· TW - 📦Minimal Expense: Travel, Split updated to version 5.3Hi! I'm the minimalist developer.
5.3 is all about Insights. It used to feel like a shorter monthly report, so I turned it into a price list for your life: instead of how much you spent this month, it shows each thing you spend on regularly, how often, and how much at a time. The app also feels lighter to open, and Christmas came a little early.
* The top of Insights now has one slim line: where this month stands, and the least you'll still spend before it ends.
* Then comes "A day of your life": what an average day costs lately, with the earlier number crossed out beside it. Below, three groups: "Already set" (recurring items and installments you already decided on), "Regulars", and "Now and then" (trips and rare ones).
* Under "Regulars", each category gets a line with how often and the average entry, the earlier ones crossed out next to them. Big categories split themselves into small, usual and big entries; if you often write the same note (say, "coffee"), that gets its own line too. No notes? It still reads just fine.
* At the bottom, the extra money per day is taken apart for you: did each entry get pricier, did it happen more often, or is something new? Tap any line to see those entries, topped with three boxes, "How often", "Average entry" and "Per day", tinted in that category's color.
* Opening the app feels lighter: you can scroll right away, and coming back from another app is just as smooth. Home screen widgets now update the moment you go back to your home screen, so the app saves its energy for you.
* In Cards & Loans, when you add or edit a credit card and pick the statement day, a small ruler appears below it showing exactly which days this cycle covers, with the statement day counted in. Hold it up to your bank statement: if it's off by a day, move the statement day back by one.
* For the season, the ticket on the app icon has become a white Christmas tree standing in a brick-red snowscape.
That's all for now. I'm off to check whether my coffee got pricier.… more - 📦Minimal Expense: Travel, Split updated to version 5.2Hi, it's the minimal developer.
5.2 teaches your credit cards two new things: installments, and paying the bill. A user wrote in to ask how to log card installments. I thought about it for a long time, and the answer is: count the money once, and let the app handle the statement. Also, the details you tap into now float up as a card, and the Inkfolk have brought cats and dogs.
* Card details now have "Pay this statement in installments": the whole statement, part of it, or just the purchases you pick. Choose how many installments, add interest or a fee if there is one, and it works out what's due each time. If your bank's numbers differ, change them to match. Each plan is a row of stamps, one per installment; to finish early, tap "Pay off the rest at once".
* When you add or edit an entry in your main ledger and pick a card from Cards & Loans as the payment method, an "Installments" row appears right below, so you can split it on the spot.
* Nothing is counted twice: what you logged on the day you swiped stays logged once, and installments only change what each statement asks for. The only new spending is interest and fees, logged automatically on the 1st of each month; if both are 0, nothing extra appears.
* A purchase you split on the spot counts one installment a month in your main ledger, Analysis, Budget and weekly and monthly reports. It carries a small "Installment" tag showing which installment it is and the total.
* Card settings now have "Due day each month" and "Pay the card from". Choose Autopay and, on the due day, it's taken from that account on its own; choose Pay myself and tap "Pay this bill" when it's time.
* For cards in Cards & Loans, your account doesn't drop on the day you swipe: when you add an entry, the account row says "Taken when you pay the card". The money leaves your account on the day you pay the card, and only once. And a card payment doesn't count as spending.
* From the statement date, a stamp appears next to the big number: "Due" until you pay, "Paid" once you have. Tapped by mistake? Just tap "Mark as unpaid".
* In Overview and Cards & Loans, each card now has two columns, "Last statement" and "This cycle". Tap a column to open that statement. Overview counts what you've spent but not yet paid, and installments still to come, as debt.
* For a little while after updating, the last statement will say "From before the update · nothing to pay here": that one was logged the old way, and your account was charged back then. After your next statement date, the stamp shows up.
* The details you tap into now float up as a card on the page. In your main ledger, tapping a category in "Spending Distribution", or "Total Expense" or "Total Income", opens a ledger page; in a trip, tapping a day in "Daily Spending", a category in "Spending Distribution" or "Trip Expense" opens a ticket stub. Filters and swipe left are still there. In the main ledger's cards, trip entries carry a small "Trip · name" tag.
* When there are lots of categories, the small ones gather into one "N more" tile at the bottom right; tap it for the list. Every tile has the category icon, its name and the amount in big numbers, and every tile can be tapped.
* "Trip expenses" in your main ledger is now one line per trip: flag, name, dates, number of entries and how much you spent. "Include trip expenses" becomes a stamp switch.
* Cats and dogs drawn with the Inkfolk's own pen can now be avatars: the sticker book has a new "Pets" page with 18 cats and 18 dogs, and two of the cats are drawn from my own. You can pick them for your owner's seal too. In dark mode the stickers turn a warm beige, and so do the Inkfolk.
That's all for now. I'm off to check my own credit card statement.… more - ✏️Minimal Expense: Travel, Split: app got bigger34 MB → 38 MB (+11%)
- 📦Minimal Expense: Travel, Split updated to version 5.1Hi, it's the minimal developer.
5.1 tidies up your Home Screen: two new widgets, and the older ones now share the same white paper. Your money at a glance, without opening the app. Export Data is all-new too, with all four books, and the numbers in your weekly and monthly reports now open up.
* The new "Trips" widget is a ticket stub: what this trip has cost, which day you're on and what you've spent today. It stays there before you leave and after you're back.
* The new "Monthly Pulse" widget is for business ledgers: whether this month is up or down, plus the last six months lined up bar by bar.
* Both pick for you: the trip in progress, then the next one, then the latest; and the business ledger you used most recently. Want a specific one? Long-press the widget and tap Edit. One tap opens that trip or that ledger.
* "Accounts" now looks like the Net Worth card in the main ledger: your net worth in big numbers, how it compares with the end of last month, a six-month line, and each account in its own color and icon.
* "Quick Add" now comes in a small square with four cells: templates first, then your frequent categories. A category cell fills the category; a template fills all three.
* "Budget", "Spending Map" and "Quick Add" switch to the same white paper as the ledger pages, so they look tidy side by side.
* Export Data, all-new: your main ledger, trips, shared ledgers and business ledgers can all be exported, everything at once or just one book. The PDF gives each book its own chapter, with a contents page first: trips include the settlement, shared ledgers the shared fund, business ledgers profit and loss. The CSV opens in Excel as one tidy table. And the period goes all the way to "All time".
* Tap a number in your weekly or monthly report to see the entries behind it. Tap a day in "The rhythm of this week" to see what you logged that day; tap a category in "Where It Went" for that week's details. Spot a mistake? Tap the entry to fix it, and the report updates too. This one was suggested by a user who wrote in.
* Tap "Budget Tracking" in a trip to change the budget. Trips often need a little more: type the new amount and the progress bar redraws, showing what's left and roughly how much you can spend each day as you type. Trips without a budget get a "Set a budget for this trip" line in the same spot.
* iCloud Backup now carries one more thing: the "Notify me when reports are ready" switch. Restore on a new phone and, if you turned it off, it stays off.
* After a split, Analysis counts only your share. If you paid the whole bill for a friend, your share is 0, and what you paid still goes into "Total incl. what I paid for others".
* The buttons at the top of Trips fit on narrow screens and with Display Zoom. When space runs short, "Companion guide" shrinks to its icon.
To add a widget: press and hold an empty area of your Home Screen, tap + at the top left, and find this app.
If it's on your Home Screen, it's easier to remember.… more - 📦Minimal Expense: Travel, Split updated to version 5.0Hi, it's the minimal developer.
5.0 adds a second kind of book: business ledgers. Side gigs, freelance work and your own little projects finally have a place to live. It's still your money; the books just stay apart.
* The top left of the main ledger is now four small index tabs: a plane, a briefcase, two people and a cabinet. Tap the briefcase to start a business ledger. Name it yourself and add a "Tag": Side business, Project, or your own, like "iOS App".
* Each one tells you whether it has made or lost money since you opened it. Set a "Spending cap" and a line shows how much you've put in.
* When a month ends, you get a "Business monthly report": profit or loss, where the money went, where it came from, and one closing line.
* Business entries can use your accounts and cards too, so balances, the Overview and card bills all see them. The main ledger's totals, weekly and monthly reports and budget stay untouched; the budget card just adds one line about business spending.
* In Analysis, "Trip Compare" is now "Compare": the main ledger, trips and business side by side, so you can see which book the money went to and what a day on a trip costs.
* "Recurring" items can carry an account now: pick once where the rent comes out of or where the salary lands. Every entry added each month carries that account, and the balance moves with it. Prefer not to? Choose "No Account". You can also choose the "Ledger" to send it straight into a business ledger.
* Picking a category, payment method or currency there now opens a small floating card, and the currency list can be searched: type "yen" or "jp" and Japanese Yen is right there.
* Not sure where to start? Settings › "Handbook" has a new chapter, "Business ledgers".
Business ledgers are still in beta. If anything feels off, tap "Write to me" in the business ledger list.
Thank you to everyone who wrote in: the one who wanted a book for a side business, and the one who kept filling in accounts every month.… more - 📦Minimal Expense: Travel, Split: now updating weekly4 updates in 30 days, after a quiet two months
- 📦Minimal Expense: Travel, Split updated to version 4.9嗨!我是極簡開發者。
香港的朋友來信問:語音記帳,可以說廣東話嗎?這一版,可以了。
* 語音記帳聽得懂廣東話:說「食晏六十蚊」「琴晚飲茶三百蚊,碌卡」,金額、類別、日期、付款方式都幫你填好;備註留著你說的那幾個字。
* 香港、澳門的手機,會自己換成用廣東話聽,第一次會在紙上跟你說一聲。
* 想自己挑:設定 ›「語音聽哪種話」,普通話、廣東話都可以。
* 語音卡一收起來,麥克風就跟著休息——按叉叉也好,點卡片外面也好。去看訂閱頁的時候也一樣:說過的那幾句先幫你收好,回來就在。
* 旅行帳簿也記得了收入:退稅、退款拿回來的錢,新增時切到「收入」就好。總支出下面會多一行,寫著拿回多少、實際花了多少;那一趟的預算也會把它還給你。
* 金額按出負數時,它會問一句「這是退回來的錢嗎?」,點一下就改記成收入。主帳簿也一樣。
* 試用 Premium 的那幾天,設定 ›「會員狀態」寫著試用到哪一天,下面就是「管理訂閱」。日期寫清楚,才好安心慢慢試。
* 試用開始的那一刻,訂閱頁會翻成一張扉頁:「這本手帳,從今天起是你的。」挑一個墨小人當主人印,蓋上去。之後想換,點設定裡那顆小印,扉頁會再翻出來。
* 主帳簿的試用票:票上帶你去看的三樣,都是現在打開就有東西的。
* 試用結束那天,它會說一聲,只說一次。留下來、先離開都好——你的帳一筆不少,都在。
* 問問看:「上周花多少?」「這周末花多少?」寫成這樣,它也聽得懂了。
* 十月是台灣的同志驕傲月。這個月,圖示上的票根換上了彩虹。
一本手帳,該聽得懂主人怎麼說話。
謝謝寫信來的你——這一版,是你問出來的。… more - 📦Minimal Expense: Travel, Split updated to version 4.8Hi, it's the minimal developer.
Some of you wrote that there weren't enough widgets. Others asked for fixed templates: one tap, and everything is filled in. This version brings both.
* Entry templates: save an entry you make all the time as a template, with its category, payment method and account already chosen. Press and hold "+" in the main ledger, tap a template, and all three are filled in — you only type the amount and a note.
* Keep up to six templates on one card with six slots: tap a slot to edit it, press and hold to drag it. You can also open it from Settings › Data › Entry templates.
* The Quick Add widget holds templates too: square ones are templates, round ones are categories.
* A new Budget widget: roughly how much you can spend per day until month end, in one line and one ruler. When the day changes, it moves on to that day's number by itself.
* A new Accounts widget: the small one shows just your net worth; the medium one adds your first three accounts. A tap opens Overview.
* Halfway through an entry and need to check something in another app? Go ahead. When you come back the entry opens by itself, with the amount, note and photos still there — in every ledger.
* The budget card on the main ledger: for a split entry, only your own share counts.
* Tap Save & New and the photos clear along with the amount, so the next entry starts on a clean page.
A path you walk every day only needs paving once.
Thank you for writing in — this version is one you taught me to build.… more - 🆕Minimal Expense: Travel, Split first spotted by AppInsider#84 in Top Grossing · Finance · Taiwan
- 📦Minimal Expense: Travel, Split version 4.6Hi, it's the minimal developer.
The little card that floats up when you tap an account has grown: transfers, deposits and balance adjustments all happen right on it — no more trips to another page.
* Three buttons on the card: Transfer, Deposit / Withdraw and Adjust Balance. Tap one and another card floats up. Pick where the money comes from and where it goes right inside the card; the amount has a calculator.
* History: every entry for that account, newest first. Tap one to change it.
* Count in net worth, Archive and Delete are on the same card too.
* Tap an account in Overview or in Settings › Accounts — it's the same card either way.
* Credit cards get a small ⓘ: on the Credit Cards tab in Cards & Loans, and on the credit card section in Overview. It opens "How cards are counted" in seven short lines. Add a card and it shows up under Payment Method when you log. Once a card expires you can't pick it; set a later expiry month and it's back. Archiving or deleting a card never removes past entries.
* If you listen with VoiceOver: the handwritten lines in your Journal and in the letters from the developer now read out clean, one line at a time.
* A little oiling while I was at it: opening accounts and scrolling history feel lighter, and less common currencies keep up just as well.
Moving money between accounts is part of everyday life.
Now it all lives on one card, a tap away.… more - 🆕Minimal Expense: Travel, Split: its developer released another app: 打了個冷顫
