What’s new
Version v2.6.0 · Updated October 13, 2026
New: • A new welcome screen. Sign up with Apple, Google or email so your budget is backed up, or start without an account like before. • Setup now ends in a real budget. Pick Auto or Classic, add your first account and starter categories, and land on a budget that's ready to use. • Monthly round-up. On the first open of a new month, see how last month went and set a limit for categories that don't have one, with a suggested amount. • Auto Mode: categories without a limit show what you usually spend, and a limit you set now applies to every month. • A daily streak in Recent Updates, in every mode. • Linking a bank in Classic Mode no longer makes you wait, and tells you where new transactions will show up. • Fixes: Reflect amounts show your currency symbol, an expense can no longer go to Ready to Assign by mistake, renaming a category keeps its other settings, YNAB import fixes, and deleting a category lists exactly what will be removed.
