Update Notes
What's new and what changed in every Balancee release.
v1.1.0Latest2026-08-02
Savings Goals, Streaks & Card Locks
Everything new since 1.0.0.
New Features
- Savings goals — a new Savings tab. Create a goal with an emoji, a name and a target amount, then add to it or deduct from it as you go. Each goal gets its own detail screen, with progress shown as an animated jar that fills with liquid — real gravity, sloshing and droplets that respond to tilting your phone.
- Daily streak — the app records which days you were active and shows your current streak on Analytics. Backed by a new activity store, so it survives restarts and is included in backups.
- PIN lock for cards — lock any card behind a 4-digit PIN so its balance and details stay hidden. Locked cards show a lock indicator and ask for the PIN when opened. Set or change your PIN from Profile.
- PayItLater payment reminders — opt-in notifications for upcoming installments, firing at 9:00 AM on the due date and covering today, tomorrow and upcoming. They reschedule themselves whenever your installments change, with up to 60 queued at a time. Off by default; enable in Profile.
- Edit a card — cards can now be edited after creation, not only created and deleted.
- Category filters — filter chips on the card list and the template picker, so you can narrow down instead of scrolling.
- New app icon and logo — all app icons, launcher icons and splash screens now use the new Balancee cat mark, in light and dark variants.
Changing your PIN does not require the old one. That is deliberate: a forgotten PIN can never permanently strand a locked card.
Improvements
- Backup and restore now include your savings goals and your activity / streak history, not just cards and transactions.
- Archived cards ask for confirmation before restoring or deleting, and those actions moved off the list row to avoid accidental taps.
- Consistent profile header across Profile, Archived Cards, PayItLater and Edit Profile. "Edit Profile" was dropped from the settings list since the header now covers it.
- Settings and Theme rows show which option is currently selected.
- Theme colors reworked for better contrast and consistency; the streak card and analytics icons follow the theme instead of fixed colors.
- Smoother onboarding animations and transitions, with layouts that scale to the screen size.
- Refined card flip and card-to-detail transitions.
- Summary stat tiles on the PayItLater screens.
- "About App" reads the real version from the app config instead of a hardcoded string, so it can't drift again.
Fixes
- Cards displayed a fixed currency symbol instead of the currency picked in your profile. They now use your selected currency everywhere.
- Added missing back navigation on the profile card screen.
Under the Hood
- Android release builds run ProGuard and resource shrinking, cutting the shipped APK size.
- Analytics data handling simplified; unused series removed.
- Card components and the transition provider refactored.
- Removed unused assets and dead files.
