Minimal Expense: Travel Ledger

Hi, it's the Minimal Developer. No new features this time. The whole release is about letting Deep Insights sit still. * Deep Insights stops restarting itself: open it, read at your own pace — and every half minute it used to quietly reload from scratch and send your scroll position back to the top. I finally caught why. While adding up your money it was also writing things in the background, and each write knocked the page over. It only reads now. * Easier on battery and data: with no connection (flight mode, abroad, a locked-down office network) it kept retrying the same request — over 300 times in 25 seconds, measured. Now one failure buys a minute of quiet. * Two share buttons put away: the one in Deep Insights, and the one on "The one who logs" in the monthly report. "Share this month" at the end of the report stays. One per report is enough. That's the report. Sometimes the way to make something better is to take things out.

Hi, it's the Minimal Developer. Rather a lot this time. In one line: your ledger has started talking back. * A weekly report, every Monday: where last week went, how many days you logged. It shows up on its own. No waiting for month end. * A thicker monthly report: new "An ordinary month" separates trips and big one-offs from the rest; "The one who logs" shows what time of day you tend to write things down; and it now compares against the same month last year. It also picks one note you wrote yourself and prints it, word for word. * Deep Insights, rebuilt: it now answers just two things — how far into the month you are (measured against your own past months on the same day, not against other people), and the days left (what's still going to be charged before month end). You can open it without a subscription. * Your ledger is searchable: search came to the transaction timeline, and matched words get underlined so you can see why a record turned up. * Trip ticket stub: when a trip ends, a stub appears in your ledger — departure, return, and how much you logged. Tap to look back, or tear it off. During a trial there's also a short checklist of what you haven't tried yet. * Tidying up: two phrases were missing their translations, so non-Chinese readers saw Chinese; and a few lines in Settings even I couldn't understand, now written in plain words. That's the report. One thing I learned building it: keep a ledger long enough and the numbers start speaking for themselves.

Hi! It's your minimalist developer. This update brings a big one: Accounts. Wallet, bank, e-wallet—give each its own home, and keep an eye on every balance while you track. * Accounts arrive: Create bank, cash, or e-wallet accounts in Settings, each with its own currency and starting balance. Your yen cash finally has a home. * Pick an account as you record: A new "Account" field shows where each expense comes from. Skip it and everything works exactly like before. * Transfer, deposit, adjust: Move money between accounts, withdraw cash for later, or adjust a balance that drifted—none of it touches your spending stats. Clean numbers, always. * Net worth at a glance: A new card on your home ledger totals all accounts in your main currency. Don't want it? Switch it off. * Smarter reports: Monthly reports gain "Net Worth" and "Account Ranking," Year in Review charts your year's highs and lows, and Insights tells you—for every 100 you earned, how much you kept. * A little oiling: Top bar buttons now share one consistent journal look, and subscribers no longer see a flash of the report card at launch. Where your money lives is now up to you.

Hi! Minimal developer here. This is our biggest update yet — the whole ledger got rebound, with quite a few new pages inside. * A brand-new journal look: warm paper tones and a terracotta seal across the entire app, soft Japanese-inspired category colors, and dark mode retuned page by page. * Monthly Report: on the 1st of each month, get a little report — spending trend, category ranking, a rhythm calendar, and a one-line summary. * Year in Review: a once-a-year ritual. Flip through your year and share it as a beautiful card. * Trip Recap, fully redesigned: page turns, seal stamps, paper texture — a proper keepsake for every journey. * Insights are live: get a nudge when a category runs hot, see cross-month trends at a glance, and view all fixed expenses in one place. * Transaction search: notes, categories, payment methods, amounts — find any entry in seconds. * PDF export: a printable report with summary and full transaction table. * Daily reminder + logging streak: a gentle knock to help the habit stick. * Bug fixes: the "include trip expenses" switch now keeps every stat in sync. Big makeover, same trusty ledger. Thoughts? Write me anytime.

Hi! Minimal developer here. Taught voice logging a new trick this time, and gave the Settings page a museum-worthy makeover. * Voice now understands payment methods: say "lunch 120, card" and it logs it to your credit card. It recognizes your custom payment methods too, and learns your habits the more you use it. * Headphones welcome: voice logging used to play deaf sometimes when you wore headphones. Found the culprit—headphone mics are slow to wake up. Now it waits patiently, and switches to the phone mic if needed. * Settings got a new outfit: numbered sections, fine lines, just-right breathing room, and a tiny red seal stamp. Hope it makes you smile every time you visit. That's all—off to brew some tea to celebrate.
