Below is an ordered list of changes that we have made to Lunch Money. Changes include but are not limited to: new features, feature improvements, bug fixes, other usability updates. Some changes may be omitted, such as changes that do not affect the user-facing experience.
The purpose of this changelog is to publicly document the updates we are continuously making to improve Lunch Money. We hope this is useful to our users to know that the product is being actively worked on.
These are the highest impact features that we are currently (or will be) working on:
The brand new Query Tool is officially out in our beta release for testing!
Hello! We've been hard at work with lots of under-the-hood improvements that will improve performance and pave the way for more exciting new features.
We are also launching a beta testing program to help test this new release before it goes out to the general public. If you'd like to be part of this group of beta testers, please reach out at [email protected].
Lightning fast budget! In one click, you can now:
You can now create rules based on notes!
Lunch Money now supports category groups (aka nested categories, aka subcategories)! You can have a top-level category represent a group of categories and you can set a budget for that category and use the Query Tool to quickly analyze your spending. You won't be able to add any transactions directly to the category group.
Happy Valentine's day! We 💝 our users!
You can now set a recurring expense's category from the Recurring Expense page!
Setting your budget for the month? We now show you how much you'll want to pad your budget by based on recurring expenses in the same category.
You can now quickly create a transfer between two manually-managed accounts which will create two transactions and automatically group them together. Your balance will also automatically update.
We took our latest Rules update a step further and incorporated it into the Transactions view.
When you update a transactions, we now ask if you want to apply the same change to similar transactions. This should help first-timers organize their transactions much easier and give higher visiblity into the Rules feature!
Happy Lunar New Year! 🧧
It's been a busy week but we've finally launched the new Main page! A lot of you have been asking for a better way to see your financial overview for the current month. Now the main page displays a bar graph to visualize your expenses against your income. This is also customizable to show against total spend or total budgeted.
The original graphs that were on the Main page are now moved to the new Trends page.
Happy Halloween! 🎃
This week, I spent time on some behind-the-scenes improvements to automate some tasks that I've been doing manually. This should free up more time for me to continue working on features and user-facing improvements! Thank you everyone for your feedback and please keep them coming!
We are back to our regularly-scheduled programming! Expect lots of goodies this week!
Aloha! We are in Hawaii this week for a friend's wedding. Apologies for the slower progress this week!
