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.

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.

- 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.

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.

May 15, 2026

- Made reminder timing choices visible at the top of Settings, including the 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM timing details.
May 14, 2026

Version 1.1.2

May 13, 2026

- 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.

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.

- 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.

Version 1.1.1
May 11, 2026

May 6, 2026
