Changelog · Current version 1.20.3
What's new
in HonestExpenses.
Every release of the app and the bot, newest first — what's new, what got better, what we fixed.
7 days of Pro · 20 AI actions · No card
Card payments land in the right category
Payments from Google Wallet and your banks show the category they really got, and a new place never sits in «Other» without a word.
- Web
- Telegram bot
Improved
- Settings → «Google Wallet & banks»: «Last payment» showed «Other» for every new place, though the AI picked the category a second later. Now it says «picking a category…» and then shows the one it got.
- Out of AI actions: a place you've paid at before still gets its category. For a new one the bot tells you why it couldn't pick one and lets you choose — the place is remembered for next time.
Fixed
- A payment you confirmed with «Record as an expense?» always went to «Other» — now it gets its place's category like any card payment.
- A bank's advert with a number in it («7 days left for rewards») is no longer offered as a payment.
The assistant's buttons land on the right place
A button from the assistant opens Settings right at its section, and a voice request about settings is understood the first time.
- Web
Fixed
- «Set up Google Wallet and banks», «Export» and other buttons from the chat opened Settings at the top — now they scroll to their section.
- A voice message like «turn on Google Wallet» sometimes got an answer about your money instead — now the assistant hears it's about settings.
Analytics remembers your view
Step away from Analytics and come back — the period, accounts and toggles are where you left them.
- Web
Fixed
- Going to another screen or tapping «back» no longer resets Analytics: the period, the picked accounts, «Expenses / Income» and the opened category stay for 30 minutes or until you close the app.
The assistant knows your settings
Ask the AI assistant to change a setting, turn something on or show where it is — not only about your money.
- Web
New
- Currency, language, time zone, style, font, palette, notifications, the morning reminder, default categories: say what to change — the assistant shows what will change and does it once you confirm. «Undo» puts it back.
- Dark theme and «Hide amounts»: just ask — done at once. «Put it back» works too.
Improved
- For what is set up on its own screen — notifications on the phone, Google Wallet and banks, Apple Pay, Telegram, your plan — the assistant gives a button right there, and shows step by step how to connect Claude or ChatGPT.
Analytics your way
Choose which parts of Analytics you see and in what order — your own charts right among them.
- Web
New
- «Customise Analytics» at the bottom of Analytics: switch blocks on and off — totals, charts, month over month, year over year and the rest — and drag them into your order. The same on every device.Needs the Lifetime plan
- Frequent categories: what you record often shows above the amount of a new transaction, one tap fills it in; the note suggests a category, and the bot puts them first after an amount. Off by default — turn it on in Categories → ⚙.
Improved
- Your pinned charts are blocks too: put any of them at the top, between the others or hide it for a while.Needs the Lifetime plan
Smoother «My charts»
- Web
Improved
- «📌 To Analytics» under an assistant chart shows that it's saving, then «On Analytics →» takes you straight to that chart.Needs the AI plan
- «+ Add chart» is always at the end of Analytics — build a chart yourself, no assistant needed.Needs the Lifetime plan
Fixed
- Analytics with pinned comparison charts could freeze the app and keep the phone busy — fixed.

Arrange Home the way you look at money, pin the charts you care about and see where the month is heading.
- Web
New
- Customise Home: turn widgets on or off and drag them into your order.Needs the Lifetime plan

- A default category for expenses and for income — a new transaction starts with it.
Improved

- Budgets can be put in your own order.
A list that remembers
Notes right in the rows, filters that stay, and a month you can read by category.

New
- «By category»: a month or a week as categories with their totals — one tap back to the plain list.
