TillNext: Paycheck Planner Changelog

Public notes for meaningful TillNext changes. This page focuses on user-facing updates, privacy posture, and support information.

Version 1.1.8

Updated: June 8, 2026

June 8, 2026

• Added Tilly's optional RPG mini-game from Settings, with an overworld, regional bill battles, shops, boss encounters, and saved progress between launches.
• Expanded Tilly's RPG with one-screen biome exploration, edge-to-edge room travel, the castle Car Tax Mech boss, battle rewards that upgrade Tilly's abilities, and more persistent progress.
• Added RPG music and sound effects for overworld travel, battles, victory, defeat, menu selections, walking, enemy actions, and the Car Tax Mech boss theme.
• Kept the mini-game local to the app, with no accounts, tracking, ads, analytics, or network services added.

Version 1.1.6

Updated: May 30, 2026

May 30, 2026

• Fixed the medium Tilly widget so the layout no longer clips at the top and bottom — removed the quick-add buttons to give Tilly and the balance text room to breathe.
• Fixed the small Tilly widget so text is no longer truncated — Tilly is sized to leave room for the balance and month label.
• Added Tilly's full character to the Tilly Home Screen widget so arms, legs, and the clock body are visible.
• Added more idle animations to the in-app Tilly companion: shimmy, nod, jump, squint, dance, sing, point, and floss.
• Fixed Home Needs attention so the current-month cashflow dip notice is hidden when browsing a future month.

May 26, 2026

• Fixed a Month calendar regression where paid end-of-month expenses could be counted again after they were already reflected in Cash today.
• Improved Tilly's in-app companion look and motion so the optional helper feels more like the reference mascot.

May 25, 2026

• Added Tilly, an optional draggable clock companion that can stay on screen while planning.
• Added a Tilly companion setting in Display so the helper can be turned on or off anytime.
• Made Tilly tappable for quick planning todos that follow the current Home, Recurring, Month, or Settings tab.

Version 1.1.5

Updated: May 21, 2026

May 21, 2026

• Aligned Home heads-up warning logic with Cash today Safe cash projections to avoid contradictory month warnings.
• Fixed Home Needs attention so stale current-month cashflow notices are removed when Cash today shows the month is covered.
• Fixed Safe cash so an entered Cash today amount is not capped by an older month-start balance.

Version 1.1.4

Updated: May 19, 2026

May 19, 2026

• Improved Safe cash math when future items are marked paid early, so they affect Cash today immediately without being counted again on their due date.
• Added a way to remove Cash difference items after reconciling Cash today.
• Fixed Cash difference removal so the removed item does not immediately come back from the prior saved baseline.
• Improved Safe cash detail totals, signs, and money-field formatting so income, expenses, and two-decimal amounts are easier to verify.
• Fixed recurring income status updates so marking income Done is reflected consistently in month planning.

May 15, 2026

• Moved Cash today into the Safe cash explanation so the current bank number and safe cash math can be reviewed and edited together.
• Added a Cash difference row when Cash today is above or below the current plan, keeping Home income and expense totals reconciled with the real bank number.
• Made Settings calmer by starting sections collapsed.
• Made reminder timing choices visible at the top of Settings, including the 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM timing details.

May 14, 2026

• Added optional on-device reminders for all upcoming Home items, with timing choices in Settings.
• Kept reminders private and local to the device, using the same upcoming items already shown in TillNext.

Version 1.1.2

Updated: May 13, 2026

May 13, 2026

• Made Recurring easier to scan by starting recurring income and expense closed, opening each card with a tap, and adding a Jump to top action near the bottom.
• Changed Home so Upcoming and Completed start closed, while still showing separate incoming and outgoing totals at a glance.
• Tightened the Month calendar layout so the full week fits without horizontal scrolling.
• Kept Sticky safe cash focused on Home so Recurring and Month stay clear while planning.
• Improved Sticky safe cash so the compact Safe cash display replaces the large Home card and stacks cleanly with top notices.

May 12, 2026

• Added Home display settings to hide Cash today prompts and keep Safe cash pinned while scrolling.
• Improved the pinned Safe cash display so it stacks with trial and off-month notices instead of covering them.
• Tightened the Month calendar into square day cells while keeping each day's balance and cashflow markers visible.
• Kept past Month calendar balances visible in a muted style, so earlier days still show their amounts without looking current.
• Limited the Cash was not updated today heads-up to the current month, so past and future months stay focused on that month's plan.
• Added support for Apple-managed offer codes for the lifetime unlock. Offer codes are redeemed outside TillNext through Apple, and the app recognizes the verified unlock when it appears.

Version 1.1.1

May 11, 2026

• Improved Cash today checks so marking income done or expenses paid updates the saved cash amount without jumping the Home screen to Completed.
• Moved the Home undo prompt to the top of the screen and added a clearer Jump to top action after Completed.

• Fixed Delete All Data so saved bank/cash state is cleared and first-time setup appears again.
• Improved first-time setup navigation so the Home step can go back without snapping forward again.

• Fixed the large Home Screen widget so completed or skipped items are no longer shown in Next up.
• Removed confusing animated Safe cash change copy after adding one-time income or expenses.

May 10, 2026

• Improved purchase restore feedback so Restore Purchases now confirms a restored unlock, explains when no lifetime unlock is found, and clearly identifies forced expired preview builds.
• Kept expired-trial Settings focused on manual CSV backup, iCloud backup, and reset, while restore/import and automatic daily backup controls stay available only during trial or after unlock.
• Made Month calendar daily balances easier to read while keeping the full month visible, and added a Settings option to switch between compact K amounts and full numbers.
• Updated export and backup filenames to use the user's local calendar day.
• Improved backup controls so CSV exports and complete backups save directly to iCloud Drive, while iCloud restores now show a timestamped list inside TillNext.

• Added Restore from CSV plus manual backup and restore through Files or iCloud Drive from Settings.

• Fixed recurring card payments so newly card-paid items are included in the repeated payment without creating duplicate Card payment rows when monthly repeat is turned off.

• Fixed future-month Month calendar jumps so Home scrolls to the selected day immediately without needing a manual nudge.

• Fixed Month calendar day taps so current and future months open Home at the pressed date more reliably, including days that do not map to a single visible row.

• Added compact note previews on Home and Recurring rows so saved notes stay visible after leaving the editor.
• Removed the bottom month picker placement option so the month picker stays consistently at the top of planning screens.
• Made item notes available from a small notes button in edit screens, so the main edit form stays short and easier to scan.

May 8, 2026

May 7, 2026

• Added a Repeat each month option for card payments so regular card payoff amounts can show up month after month on Home.

May 6, 2026

• Fixed the Recurring tab so income and expenses with an Until date only appear in months where they still have an occurrence.
• Fixed recurring income and expenses with an end date so cached future months refresh when the Until date changes, preventing stopped recurring items from staying visible in later months.

May 5, 2026

• Added a Settings toggle to hide the extra balance controls from Home without deleting saved balance details.
