What’s new
Version 2.8 · Updated October 14, 2026
A typo can't cost you data A mistyped amount could delete a category's budget, sell a whole holding, or save a shared household amount a thousand times too small. Those screens now wait until the amount can be read, and editing a transaction has a Cancel button. Transactions keep their account across devices With PennyFi on more than one device, a transaction could lose its account when the other device saved into that same account, and a repair could be undone the same way. PennyFi now keeps the link. If Settings → Backup & Export → Repair Orphaned Transactions lists any, assign them once more and they'll stay. Glass widgets Edit a widget and set its Background to Glass for a frosted card instead of a solid one. Worth versus what you put in Choose vs Invested on the performance chart to see your portfolio's value against the money you put in, with the gap shaded. An All range covers your whole history, and crypto no longer drops out of charts longer than a year. Ask PennyFi follows the conversation Answers appear as they're written, a follow-up like "what about last month?" knows what you asked before, and it can now see last month, the year so far and this month's budget. Scan Receipt, beside the amount The button now sits next to the amount it fills in and scans a photo as soon as you pick it. Canceling the camera no longer removes a photo you had already attached. Adding a transaction, smoothed out It starts on the account you used last, keeps the payee you type, tells you when a rule will pick the category, and the confirmation has Undo. Balance Adjustment takes the real balance Enter what the account actually holds and PennyFi records the difference. Before, the number you entered was recorded as the change itself. Statement imports stop dropping amounts An amount alone on its line in a PDF statement was silently skipped, so its transaction could go missing. Those amounts now come through. App Lock covers everything A sheet left open when PennyFi went to the background stayed visible over the lock, and on Mac, Settings could be opened while locked. The lock now covers both. Ready for iPhone Duo Toolbars fit iPhone Duo's vertical bar and keep the buttons you use most in view. A taller Net Worth widget The extra-large Net Worth widget gains a portrait layout, and VoiceOver now reads all six of its figures instead of three. Readable buttons in dark themes Labels on the app's cyan buttons were hard to read in dark themes. They now switch to black there for clear contrast.
