## What is Phronix?

Stop guessing which card to use at checkout.

Phronix scans active offers from Sri Lanka's top banks and tells you exactly which of your cards saves you the most — before you pay.

Add the cards you own. Phronix does the rest.


KEY FEATURES

Best Card Recommendation
Search any merchant or browse by category and instantly see which of your cards has the best active offer.

Live Offer Database
Offers from Sri Lankan Banks — updated regularly.

Smart Search
Type a merchant name or browse by category: Dining, Shopping, Groceries, Travel, Health, Fuel, and more.

Save Offers
Bookmark the offers you care about for quick access when you need them.

Secure by Design
Phronix never asks for your card number, PIN, CVV, or banking credentials. Only the card product you own (e.g. "Visa Signature") is stored.

Face ID / Touch ID Lock
Keep your saved cards private with biometric app lock.

Dark Mode
Full support for light and dark themes that follow your system preference.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-29

• Amana Bank is now supported — add your Amana Visa Debit Card to see its offers
• Share any offer with a tap, right from the offer details screen
• Offers that are only valid on certain days now show a quick weekly view of exactly which days

Fixes:
• Day-of-week offers from BOC, HNB, Amana, and Sampath now correctly show their actual valid days, instead of appearing valid every day
• A BOC offer's start date now reflects when the promotion actually begins
• A Sampath offer combining two separate deals (e.g. different terms for credit vs. debit cards) now shows them as two clearly separated lines
• Merchant names from DFCC no longer show placeholder text
• The People's Bank chip in Add Card no longer gets its name cut off

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-28

New: Add Phronix to your Home Screen.

A widget now shows your best card and today's top saving at a
glance — no need to open the app. Add it from Profile →
Preferences, in small, medium, or large.

Also in this update:
• The widget shows the offer's expiry date, and highlights it when it's ending soon
• The widget now follows your in-app theme (light or dark), instead of only ever matching your phone's system setting
• Saving an offer or adding a card on one device now reliably shows up on your other devices signed into the same account
• A few small fixes, including duplicate-card feedback when adding several cards at once
