## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-08

VOICE, WIDGETS AND A HOLIDAY
Spent a month building, now – a holiday. But not before the biggest update yet.
You can now just say an expense out loud: the amount, the currency, the account, the category, even that it was yesterday. And "every month 500 for the gym" turns into a recurring one.
Also new: widgets (seven, lock screen included), a budget forecast built from your own history, a screen per account, deeper analytics and file import from the main screen. The main screen and categories got noticeably faster.
Write to me if something breaks – I'll read it after the holiday
