## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-05-15

1.0.8 — One-tap migration from your old app:

1. CSV Preset Library: A new "Migrate from another app" entry under Settings, with two built-in presets:
   • GBalance's own CSV — restore from your backup or a friend's export, all 7 fields recognized (including mood)
   • YNAB Register CSV — direct import of YNAB exports, with auto-detection of Outflow / Inflow dual-column direction
2. Smart Recognition: Match confidence is computed during parse (≥0.85 green / below 0.6 red warning) so you know if you picked the right preset.
3. YNAB Currency Dialog: YNAB CSV does not include currency, so you'll be asked to pick one (CNY / USD / EUR / HKD / JPY etc.) at import time.
4. Data Integrity: The mood field now round-trips cleanly — export from GBalance and re-import keeps your emotional tags intact.
5. Same 6-field duplicate detection and 5000-row chunked import in this release.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-04-25

1.0.7 clears years of backlog in one shot:

1. Home Screen Widget: See today's net spending and budget headroom right from your iPhone home screen. The medium size adds a quick-add shortcut — no need to open the app just to log a lunch.
2. Batch Receipt Import: Select multiple receipt photos from your gallery at once, review all OCR results in a single screen, and save them in one tap — no more scanning one by one.
3. Account Reconciliation: Compare your app balance with your real bank balance and generate an adjustment transaction to keep your ledger accurate. Full history of every reconciliation session.
4. Deeper Mood Insights: New 30-day mood trend chart, plus a Joy vs Regret spending breakdown card on the Insights page — turning raw emotion data into real financial insight.
5. Command Panel MVP: Swipe up on the transaction list to open the command panel. Batch categorize, duplicate a transaction, or transfer spending to a savings plan — all in one gesture.

4. Added Budget Pulse cards on Discovery with spending pace and overspending projections.
5. Added budget awareness hints during quick entry so you can act earlier, not later.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-03-15

This update focuses on Security + Productivity + UX polish:

4. Added local notifications for daily logging, budget alerts, recurring reminders, and weekly recap.
