Now

Added

• Full-screen ringing view with the alarm name, the current time and styled Snooze and Stop buttons below
• It opens by itself on a locked and an unlocked phone and from inside other apps, so no loud pop-up notification shows
• The banner on the alarm list sends you to the matching permission settings: display over other apps first, then the permission page of Xiaomi phones

Fixed

• A one-time alarm no longer stays snoozed and enabled when it is stopped with the shake challenge after a snooze on a locked phone. Finishing the shake challenge now always ends the alarm
• The ringing screen could close itself right after opening, which looked like a black lock screen

Added

• Expense Tracker passed Google Play’s production requirements on 19 October and is now available to everyone on the Google Play Store, starting with v1.24.0
• My first Android app shipped to live users

Changed

• Every Server Action now returns one shared result type: an error on failure, or success plus data on success
• The delete, hide, unhide and onboarding actions used to return nothing. They now report errors, and the delete dialog and category rows display them

Fixed

• The Money Manager import no longer assumes EUR and German headers. It follows your currency setting for the amount column and for skipping rows in other currencies
• The import reads column headers and the Expense and Income labels in English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese. The Spanish, French and Portuguese spellings are best guesses, because I had no real exports to check them against
• The review summary now names the skipped currency, with new text in all five locale files

Changed

• Settings is now organized into Preferences, Data, Account and Help and support, instead of one long list
• On and off options in Settings, and the confirmation steps for risky actions, are now toggle switches

Fixed

• Exporting and re-importing your data as CSV now keeps your category colors, hidden default categories and skipped recurring months

Changed

• Income now shows an upward trend icon and expenses a downward trend icon, so the direction is clear at a glance

Added

• A new setting turns off swiping left and right to change the month

Changed

• Income and expenses now also show an arrow icon and are announced as income or expense by screen readers, not just by color and sign
• Currencies that share a symbol, such as the Canadian and Australian dollar, now show their code in the amount field
• Secondary text is easier to read in both light and dark mode
• The dashboard loads faster because your settings are fetched in one request

Fixed

• Swiping no longer triggers while you select text or scroll sideways inside a list

Added

• A category picker dialog replaces the category dropdowns in the add and edit forms for transactions and recurring transactions. Categories show as two-column chips in a scrollable dialog, with a New category button that creates and selects a category. The list shrinks while the name field is open, so the phone keyboard cannot cover it
• Guest accounts now show a note near the logout button: “Guest accounts can’t log back in. Logging out deletes your data.” It is translated into all five languages

Changed

• The date format setting is clearer. Automatic now shows what it resolves to, for example “Automatic (Deutsch: DD.MM.YYYY)”
• Recurring transactions say “Name” instead of “Description” in the add and edit forms, with the hint “Name (e.g. Rent)”. Only the label changed, not the database
• The Settings footer now says “Web version” and notes that the app updates without a Play Store update, which explains why its number can differ from Google Play

Fixed

• Insights now generates recurring items for the viewed month, or January through the current month in Year mode, so totals no longer depend on which months you opened
• The landing page header no longer overflows sideways on phones in longer translations such as German, and the free and ad-free tagline chip grows to two lines instead of overflowing
• The edit transaction, edit recurring and category rename fields now have placeholders

Changed

• Deleting a transaction, category or recurring transaction now asks for confirmation first
• A deleted category stays on the transactions that used it instead of turning them into Uncategorized, and you can create a new category with the same name
• Changing your password signs you out on all your other devices
• Bigger buttons for editing and deleting, the top menu and the month pickers, so they are easier to tap
• Easier to use with a screen reader: errors and confirmations are announced, loading spinners are labeled and the month pickers say which month they open
• The focus ring around text fields is clearer for keyboard users
• Import messages and the app description now follow your language

Changed

• Confirming your email takes one extra tap on the verification page, so email scanners can no longer use up your link
• Easier to use with a keyboard or screen reader: the top menu is labeled and marks the current page, there is a skip to content link, windows are named, the tour steps are announced and the Expense and Income buttons show where the focus is
• Exported CSV files can no longer run formulas when opened in a spreadsheet, and importing them restores your original text

Fixed

• Selecting text in a form field and releasing the mouse outside the window no longer closes it

Added

• Password fields have an eye button to show or hide what you typed

Changed

• Date fields follow the date format you chose in Settings, for example DD.MM.YYYY, and still offer a calendar picker
• Email addresses are no longer case sensitive, so signing in and resetting your password work with any capitalization
• Changing your password now limits wrong guesses too
• New transactions and recurring transactions default to today’s date in your own time zone, and the current month follows it
• Importing data shows a clear message instead of technical errors, and rejects very large files and invalid dates

Fixed

• A failed login, signup, password reset or edit no longer clears what you typed
• Someone guessing wrong passwords for your email can no longer lock you out of logging in
• Category names are compared exactly, so characters like percent and underscore no longer cause false duplicates
• The app no longer keeps a broken file in its offline cache after a temporary network problem

Added

• Insights shows a loading animation, centered on screen, while you switch between expenses, income, month and year
• Swipe left and right on Insights to move between months or years

Changed

• Stronger protection against repeated login and guest sign-up attempts, and the password reset form is now rate limited too

Fixed

• Recurring transactions can no longer show up twice in a month, and moving one to another month no longer brings it back in the original month
• Invalid dates, oversized amounts and bad links no longer cause errors, and a transaction can only use your own or the default categories

Fixed

• The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is readable again on phones set to light mode

This is an Android package update only. The web app is unchanged since v1.15.0.

Added

• New setting to remember the last category you used and preselect it when adding a transaction. It is off by default

Changed

• The Add transaction form now sits at the top of the screen and scrolls
• The app now starts in your phone’s language
• Log out moved from the top bar to Settings. Guests now get a clear warning there, with the option to create an account instead

Fixed

• The keyboard no longer hides the Add button in the Add transaction form
• Chrome no longer offers saved passwords, cards and addresses while you type an amount or description
• Dates now look the same in the form and in the list

Added

• Insights has a new All tab. It shows income, expenses and net total for the month or year at a glance, with both category breakdowns below

Changed

• Updated the contact email address shown on the landing page, the privacy policy and the account deletion page

Added

• “Try without an account” on the login and sign-up screens. It leads to an explainer page, then starts a guest session with no email or password
• Guest accounts have no limits: every feature works as in a regular account
• Guest safeguards: guests are told up front that data is kept for 30 days and can be lost if cookies are cleared or the app is reinstalled, and that logging out is final. A countdown banner shows the time left, and a confirm prompt appears before logging out
• Upgrade in place: guests can add an email and password in Settings, and all their data stays
• Automatic cleanup: expired guest accounts are deleted after 30 days, by a daily scheduled job, whenever a new guest starts, and when an expired guest reopens the app
• “Delete account” in Settings, with a confirmation and a password for regular accounts. It removes the account and all its data
• A public /delete-account page that explains how to delete an account, with an email fallback. It is the link Google Play requires

Changed

• The privacy policy covers guest accounts and account deletion, and says the app is intended for ages 13 and over
• All new text is translated into English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese
• Database migration 0012 made email and password optional and added the guest flag
• RELEASING.md now describes the feature/* to develop to main flow

Added

• Appearance setting in Settings: light, dark or follow the device
• Date format setting in Settings: DD.MM.YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD or automatic
• A 6-step onboarding tour for new users, replayable from Settings. Existing users are marked as already onboarded, so only new signups see it automatically
• New loading animation: coins drop in, bounce into a stack, hold for a second, then fall away through the bottom. It replaces the spinning logo on page-level loading
• A teaser video, re-recorded on the final design, on the landing page and in the README

Changed

• The whole app now uses the Maxtasy design system tokens, Schibsted Grotesk and JetBrains Mono, with sharp 2px cards and 6px controls
• Login and signup pages have a brand lockup
• The landing page is rebuilt on the same system and is always dark
• New logo: the coin-stack mark replaces the ring, with a new favicon and app icons
• Local development uses a Docker database

Fixed

• npm run dev no longer registers the service worker, which had been serving stale files

Added

• New todo-mark logo and favicon set from the design system, in the header and on the login screen
• Cloudflare Turnstile on login and sign-up. It stays hidden unless a challenge is needed and passes tokens to Supabase
• Public /privacy and /imprint pages, linked in the footer
• Delete account in the account menu, which permanently removes the account and all its data
• A “Resend confirmation email” button when logging in with an unconfirmed email
• vercel.json with an SPA rewrite, security headers and long caching for hashed assets
• Mail from noreply@maxtasy.me through Resend

Changed

• Confirmation links return to the app’s own address
• Passwords need at least 8 characters, on the client and in Supabase
• npm run dev uses a local Supabase stack. Production credentials live only in .env.production and Vercel, and local auth settings mirror production
• Tests: 176, up from 167

Fixed

• Production RLS audited: every table is protected by per-user policies

Added

• After saving or switching on an alarm, a message shows how long until it rings (“Rings in 7 h 32 min”)
• German translation. The app follows the phone’s language
• Gradual volume: the alarm starts quiet and gets louder over 45 seconds. It is a global setting and can be overridden per alarm
• New app icon, the Wakku mark from the Maxtasy design system

Changed

• “Skip next” on the “Next alarm” notification skips only the next ring of a repeating alarm
• The per-alarm switch is now “Override global settings”

Fixed

• A snooze or skip pending when the phone or app restarted now keeps its time

Added

• A design system for future projects

Added

• Expense Tracker, a mobile-first web app that installs like a native app

Added

• First job, at an e-commerce agency

Changed

• Got serious about web development

Added
