Accuracy & safety hardening — exact balances, safer imports & real security
This release makes your numbers exact and your data safer: transfers finally count everywhere, imports are more faithful, reminders tell the truth, and the app lock really locks.
Your balances, now exact
- A transfer created in the app now credits the destination account everywhere: balances, dashboard, net worth, reports, Siri and widgets — including the running balance in account lists.
- Expense and transfer splits can be saved again.
- Budget transferred out of an envelope no longer reappears the next month, and the Monthly and Annual budget views finally agree.
- Net worth includes accounts added after a report was first opened, and voided transactions no longer sneak into reports.
Currencies & crypto
- Switching your base currency while offline now recalculates every rate instantly — no more wrong conversions until the next sync.
- Outdated exchange rates are no longer shown as fresh.
- A crypto holding without a live price no longer fabricates a phantom loss, and the portfolio history chart is shown in your currency.
Safer imports
- Imported payees become real, deduplicated payees.
- "Replace existing" can no longer lose your originals if the import fails midway.
- Two same-day payments with the same amount but different bank references both import (MT940/CAMT).
- Yen and won amounts import correctly from QIF/OFX, and the Mac opens bank files straight from the Finder.
Reminders that tell the truth
- A payment due today is no longer skipped in western timezones, and reminders pushed past a weekend actually deliver.
- The daily digest and weekly summary now contain your real numbers — and stay silent when nothing happened.
- Paused or finished recurrences no longer clutter your upcoming lists and widgets.
Security
- The app lock now always engages with Face ID/Touch ID-only protection, and switching to a PIN can no longer produce a PIN that won't unlock.
- "View-only" family members can no longer modify shared data through file imports.
- "Delete Everything" now also removes scanned receipts and pending notifications.
- Wrong backup passwords are throttled against brute force.
Widgets, Siri & quick actions
- The widget "+" button opens the transaction composer even on a cold launch.
- The medium Net Worth widget shows a real 7-day net-worth curve.
- Siri picks the exact account you named and confirms with the account and a properly formatted amount.
Comfort & accessibility
- Fixed rare crashes when scrolling search screens; the Piloting report is smoother.
- Every small button is now easy to tap, and VoiceOver can dismiss every banner.
- Report exports are stamped with their period, hidden dashboard sections stay hidden in the wide layout, and hidden balances no longer hint at the sign through color.

Stability round — report exports fixed & freezes gone
This round is all about stability and reliability : report exports fixed, freezes eliminated, crypto finally counted in your net worth, a truly complete HBK backup, and a redesigned internal-transfer tool.
Report exports fixed
- "Export PDF" and "Export CSV" did nothing in reports — fixed everywhere (Trends, Monthly, Annual, Balance, Distribution, Loans, Budget, Crypto, Carbon).
Smoother everywhere
- Several multi-second freezes eliminated : during backups, internal-transfer detection, at launch, and during CSV/Excel exports. Importing large files is much smoother.
Net worth & internal transfers
- Your crypto holdings now count toward net worth everywhere (dashboard, reports, history).
- The "find past transfers" tool groups pairs by confidence — "Suggested" (pre-selected) and "To review" — with select-all per section. Dismiss a false positive for good (restorable from the toolbar), and unlink a transfer right from the transactions list.
Backup & more
- The HBK export now includes income streams, price alerts, saved filters and report configs, and the categorization learning history : a truly complete backup.
- Connected bank accounts grouped by bank (active first), free-trial eligibility now displays correctly, the Carbon report's premium PDF export is clearly marked with a crown, and security hardening on the bank connection.

Proactive budgeting — overdraft risk & price-hike alerts
This round puts budgeting in proactive mode : HomeBank now anticipates overspending and overdrafts, warns you about subscription price hikes, and adds everyday polish — plus a fix for sync failures caused by a routine certificate renewal.
Predictive budgeting
- Overspend-risk insight (Premium) : when a category is on track to go over its envelope, HomeBank flags it ahead of time — an "X% overspend risk" card — instead of waiting until you've already gone over.
- Early warning (Premium) : an optional notification warns you before you overspend, while there's still time to react.
Overdraft risk
- Monte Carlo forecast (Premium) : a new section in Piloting estimates your probability of going into the red over the coming months from your recurring income and expenses, with a worst-case / median / best-case range.
Subscriptions — price increases
- Get notified when a subscription's amount goes up, with a dedicated setting to mute just these alerts without touching your payment reminders.
Everyday polish
- iPhone gets a "Select All" button in transactions edit mode ; Mac adds manual list refresh, "Copy Memo" and an inline AI category suggestion in the table ; and the keyboard-shortcuts list is now reachable from Settings on iPhone and iPad.
Reliability
- Fixed a bug where exchange-rate, historical-FX and crypto-price syncs failed with a "Request was cancelled" error after a routine server certificate renewal — syncing is now resilient to future renewals too.

Budget your way — & smarter auto-categorization
Two big rounds in beta : the Budget hub now clearly separates what stays free (set up envelopes, see this month's spending) from what Premium adds (live pace, alerts, rollover, auto-allocation), auto-categorization is smarter and safer, and sharing, Shortcuts and Handoff are more polished and reliable.
Budget — free to plan, Premium to track
- Free to plan : creating and editing envelopes — amounts, seasonality and savings goals — stays free, and you can see this month's remaining budget at a glance.
- Premium tracking adds a live pace and end-of-month projection, over-budget alerts (in-app and push), real rollover carry-over and smart auto-allocation. The 30-day free trial is on the annual plan.
Smarter auto-categorization
- Auto-assign now skips reconciled transactions everywhere — preview, batch, launch and inline suggestions — and the "to review" badge clears once nothing is left.
- It no longer replaces a clean payee with a raw bank label and never suggests a card line like "CB 21/06 …" (cleanup across all 7 languages). Premium even tidies raw bank labels toward the names you already use.
Sharing, Shortcuts & Handoff
- Household : a read-only member is now clearly limited up front (no add, edit or invite), nothing is destroyed, and when a shared household ends the member side updates cleanly.
- System integration : the "Search" Home Screen quick action opens search in Accounts, Handoff works end-to-end for a specific envelope or transaction across iPhone, iPad and Mac, and homebank.app links open straight in the app.
- Bank connection : Lunch Flow now appears as its own clearly-labelled third-party connection. On Mac, "Cover overspend" and the Reports empty-state action reach parity with iOS.
Reliability & privacy
- Renaming a payee or category used on thousands of transactions no longer freezes the app — the change now propagates off the main thread.
- Backups now fail loudly instead of silently if a device key can't be written, and deleting a category or payee scrubs leftover references so nothing dangles.
- Crypto price history drops invalid values before charting, recurring transactions schedule correctly around weekends and month boundaries, and the Share Extension no longer carries financial-info data it didn't need.

Smarter imports & multi-currency accuracy
A big pass on imports and on anything that touches a second currency : bank files are read more faithfully, foreign-currency totals tell you when they're approximate, and the iPhone transaction list is more compact.
What's new
- Import wizard : when importing a CSV, set the currency, column separator and date order right in the wizard.
- Bank files (QIF, OFX/QFX, CSV, MT940, CAMT.053) are read far more faithfully : large and comma-decimal amounts are no longer dropped or multiplied, foreign-currency transactions keep their real amount and currency, and a single bad row no longer aborts the whole import.
- Honest foreign-currency totals : when a total uses an approximate (bundled) rate or skips a value it couldn't convert, the app now tells you instead of quietly showing a wrong figure — across the Dashboard, Net Worth, Budget, Distribution, Trends, Monthly and Annual.
- Compact iPhone transaction list : redesigned rows fit more on screen with clearer amounts.
- Settings, reorganised : household now sits under "Sync & Backup", account and plan items under "Subscription", with Manage and Settings aligned.
- New "Cloud Data" screen shows a record-count grid of what's actually stored in iCloud, and the Monthly report gains ← / → arrows to jump between months.
Performance & stability
- Bulk actions on big accounts — re-tagging, merging payees, batch-editing, applying rules, reassigning a deleted category — no longer freeze the app.
- Round-trip transfers between the same two accounts now compute the right balances, and your base currency no longer silently switches to US dollars on some devices.
- PDF exports get proper metadata and no longer produce blank pages, and VoiceOver now tells the Filter editor's "select all" buttons apart.

Receipt OCR & merchant logos
Less typing, more recognising. Scan a paper receipt, see brand logos in your lists, and let HomeBank suggest the right category.
Highlights
- Receipt OCR : scan a paper receipt from the transaction editor and HomeBank pre-fills amount, date and payee. Fully on-device, in 7 languages — the receipt stays attached to the transaction.
- Merchant logos : known merchants (Amazon, Netflix, Uber, Starbucks, Carrefour and 35+ more) now show their brand glyph in transaction lists. Unknown payees get a clean, colour-stable monogram.
- Smart category suggestion : creating a transaction with a known merchant proposes a sensible default category.
- Universal chart drill-down : tap a slice, bar or legend row in any report to open the matching transactions — including the Crypto allocation legend and Budget vs Actual.
- Historical exchange rates : multi-currency transactions are pinned to the rate of their date, so Net Worth, Distribution, Trends and Annual stay stable across days.

Carbon footprint report
See the CO₂ impact behind your spending — free, on-device, and now adapted to your country.
What's new
- Carbon footprint report (free) : estimate the CO₂ behind your transactions, with a 6-month trend chart, a sustainability profile and per-transaction overrides.
- Country-adjusted factors : the report now adapts to your country, covering 32 countries with category-specific factors for food, home heating and aviation.
- Your own annual CO₂ target : set a personal carbon target in Settings and compare it against the report.

More reliable sync & backups
iCloud sync, household sharing and backups are steadier across devices — fewer duplicates, clearer progress, and faster first-device setup.
Highlights
- iCloud restore without duplicates : restoring during onboarding no longer creates a duplicate of every category, payee and account, and the restore sheet now shows live counters and closes itself when it's done.
- Faster first-device sync : five device-only data sets now stay on the device that wrote them, cutting a fresh-device sync from around 85 s to about 10 s and freeing iCloud quota.
- Household sharing that completes : turning sharing on or off for a big account now reliably finishes, you can share a joint account that has transfers to your private accounts (their names stay invisible to the other member), and the iCloud sync indicators stay live in Settings.
- Backups that keep up : large backups (over 100 MB) no longer block the screen, encryption runs off the main thread, restoring a big backup no longer balloons memory, and receipts are now included in backups and fully restored.

Security & privacy hardening
A broad pass on what protects your data : a tougher App Lock, encrypted backups, and far less of your financial detail ever leaving the device.
Highlights
- Tougher App Lock : Face ID / Touch ID / PIN now re-enforces when you return to the app, detects a newly added Face ID or fingerprint and forces a re-auth, and closes bypass paths via deep links, Handoff, widgets and Siri.
- Encrypted backups, hardened : backup metadata and preferences are now encrypted with AES-GCM, backup passwords are stored with a device-bound key, and wrong-password attempts are rate-limited with an escalating lockout.
- Less of your detail leaves the device : amounts, IBANs, payees and file paths are no longer written to the system log, widgets follow privacy-sensitive redaction, and notifications offer a discreet mode that hides the payee and envelope on your lock screen.
- Screen-capture protection : the privacy blur that covers your screen during screen recording or AirPlay mirroring now also covers system sheets like the document picker and alerts.

Site update
A quick polish pass on homebank.app — no app changes.
Worth checking
- Sun / moon toggle in the top nav to force light or dark, overriding your system setting. Your choice is remembered.
- Accessibility page: more generous spacing between sections, easier to read.
- Security page: backup encryption correctly described as AES-GCM (was previously "ChaChaPoly" by mistake).
- FAQ fixed: clicking + expands / collapses again, and an open card no longer stretches its row-sibling.
