beautiful, centered design.
We slightly increased the font size for the Medium widget and made some text phrasing more friendly (applicable to the Japanese language setting).
Let's keep recording loosely and comfortably, the Roughly way!
2.17 May 1
〜 Smoother Charts, Calendars, and Expense Logging! 〜
Thank you for always using Roughly! In this update, we've made several improvements and bug fixes to make your daily tracking and reviewing even more comfortable.
① Upgraded Chart Screen!
When a category has more than 5 records, a "See all 〇 items" button will now appear. Tap it to quickly jump to the full history list for that category!
We also fixed layout issues caused by long memos, and smoothed out the scrolling behavior so it no longer jumps unnaturally when you close a category breakdown.
② "Remember Category" for Quicker Logging
When adding a new expense using the + button, your previously used category is now selected by default.
This makes it much easier to log consecutive expenses (like groceries right after buying a coffee) without re-selecting the category every time!
③ Under-the-Hood Fixes & Tweaks
Fixed an issue in the Calendar where deleting a record would unexpectedly jump back to "Today".
Fixed the "Highlight" tab disappearing when crossing into a new month. It will now stay visible as long as you have past data!
Updated the design of the Fixed Expense Balloon pop-up to match the beautiful, translucent "Liquid Glass" look of other pop-ups.
Fixed a bug where the "Back" button wouldn't work in certain Settings screens (like Budget or Fixed Expense settings).
Let's continue tracking our expenses the Roughly way—loosely, gently, and comfortably!
2.16 Apr 25
〜 Just pop a balloon once a month for your recurring expenses! 〜
Thank you for always using Roughly!
"Entering rent, subscriptions, and other fixed monthly expenses every time is such a hassle..."
This update turns that monthly routine into a little bit of fun and "play"!
① A little treat once a month
If you set up your "fixed expenses" like rent and phone bills in advance, a fluffy "balloon" will float onto your home screen once a month.
Just tap and "Pop!" the balloon to record all your fixed expenses for the month at once!
② Smart and gentle support
"Wait, did I already record this month's rent?" Don't worry if you forget!
Roughly checks your past records and automatically skips anything you've already recorded.
It gently lets you know, "Recorded 〇 items, skipped 〇 items," so you never have to worry about duplicates.
③ A cleaner, easier-to-read Settings tab!
We've revamped the Settings tab, which was getting a bit crowded with new features!
It's now neatly organized by purpose, like "Basic Settings" and "Customization," making it much more intuitive to arrange Roughly just the way you like it.
Let the balloon handle those tedious monthly entries, and let's keep recording in a relaxed and cozy way, just like Roughly!
2.15 Mar 25
〜 Plop! Your usual expenses in an instant. You can now record on another day! 〜
Thank you for always using Roughly!
"Entering the same coffee expense every day is a bit of a hassle..." "I want to enter a few days' worth of receipts all at once."
This update turns those little daily "hassles" into a "delightful" experience!
① "Record on another day" from the calendar!
We've added a new icon to the right side of the expense list on the calendar screen.
Just tap it and select a date to quickly copy a past record to another day.
② Copying and pasting, the comfortable Roughly way
Simply copying things feels like boring clerical work, right?
The moment you choose a date and tap "Save"... we've added a little animation where the symbol bounces up and drops with a satisfying plop.
Please enjoy your daily recording along with the pleasant vibration you feel at your fingertips!
It's completely okay if you don't track your expenses every single day.
When you think, "Ah, I forgot!", just pop in your past records and keep going at your own relaxed Roughly pace!
2.14 Mar 18

Thank you for always using Roughly!
This update makes tracking your daily money much more intuitive and effortless!
① Intuitive "Rough" Input with the Slider!
Just swipe your finger smoothly across the screen to quickly and intuitively enter your expenses.
② A Pleasant Feel at Your Fingertips
Feel a satisfying "click-click" vibration every time you slide. The subtle tactile feedback changes depending on the amount, turning the "chore" of logging expenses into a surprisingly delightful experience you'll actually look forward to.
No need to stress over every single cent. In true Roughly fashion, let's keep it chill and record with a relaxed "about this much~" mindset!

Small expenses appear smaller, while large expenses appear larger, giving you an instant, intuitive sense of your spending scale.
We have also redesigned the symbols with a beautiful "glass-like" texture.
Additionally, the App Icon has been updated to support transparent backgrounds, matching the latest iOS styles perfectly.

You can now choose your Calendar display mode! Whether you prefer a "rough overview" or a "detailed check," you can easily switch modes using the menu button (...) at the top right of the Calendar tab.
- Amount Mode (New!): See "when and how much you spent" at a glance. It features a heat map where days with higher spending appear darker, making it easy to intuitively review your spending habits.
- Category Mode: The classic simple icon display. Perfect for when you want a clean look with just icons.
Your feedback is the driving force behind improving Roughly. Please give the new Calendar tab a try!

・"Snapping" Animation for the Calendar When you tap a date on the calendar, the selection mark floats over and snaps to your finger as if it were alive. We aimed for a satisfying texture that makes you want to touch the calendar even when you don't need to.
・Beautiful Even with Large Text We’ve refreshed the design to ensure the layout stays perfect and easy to read, even when your iPhone's text size settings are increased. Delivering the same ease of use to everyone.
・A New Side of Chappy On days or months with no records, a peacefully sleeping Chappy will appear. Please take comfort in knowing that a day with no spending records is a "good day" too.

We've adjusted the calendar design to resolve an issue where content overlapped with the record button.
We also fine-tuned the Home Screen widget for a more transparent, water-like design.

You can now see at a glance how your days were colored (by category) in a fun, new way.
It’s not about strict analysis, but rather a little helper for looking back "roughly" on your precious memories.
