## What is Balance?

Balance makes it easy to stay on top of your money. Link your bank accounts and credit cards to see everything in one place — balances, transactions, budgets, and more.

See your full financial picture
Connect all your accounts through Plaid's secure bank linking. Track checking, savings, credit cards, and investments alongside manual cash accounts — all in a single dashboard showing your net worth at a glance.

Track every dollar
Transactions sync automatically with smart categorization. Edit categories, search and filter by date or account, and spot trends in your spending over time.

Budget with confidence
Create weekly or monthly budgets and watch your progress in real time. Color-coded indicators show where you stand so you never overspend.

Set savings goals
Define goals with target amounts and deadlines. Link multiple accounts toward a single goal and see exactly how much you need to save each month to stay on track.

Know what's coming
Cash flow forecasting projects your balance 30, 60, or 90 days ahead. See your "safe to spend" amount based on upcoming bills and subscriptions.

Stay alert
Smart notifications for low balances, budget limits, large transactions, duplicate charges, and upcoming bills — all customizable to your preferences.

Home screen widgets
Check your net worth, upcoming bills, recent transactions, and alerts without opening the app.

Your data, secured
Bank-level security through Plaid. Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Your financial data stays private.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.9 — 2026-08-03

What's New in 1.1.8

Snap receipts, skip the typing
Tap the camera on the Transactions tab to scan any receipt. We'll pull out the amount, merchant, date, location, and category automatically — review and save.

Receipts find their transactions
Scanned a receipt for a card you've linked? We'll match it up to the matching bank transaction automatically — no more hunting through your statement. If the transaction hasn't posted yet, we'll attach it as soon as it does.

Apple Pay & supplementary cards
Receipts paid with Apple Pay (or a secondary card on the same account) print a different number than the card on file. When that happens, just pick the card you used once — we'll remember it for next time.

Locations on receipts
Receipts now capture where you shopped. Tap a transaction to see it on the map.

Smarter merchant detection
Vendor names, logos, and websites are filled in automatically so your transaction list stays clean and recognizable.

Net balance trend on the home card
The monthly income vs. expense card now shows a clear net trend line so you can see at a glance whether you're ahead.
