more Minor bug fixes.
2.5.3 12h ago
• Paper & envelope setup. Tell CheckZap where the check sits on your paper — top, middle, bottom or plain paper — and save up to 10 layouts. The check itself never changes size.
• Window envelopes. Print the payee and your return address right where your envelope windows are. A printable finder sheet and fit test make setup easy — no ruler needed.
• Send bank numbers to your phone. Move routing and account numbers from your Mac to your iPhone or iPad with a QR code, after confirming it's you. Nothing goes through our servers.
• Clearer "Pay from". Every account picker and print preview now shows the DBA name, so similar accounts are never mixed up.
• Smarter payroll. CheckZap learns each employee's usual account from recent paydays, saves new employees to Payees with their address, and shows names in recent payroll runs.
• Remote printing asks you to choose a print user unless the account has a default.
• Messages close on their own, with a close button on warnings.
• Other fixes and improvements.

2.5.0 Sep 30
Performance improvements and bug fixes.
2.0.4 Sep 5
Smarter payroll duplicate detection — checks with the same amount for a different pay period (e.g. consistent hours or salary) are no longer flagged as duplicates.
Added a safety check that blocks printing when a bank account's routing or account number is missing, so a check is never printed with an incomplete bank line.
2.0.3 Aug 6
Minor bug fixes and performance improvements
2.0.2 Aug 5
Fixed unexpected sign-outs — the app no longer silently logs you out in the background; if it ever happens, you're returned to the login screen right away instead of finding out on next launch.
Remember Me, improved — checking "Keep me logged in" now also securely saves your password (Keychain-protected), so you don't have to retype it every time.
Touch ID sign-in — on Macs with Touch ID, unlock your saved password with your fingerprint instead of typing it.
Quick Memos, redesigned — pick any saved memo from the full list with one tap; hit "Edit" to rename, delete, or reorder.
2.0.1 Aug 1
Fixed an issue where entering a comma-formatted amount (e.g. 100,000) on the Batch Check screen could disable the Print button.
History tab now correctly shows print status and printed-by info for checks sent to and printed by relay/print-station users.
Fixed history filters so checks printed by a specific user now display correctly.
New Settings option: "Comma-Formatted Amounts" — choose whether amount fields show thousands separators (100,000) or plain digits (100000) while typing. Enabled by default.
General bug fixes and stability improvements.

1.9 Jun 10
Universal Pay Stub Parser
CheckZap now correctly identifies employee names, pay amounts, and dates across all pay stub formats — no more wrong names being picked up from company letterheads.
Paystub Calibration
Uploaded a pay stub that didn't parse correctly? Use the new Paystub Calibration feature to teach CheckZap exactly how to read that employer's format. Once calibrated, every future pay stub from that employer is parsed automatically — including offline. Profiles sync across all your devices.
