What's New in Forgo
1.1.0
July 17, 2026
In this release: ▸ Smarter nudges. Every push now shows your current pace, cap, days left, and what goal your saved money is working toward. No more generic "Forgo nudge" alerts — every one teaches you something specific. ▸ Faster setup. New users get to their first nudge in 5 screens. Optional deep-setup steps (income, fixed costs, budget split) now live on a Home card — complete them at your own pace. ▸ Search + manual-add for merchants. Don't see the merchant Forgo needs to watch? Type it in. Works for both target setup and fixed costs. ▸ Home and Goals tabs lead with target progress. Staying under $300 on Uber Eats is a win — even when you didn't open the app. ▸ Widget shows Month Verdict instead of forgone dollars. See "3 of 4 targets on track" at a glance on your home screen or lock screen. Reply to any Forgo email — it comes straight to me.
