Version history

Every Pocketbird update

The same notes you see in the app — newest release first, with what actually changed in each one.

  1. Version 1.9.1

    LatestNovember 2026

    • Category Insight

      Tap any category to see everything about it in one place: what you spent against last cycle and your budget, a six-cycle trend, how its subcategories split, where and when you spend, and the items you buy most. "See insight for every category" on Summary puts them side by side.

    • Several photos on one entry

      Attach up to 10 photos to a transaction — the receipt, the slip, the thing you bought. Pick several at once from your library, swipe through them full screen, and remove any one on its own. A receipt photo you already had stays as the first one. This one was asked for by a Pocketbird user.

    • Categories, redesigned

      Categories has Expenses and Income tabs, this cycle's amount on every row, and subcategories that fold away under their parent. Swipe to hide or delete, or tap Edit to reorder and hide in one go. Every transaction list also shows the account each entry came from or went into.

    • Your accounts and what to review, on Home

      Home now has an Accounts card — what's in your bank, e-wallet and cash, adding up to the same figure as the headline — with a Cash check on the cash row. A To Review card lists slips and imports still waiting for you, and hides once there's nothing left. When a category budget is close to its limit, the Insight card says so. All three are on the web too.

    • Card bills, on the right day

      Card and loan due dates are now the real date on your statement, even on a weekend or holiday, so nothing shows overdue early. When you record a newer statement, the old bill no longer shows overdue — it shows as carried into the new one — and Pocketbird asks once whether you already paid it. Paying a card a few days early now counts toward the instalments drawn on it.

    • Card statements that match your bank

      Type the statement date the way your bank prints it — the card shows the billing period it means. "Due this month" is the closed bill only, never new spending. A charge your bank puts on the next bill moves there in one tap, and a gap bigger than a month's interest asks you to check for a missing or doubled entry before anything is booked as interest.

    • Instalments that follow your card bill

      Instalments inside a card are marked paid when you pay the bill they're on — no separate button. For a plan with interest, the card counts the principal you still owe and adds each month's interest when it's billed, and you can type the interest your statement prints to match the bank exactly.

    • Tap a notification, go straight there

      Tapping a notification while Pocketbird is already open now takes you straight to its screen. Before, it only got there after you left the app and came back.

    • Shop wallet entries stay in step

      Money you borrowed from a shop's wallet, and shop costs you paid with your own money, are now locked in your own list: they say why and link to the shop wallet, where you settle or reverse them. Shop search now looks through every sale and cost, not only the latest ones. And after you accept an updated privacy notice, the wallet works straight away — if your settings are still syncing, it says so.

    • Close the shop day in one pass

      Close the day now takes everything at once: sales split into cash and transfer, the day's costs, the cash you counted against what the drawer should hold, and how much to keep for tomorrow or move to you.

    • Check a card that's in credit

      Check balance on a credit card now has an Owed / In credit switch, so a card you've overpaid can be matched to what the bank shows too.

    • Ask for a feature

      Settings now has Request a Feature and the Roadmap: send an idea or a problem, get a link to follow it, and see what's planned.

    • Also in this release

      At the largest text sizes, money fields open a large number pad of their own. Debts show "Overpaid" instead of a bare ฿0 and an Interest badge for the cost of borrowing. While a filter is on, the ledger's Net reads "Net · Whole cycle". A planner goal on a linked pocket counts the account's real balance. Thai wording is consistent: ใบแจ้งยอด, ชวน for inviting friends and กระเป๋าที่แชร์. Decimals typed with a comma, Thai search keeping tone marks, and reminders that plan faster round it out.

  2. Version 1.9.0

    October 2026

    • A wallet for every shop

      Each shop now has its own wallet on Pockets: what is really in the shop, worked out from its sales and costs. Add capital or take out profit in one step, and the move lands in your own account too — adding capital isn't counted as your spending, and profit you take out counts as your income. Set the starting balance to what's in the shop today, and choose whether shop money counts in your net worth (it's off unless you turn it on).

    • Money channels and reconciling

      Tell a shop where its money sits — the cash drawer, the shop's PromptPay or its bank account — and pick the channel when you log a sale or a cost. To reconcile, count what's really there: the difference is recorded as an adjustment, never as a sale or a cost.

    • Borrow from the shop, or pay for it

      Borrowing from a shop's wallet adds a debt you pay back, and paying a shop cost with your own money records the cost for the shop and what it owes you in Debts. Paying or collecting there settles with the wallet, and none of it counts as your income or spending.

    • Shops, quicker to run

      Sale points name the markets and stalls where you sell, and the Sell sheet picks one for you: the one whose pin you're at, else the one that sells today, else the last one you used. Logging a sale or a cost now uses the system number pad with every detail on one page, and Shop settings in Back Office gathers the shop wallet, money channels, entry defaults, a day-close reminder and Export CSV.

    • Pockets linked to an account

      A pocket can now show the real balance of one of your accounts — for money you keep in its own account, like a down payment in a savings account. A linked pocket isn't counted again in what you've set aside.

    • Places: where you spent, filled in for you

      Turn on Settings → Privacy & Data → Places and the Add sheet fills in the shop you're at — pick another nearby place, a store inside a mall, search, or drop a pin. The second time you log at a place it remembers your usual amounts, category and account, and branches of one brand share what they've learned. Location rules can tag Work at the office on weekdays, and a slip or receipt photo can suggest where it was paid. Location is off until you turn it on, entries you back-date never get today's place, and Delete All Location Data removes it from this device and our server while every entry stays.

    • A map of your spending

      Insights → See it on a map shows this period's spending as bubbles sized by how much you spent there, with filters and a heat view. Tap a place for its totals, visits, monthly trend, what you buy most and where the same item is cheaper; Location insights compares spending near the office and near home. Ask Pocketbird answers "How much at CentralWorld this month?", a trip gets a route map you can share with amounts hidden — never your home or work — and the web app has a Places page.

    • Reminders when you leave a shop

      Optional place reminders ask "Log Americano ฿65.00?" with your usual amounts after you leave a shop you often log, nudge you at a fuel stop or when a mall's budget is more than half used, offer to start a trip when you stay far from home, and turn the evening reminder into a list of the stops you forgot. They need location Always, never track you continuously, stay off in quiet hours and send at most three a day.

    • Permissions, asked for only when you need them

      Pocketbird asks for notifications, the camera, photos and location only when you reach for the feature, with a short explanation first — never as the app opens. Settings shows what each permission is for and whether it's on, notifications are grouped by type with quiet hours, and App Lock says plainly what to do when Face ID isn't set up.

    • Tips from the bird

      Pocketbird Tips, in Menu and in Settings, shows what Pocketbird can do, with search and a page for each tip, and remembers what you've already tried. The bird on Home suggests one tip at a time, and Let the bird suggest things in Tips turns that off.

    • Also in this release

      Coming Up names who you share a bill with or pay it first for, and shows that their part is owed to you. An investment's gain or loss is now measured against everything you've paid in: its starting amount plus Add Money, minus Withdraw. Our privacy notice is now version 2.2, covering location and the features added since 2.1; you'll be asked to review it once.

  3. Version 1.8.0

    October 2026

    • Pocketbird on Apple Watch

      Your watch shows what you can spend today and your own Quick Log buttons, so a regular expense is one tap from your wrist — your iPhone saves the entry. A complication keeps today's figure on your watch face. The watch has no sign-in of its own: everything comes from the iPhone it's paired with.

    • Pockets you can share with family or friends

      Turn on Share with others when you create a pocket and invite family or friends with a link. Members have roles, put money in, and can borrow from the pocket and pay it back, and they see only that pocket's entries. Personal and shared pockets live in one list, and a pocket can be left out of Safe to Spend and reports. Shared pockets need cloud sync, and they're on the web too.

    • A new Menu, and a simpler Settings with search

      More is now Menu: your profile, live money tiles, your tools and every screen in one place, with a dot when a bill is due soon. Settings is grouped into a few pages, with a search that finds a setting by its name. Some things moved: Quick Log buttons, Round-Up Savings, Siri & Shortcuts and Calendar feed are under Tools in Menu (in Settings on iPad), Invite Friends and Change Password are on My Profile — tap your name at the top of Settings — and Version History is under Settings → About → Version & Policies.

    • Recurring, redesigned

      Recurring groups your bills by when they're due, with each bill's logo, and you can mark one paid, skip it or snooze it right from the list. Each bill's page shows its history cycle by cycle, and a bill-due notification now opens straight to it.

    • Shops, redesigned: Today, Overview and Back Office

      A shop now opens on Today: today's sales and costs, yesterday beside them, and closing the day at the bottom. Overview shows profit for the period you pick and what needs attention, and Back Office holds the shop's details, the team with when each person last logged, invites and settings. Logging a sale or cost is quicker, from a dock at the bottom of the shop, the shop list shows every shop's day at a glance, and Home can show a card with the last 7 days' profit and daily sales.

    • Invite friends and collect ลูกนกน้อย

      Your own code to copy or share is on My Profile: open Settings — from Profile & Settings in Menu on iPhone — and tap your name at the top. When a friend you invite logs 10 transactions in their first 7 days, you each get one ลูกนกน้อย — up to 9 a year, and each one lasts 12 months. ลูกนกน้อย are saved to your account; they can't be bought and have no cash value. A friend can enter your code in their first 7 days, and Invite Friends is on the web too.

    • A profile worth showing off

      My Profile now shows the days you've logged, how many transactions you've recorded and your current streak, with your invite code and a card you can share in one tap. Founding members get an Early Bird badge. Your name and photo are edited from the Edit button, as before.

    • Remind a friend with a link

      On money someone owes you, Make a Link to Send creates a page that shows only that amount, the due date, your name and your invite code — your friend doesn't need Pocketbird to open it, and nothing else from Pocketbird is on it. Links last 60 days and you can stop sharing at any time. On the web too.

    • Made around how you get paid and how you spend

      Tell Pocketbird how you get paid — when you start, or later under Settings → About You — and Home puts what suits you first. A new entry suggests a category, account and tags from the day, time and amount you usually spend, says why, and is yours to correct; the guessing happens on your device. Choose the voice of your cycle recap under Settings → Voice & Ask Rules, and show years as Buddhist (2569) or Gregorian (2026) under Settings → Display.

    • Estimate your tax deductions, and export a year-end report

      Tax deductions, on Summary, estimates your Thai personal income tax deductions from what you already log: how much of each one you've used this year and how much room is left before 31 December. It's an estimate, not tax advice. Export on Summary can now make a year-end report for the tax year, as Excel, PDF or CSV. Both are on the web too.

    • Card instalments follow the bank's billing, and a top-up bonus is one step

      An instalment plan on a card now counts its periods the way the issuer bills them — from the statement the plan starts on, at the monthly amount the bank charges, with the last one taking the remainder — and a plan's term and start date can be changed after you save it. A plan you were already paying before you tracked the card picks up where it is without counting as new spending, a plan's interest is recorded once on the purchase, and a card's statement shows the instalments not yet billed. A top-up that gives you more than you pay — pay 500, get 600 — is one step: enter what you actually received and the bonus is saved as income. On the web too.

    • Compare with statement reads your card app's list, and slips learn your card

      Compare with statement can now check an account against the transaction list in your bank or card app — as screenshots or pasted text — as well as a statement file. An entry logged up to 3 days off is matched and listed under Logged on a different day with a one-tap Fix date, several entries that add up to one line count as that line, and a charge refunded in full no longer shows as missing. When a slip or receipt prints card digits no account has, the account you pick can remember them in one tap, so the next one lands there by itself.

    • Coming Up as a calendar, and Summary for past cycles

      Coming Up can show a month calendar, with a dot on each day money moves in or out — tap a day for its bills and its net. Summary steps back through past cycles with ‹ ›, and its headline and Category Budgets open the cycle you're looking at. Automation rules can have exceptions — a category, an account or a time of day they skip — and News from Pocketbird in Settings keeps the announcements we send you.

    • Liquid Glass on Home and Ask, −฿ for money out, and a gentle shimmer

      Home and Ask Pocketbird take on Apple's Liquid Glass, and Home's top card shows what's safe to spend per day from the money in your accounts, line by line down to what's left for the rest of the cycle. Money going out reads −฿ everywhere, in the app and on the web, and while a screen loads it shows a gentle shimmer in the shape of what's coming instead of a spinner.

    • Your investments count in your net worth

      Add your funds, RMF and Thai ESG, provident fund, stocks, gold, crypto or property under Investments — from the net-worth card on Summary or from Accounts — and their value is added to your net worth. Update the value whenever you check your statement or app; Pocketbird doesn't fetch prices. Add Money moves cash from an account into an investment and Withdraw moves it back: your net worth stays the same and it never counts as spending or income, so your budget and plans aren't thrown off. Each investment shows what you've paid in, your gain or loss and its history. It's on the web too, and a connected assistant can read and update it.

    • A receipt with many items is one bill now

      A receipt you split into items used to fill your lists with one row per item. It's now kept as one bill: lists show it as a single row with how many items it has and what the promotions saved, and it opens to every item, by item or by category, each against its list price. Before you save, each line has its category — Category for N empty items fills the blank ones in one pick — discounts such as coupons, points or a member discount are rows of their own, and a footer reads list price minus discounts equals what you paid, with Save waiting until it adds up; a small gap can be booked as a discount. Items you logged one by one can be put together with Group into one receipt, the bill's date and time are edited once for every item, items can be dragged into the order printed on the receipt, and a photo of the slip can be attached. Account activity, categories, tags, payees, search, trips and pockets all show the bill as one row, with how many of its items a filtered list holds. Each item is still its own entry, so balances, budgets and totals are exactly what they were. Show Receipts Item by Item in Settings brings back one row per item, Insights adds up what promotions saved you, and it's all on the web too.

    • Paying off a debt no longer counts as spending, and Summary leads with what's left after bills

      A loan or debt instalment was counted as spending, so your spending, budgets and insights were swollen by money that was really paying down what you owe. Debt repayments now stay out of every spending figure, in the app and on the web; the interest and fees on them still count. Summary shows them on their own in a new Debt payments this cycle card, by kind of debt, with principal, interest and fees. Summary's headline is now Left after bills — the money in your accounts minus what Coming Up says goes out in the next 30 days — with In accounts, Owed on cards and Net Worth beside it. Net worth now starts from your account balances, the same total Accounts shows, and an instalment contract already inside a card's balance is counted once. The Include Debts in Net Worth switch is gone: net worth always takes your debts off.

    • Every debt says when it ends and what each payment paid

      A debt's page and every row on Debts now show when it ends and how many payments are left — Ends Sep 2027 · 12 payments left, with ≈ when a loan's interest makes it an estimate — and the last payment when it's a smaller one. Recording a payment on a debt you owe takes an optional interest and fee, the payment history shows principal and interest for each payment, and that interest counts in Cost of borrowing. A payment short of the instalment shows Partly paid instead of paid, and progress is how many instalments are covered, the same on Debts, the debt's page and Debt Insights. A debt with a schedule lists each period, paying more than one instalment asks Pay N periods ahead?, and a new card contract asks once whether the bank's first instalment is a different amount. And when someone pays you back more than they still owe, the payment settles the debt exactly and the extra is saved as its own entry in a category you pick — the same when you pay more than you owe. On the web too.

    • Pay Bills pays loans and card bills too, in one save

      The Pay Bills sheet now lists the same bills Coming Up does — anything overdue first, then loan instalments, card bills and recurring bills, with nothing listed twice — and a card bill is paid as a transfer into the card. Pick a different account for any bill, save them all at once, and undo all of them with one tap. Home has a Next Bills card with the next three, overdue first, and a way into Pay Bills. A card whose latest statement you recorded with a ฿0 minimum has nothing to pay, so it no longer shows up as a bill in Coming Up, Home, Pay Bills, reminders or Left after bills. On the web too.

    • See what borrowing costs you, and record card interest in one tap

      When a card's statement total doesn't match what Pocketbird counted, Record the difference splits the gap into Interest, Bank fee, Late fee or Can't find it — one tap each, and recording again edits the same entries instead of adding more. Cost of borrowing, from the Debts screen and Summary, adds up the interest and fees you've paid this month, this year and all time, by card and month by month. Before a card is due, it also tells you about how much interest paying only the minimum would add to the next statement — set the card's interest rate in Edit for a closer figure. The same is on the web, and a connected assistant can read it.

    • Paying a card: both balances in view, and the instalments it covered

      Moving money between accounts now shows both balances and what each will be afterwards, warns — without stopping you — when a bank, cash or e-wallet account would go below zero, and offers amounts to tap: Transfer all, Top up to, the last amount, round amounts and, into a card, its minimum, its full statement or what it owes now. Swap accounts and your last three pairs are a tap away. When a payment into a card also pays instalment contracts on it, Mark the instalments in this payment says which ones, so each contract counts as paid. A slip whose recipient is one of your cards offers Record as a payment to that card. A card's activity shows instalments paid to it from other accounts, marked Not a card charge, and its header keeps card spending, bills paid and instalments paid apart. On a card whose balance includes its contracts, paying its bill or its instalment puts the whole payment into the card, so its balance drops by the instalments too, and the statement check no longer counts the bank's interest on those contracts twice. On the web too.

    • Cards whose balance already includes their installment contracts

      If what a card owes already includes the installment contracts on its limit — the way the bank's total outstanding does — turn on Balance includes contracts in the card's settings, or tap the suggestion on the card. The contracts are then no longer taken off your available credit a second time or counted twice in the statement check. The statement breakdown only shows when there really are separate parts — Unpaid closed statement and New unbilled charges — instead of repeating what you owe. On a card with a statement day, This cycle can follow your Pay cycle or the Card cycle, with the due date, an awaiting-payment badge and the spending and installments going on this bill. The same is on the web.

    • Installment-only cards add up to their statement

      A cash card that carries only installment contracts — no card spending — used to read "counted ฿0.00" against every statement, and its monthly figure counted a brand-new contract at its full installment even though the bank bills a smaller first one. The statement check now counts each contract's installment for that statement, a new contract's first installment is worked out from the statement total, and Update statement lets you check it per contract. Coming Up, reminders, monthly totals and Pay This Card's Installment all use the same figures.

    • An instalment paid early counts as paid straight away

      Pay a debt's instalment a few days before it's due and the debt now says Paid this month at once — it no longer reads "Due in 3 days" with a button to log the instalment you've just paid, and you get no reminder for it. Pay only part of it and you're still reminded, for what's left. On a loan with an interest rate, the payoff month in Estimated at today's rate is now the same month as the end date at the top of the debt — the two used to disagree by a couple of months.

    • Every entry can say when in the day it happened

      The add and edit form has a Time row under the date: Now, a part of the day — Morning, Late morning, Noon, Afternoon, Evening, Night or Late night — a time you set to the minute, or No time. The ledger and the entry's own page show the part of the day by its name instead of a made-up clock time. Moving an entry to yesterday or another day no longer stamps it with the moment you happened to log it — yesterday's lunch logged at 16:42 used to say 16:42 — it keeps just the day unless you pick a time. Entries you logged before look exactly as they did, and it works the same on the web and for entries a connected assistant logs. The same Time row is on every other place you log money too — Smart Paste, splitting a receipt, transfers between accounts, debt and card-instalment payments, and Pay Bills — and a split receipt uses one time for all its items. When a balance check offers to log a usual payment you missed, it suggests the part of the day you usually pay instead of guessing the minute.

    • See when in the day you spend

      Insights has a new When You Spend card: this cycle's spending from morning to late night, the part of the day you spend most, and a tap on any bar lists those expenses. It only counts entries that have a time, says how many it left out, and notes that older entries use the time they were logged.

    • Slips, bank alerts and statements keep the time they print

      A transfer slip that says 06:10 now lands at 06:10, not at the moment you scanned it — and the same goes for a bank alert you paste and a statement row that has a time. A date printed without a time stays without one, instead of borrowing the moment you logged it.

    • Tell Siri and Shortcuts when you spent it

      Log Expense and Add Transaction in the Shortcuts app take a part of the day — this morning, tonight — or an exact time. Leave it out and the entry is logged at the moment the shortcut runs, as before.

    • Receipts scan more reliably, and land on the right card

      A receipt that prints each item's name and price on separate lines now reads item by item, the total comes from the receipt's summary instead of an item's price, and more layouts add up — app receipts, a discount printed after the total, Total Payment (After Disc.). A receipt that runs over several screenshots goes in through Receipt in Several Screenshots, up to six, joined in order without repeating the overlap and only accepted when it adds up; sharing several screenshots from Photos does the same, and several slips shared at once become one entry each. A barcode printed with an item is kept with it, so next time the name and category fill in from what you saved before, and Price history shows the latest, lowest and highest you've paid. And a receipt that prints a card's last digits goes straight to the account you've given those digits under On Receipts, without needing a review; when Pocketbird only guesses from the shop's past receipts, it says so under the account.

    • Coming Up knows when your salary has arrived

      Your salary stayed in Coming Up as money still to come even after it had landed, so money in and the net counted it twice. Log your salary within 3 days of payday and Coming Up now moves it to Already Received, shows how far it was from the salary you set, and leaves it out of money in and the net. A payday with nothing logged shows as not received yet.

    • Update your salary in one tap

      When your recent salary deposits agree on an amount that differs from the salary you set, Coming Up offers to update it, so your plans and forecasts use what actually arrives. A one-off bonus or deduction doesn't set it off, and tap Not Now and it won't ask again until the amount changes — in the app or on the web.

    • Check an account's real balance and find what's missing

      "Check balance" on any account takes the balance your bank or wallet shows and gives you the difference — then, before any adjustment, the likely reasons: a payment logged to the wrong account, a usual item you haven't logged, a cash or wallet balance that went below zero. Each one comes with a tap to fix it, and "Adjust to match" is still there for whatever is left.

    • A same-day nudge for the usual thing you haven't logged

      If you usually pay for something on this day of the week — parking on office days, say — and nothing for it is logged today on any account, Home asks Usual today? in the evening, with Log It to add it in one tap at the usual price and account, Undo, and Not today. If your daily reminder is on, one notification lists what's still missing, and on a day you've skipped with Today's Rules, the habits that go with that rule stay quiet. The card can be moved or hidden in Customize Home. On the web too.

    • Skip a day-of-week rule for today, like on a WFH day

      Rules that tag by day of the week — Work from Monday to Thursday, say — now show on Home under Today's Rules on the days they fire, with Skip Today for a day you work from home. The rule is back on its own tomorrow, and it can take its tag off what you've already logged today. Automation Rules has a Tag Office Days starter to set one up in a few taps, and entries logged through a connected assistant follow your rules and today's skip too.

    • Split a subscription with people who don't use Pocketbird

      On a recurring bill, Split This Bill with Others lets you add the people who pay you back and how much each pays. Each time the bill is logged, your spending counts only your share, and each person's part shows under Debts as money they owe you for that bill. When money from them comes in for exactly what they owe — from a bank alert or slip, on the web, or through a connected assistant — it pays off the oldest one and is marked for you to review. It works on the web too, and a connected assistant can set it up. A share can be a fixed amount, a percent of each bill or the whole bill, and someone can pay another member's share for them under Paid by. One transfer that covers several people or several months settles all of them, oldest first, and you can also mark a share paid yourself — from a payment they sent or in cash — and undo it. Coming Up and your forecasts count only your share, and the bill's page shows your share per month and per year, each member, and the last few bills with who has paid. In Owed to You, bills that are fully collected fold away under Fully collected, with each person's name on the row.

    • See your bills and payday in your calendar

      Calendar feed — under Tools in Menu, or in Settings on iPad — makes a private link you can subscribe to in Apple, Google or Outlook Calendar, showing upcoming bills, card due dates and payday. Amounts are left out unless you turn on Show amounts in the calendar, because calendar apps keep a copy on their own servers. Calendars refresh on their own schedule, usually every few hours, and you can make a new link or turn it off at any time. It's in Settings on the web too.

    • Ask Pocketbird answers from what you just logged, with figures from your data

      Save an entry in the middle of a conversation — from the chat, another tab or a sync — and the next answer includes it, and a new day refreshes what it knows. Every amount in an answer is now printed by the app from your own data, and a figure it can't back up is hidden, with a note saying so. The suggestion chips answer at once with a card — the total for the period and the biggest category or shop in it — and a question the app understands by itself, like how much you've spent today, gets the same instant card. While it works it says what it's doing, such as Reading your data…, and it still runs on your device.

    • A calmer Home, where the bird and the colours mean something

      The bird at the top of Home now wears the mood of your money — concerned when a budget is blown or you're running short, cheerful when things go well, asleep at night once today is logged — and the background takes on the same mood. Its speech bubble is the only voice in that card. Budget pace turns amber from 60 percent and red from 90 percent, Quick Log sits in a plain strip, and badges that meant nothing are gone. The streak card always ends on today — an open heart until you log something, a filled one after — with one line and a pose that agree, even just after midnight. The insight that you're spending less than last cycle now only appears when you really are, compared with the same point last cycle, not because a monthly bill hasn't been paid yet. Amounts across the app use a rounded face with even-width digits, and each day's largest entry is marked Largest.

    • Give a person or shop its own photo or logo

      Any payee in People — a person or a shop — can carry a photo or logo you choose, shown wherever its circle appears, in the app and on the web, and you can replace or remove it at any time. Payees Pocketbird recognises as the same brand get a Merge into …? suggestion that opens the usual merge, and a shop's own page no longer repeats its name in every row's tags.

    • Shops: close the day on one screen, log a stock run at once, and see profit by the week

      Close today's sales puts the day's cash and transfer sales, the market and any stall rent on one screen and saves them together, and saving the same day again edits it instead of adding more. After 21:00 on a usual selling day with nothing logged, it asks Close today's sales?. The market is its own field now, with sales by market and by weekday, and market names typed into the Item field can be moved across after a preview. Stock Purchase logs everything from one buying trip in one list, filling each item's last price, with Same as Last Time for a repeat run. The shop's overview leads with profit for the last 7 days, this month and the last 4 weeks, so a day you bought stock no longer reads as a loss, and best and slowest days go by sales. The app can also export the shop as CSV, load entries older than about six weeks, and show all-time totals for a person. On the web too.

    • Log shop sales and costs with no signal

      With no connection, Sale and Cost still work in a shop you've opened on this phone: the entry is saved on the phone, shows Waiting to upload, counts in today's totals, and uploads by itself when you're back online — other members see it after that. An entry that can't upload stays on the phone for you to retry, fix or discard, and signing out warns you before it erases any. When entries from earlier upload late, the other members get one notification that you added entries from earlier, not one per entry. Offline logging is in the app; the web still needs a connection.

    • The what-if sliders on a goal stopped stalling

      On a goal paid for with a reducing-rate loan — the usual home loan — the plan worked out the monthly payment afresh for every month it checked, up to 360 of them, on every step of a what-if slider, and a goal with a target month re-ran its two target-month answers on every step as well. With a target month on a long home loan that is still out of reach, one step could take a couple of seconds. The payment is now worked out once per plan and the target-month answers once each time your money changes, so the sliders keep up with your finger and the goal's page opens sooner. Every month and amount the planner gives is exactly what it was.

    • App Lock stopped saying Face ID on devices that don't have it

      The App Lock switch read "Lock App with Face ID" on every device — an iPad that unlocks with Touch ID, or one with only a passcode, included. It now names what your device actually uses: Face ID, Touch ID, Optic ID or its passcode, the same method the unlock button offers when you come back to the app.

  4. Version 1.6.0

    September 2026

    • When can I buy it? Plan a car, a home or anything

      Add what you want to buy, its price, and whether it's cash or a loan. Pocketbird works out the month you can afford it from your real money — salary, bills, everyday spending and the debts that are about to finish — with the raises and bonus you expect. Slide the what-ifs to watch the date move, set a target month to see how much more to save, and start a pocket for it in one tap. It's on the web too.

    • The planner says why it's that month, and what would make it sooner

      Under the answer, a card now walks through how the plan got there — the debt whose last payment frees up money, the pocket that fills, the goal bought before this one — and lists the single changes that would help most, each with a button to try it. A chart shows money in and out across the plan, each line of where your money goes opens to what's in it, and when the plan misses the month you're aiming for, it offers three ways to get there: earn more, spend less or change the goal. It also estimates the costs that come with buying and running a car or a home, the total interest, what a longer or shorter loan does, roughly what a bank might lend, and how you'd manage if your income stopped or rates rose. Everyday spending leaves out one-off big buys unless you count them back in, or takes a figure you type, and a bonus can be a fixed amount.

    • Your plan keeps track month by month, on the Home Screen too

      Each goal now keeps a record of the month the plan expected you could buy it, month after month, and says what moved it most — the goal card on Home shows the change too. A line compares what you actually saved last pay cycle with what the plan counts on, a reminder the morning after payday can be switched on, and the pocket for your first goal can set its automatic saving to what the plan puts aside each month. Logging a big one-off expense shows roughly how long it pushes your next goal back. A new Next Goal widget, and a When Can I Buy It action in the Shortcuts app, give the answer without opening Pocketbird.

    • Save up for something together with a group

      A group can now share a goal, under Shared Goals. Each member takes a share of the price, and that share becomes an ordinary goal in their own planner, worked out from their own money. The group sees each person's share, the month it should be ready and when everyone is likely to be ready together — never anyone's income, spending or balances. Leave the group and your share leaves with you.

    • Pay a recurring bill early, or several at once

      A recurring bill could only be recorded once it was due, so paying early meant logging it by hand and leaving the rule to post or ask for it again. The new Pay Bills sheet — on Home, the Coming Up screen and the recurring list, and behind a bill reminder — lists what's due in the next 7, 30 or 90 days. Tap a bill to pay it and every earlier one of the same bill, dated the day the money actually left; your budget counts it that day and says how much was paid ahead for a later cycle. Confirming a bill now also resets its reminder and refreshes your widgets, which it never did, so a bill you had just paid stops being announced as due.

    • Split a receipt into the things you bought

      After you scan a receipt, the form offers to split it into one transaction per item. Every line can be edited, a promotion printed under an item stays with that item, and a discount on the whole bill — a coupon, points — is shared across the items to the satang, so they always add up to exactly what you paid. The whole receipt saves in one go, and one already logged under the same receipt number is flagged before it's saved twice. A food-delivery order page reads properly too, with subtotal lines skipped and the delivery fee kept, and an order message you share in or paste into Smart Paste opens the split when its items add up.

    • Check an account against the bank's own figures

      An account's page now has "Compare with statement": bring in the bank's statement — a KBank PDF, password-locked ones included, or a CSV — and Pocketbird lists what's on the statement but not in the app, what's in the app but not on the statement, and amounts a baht or less apart. Missing rows can be added from there and whatever is still unexplained settled as one adjustment, and a receipt you split into items is matched as the one bill the bank saw. A password only opens the file and is never saved. A credit card gains "Update statement" for the total due and the minimum: the bank's total sits beside the app's own count with any gap pointed out, and the minimum feeds the due-date reminder straight away. And a stored-value card's receipt stops being logged at the balance left on the card — that balance can bring an e-wallet account into line instead.

    • Logging remembers more of what you usually do

      A payee name you type, or one read off a slip, now becomes a real payee in People — or joins the one you already have, so "7-Eleven", "7 ELEVEN" and "7eleven" are one — and merging two payees keeps the old name as another way to match. The memory that filled in a shop's category now also fills in the account, tags and payee you use there, learned from your recent history and never over anything you picked yourself. And a bill you log by hand can be marked as the payment of its recurring bill with a "Pay …" switch, so the rule moves on to the next one instead of posting or asking for the same bill again.

    • On iPad, tapping something in a list no longer throws the list away

      Accounts, Debts, Owed to You, Recurring, Trips, Pockets, Settings and the transaction list now keep the list on the left and open what you tapped beside it, so you can compare two accounts or step through a month without going back and forth. It only happens when there is genuinely room for both — turn the iPad upright with the sidebar open, or use half the screen, and everything goes back to one column exactly as it was.

    • The iPad stopped showing you less than the iPhone did

      Trip names like "ญี่ปุ่น ฤดูใบไม้ผลิ" were being cut short on a 13-inch screen while the phone showed them in full, "กระแสรายวัน KBank" lost its bank, an amount read "ได้รับ ฿8…" instead of ฿850.00, and the debt screen quietly dropped the words "กลยุทธ์ปลดหนี้". Every hub now hands its rows more room than the phone does, not less, and Home, Summary, Budget and the rest lay their cards out two across instead of stranding one column in the middle of the screen.

    • A debt paid by a recurring bill stops offering to be paid twice

      A debt whose instalments a recurring bill already records never mentioned that bill, and kept offering "Log this installment" right under its "Paid this month" chip — one tap from recording the same payment twice. The debt now names the rule that pays it and opens it, and its button becomes "Mark as Paid" through that rule, so each instalment is recorded once; anything more is recorded as an extra payment. And on any debt, once this month is covered the button offers to log the next instalment early, not this one again. On the recurring bill, "Pays off debt" now opens the debt and shows how many instalments are left and what they add up to.

    • A recurring bill can be edited in place, or marked as cancelled

      Every edit used to ask "This Occurrence Only" or "All Future Occurrences", and neither changed the rule itself: the second ended the series and started a new one, so adding a payee left two rules and an "After N times" limit started counting again from zero, while the first quietly dropped anything but the amount and date. Changing the payee, note, tags, account, category or reminder now edits the rule where it is, without asking; only a new amount or schedule asks, with "This Rule" first. And a bill you've cancelled can be marked "I Cancelled This" — on its page, or from the Insights card that notices a bill has gone quiet — which ends it today, and the recurring list and Insights add up what your cancellations save each month.

    • Owed to You shows what you owe people too

      Link a person to a debt with the new "Who You Owe" field and it appears on a new "You Owe Them" side of Owed to You, grouped under that person. The two totals stay apart and are never netted into one figure, and a person's page shows what you owe them on a line of its own. Recurring bills tied to someone already listed there show beside them, without being counted as debt.

    • App Lock now covers whatever was open

      The lock screen was drawn beneath any sheet that happened to be open, so a sheet opened inside a group or a shop stayed on top of it when you came back to the app — readable, and tappable. The lock screen now sits above everything, sheets, share sheets and alerts included, and puts the keyboard away. Unlock and the sheet is still there, with anything you had typed.

    • Automation rules follow you to another phone, and can go by the day

      Automation Rules used to live only on the phone that made them, and signing out erased them. They sync now — to a new phone, back after you sign in again, and to Pocketbird on the web — and the rules you already have move across by themselves, in the same order. A rule can also depend on the day: "Day of week is Mon–Fri" applies only on weekdays, with Mon–Fri and Sat–Sun a tap away.

    • A Quick Log set asks for the amount it's missing

      A line in a set saved without an amount was a dead end: the confirm sheet said "Enter an amount" and had nowhere to enter one. Each empty line now has its own field there — the amount is used for that log only, so the button asks again next time — and "Log all" waits until every ticked line has one. A set with a single line also stops opening the plain add form, which dropped that line's own note, category and tags.

    • Opening a shop no longer gets stuck on "Loading today's shop"

      Tapping into a shop from the list could leave it loading forever, with no error and no way out but pulling to refresh: leaving the list cancelled the very load the shop was waiting for. Loading now finishes whichever screen you move to, and a shop loads its own day when it opens — from the list, a notification or a link.

    • A note you can leave on an account

      Write down what an account is for, or which card is tied to it. The note sits under the balance on the account's page, can be copied from there, and searching Accounts finds it. It's only for you and doesn't change any figure.

    • The invite link is reachable on iPad again

      Held upright, the invite sheet showed the QR code and Save, and hid the link itself, Copy Link, Copy Code and Share below an edge you could not scroll past — on a screen far bigger than the phone where all of it fits. The sheet now takes the space it needs, and at the largest text sizes too.

    • Pointer and keyboard on iPad

      Rows and cards light up under a trackpad pointer, ⌘1 through ⌘9 jump straight to a tab, and ⌘N starts a new entry from anywhere — all of it listed by name when you hold ⌘.

    • Checking a batch of slips against their figures, side by side

      Reading one slip used to cover the very checklist you were checking it against, once per slip. On iPad the slip now sits beside its row, with the reference number there is never room for on the row itself.

    • VoiceOver stopped reading out file names

      Decorative artwork was reaching VoiceOver labelled with the name of its image file — it would announce "PocketbirdHappy" in the middle of a screen. Ornaments are now silent everywhere, as they always should have been.

    • Some amounts had been quietly rendering small

      On the Insights breakdown the category figures were drawing at about seven-eighths of their proper size — enough to look off beside the label next to them without being obviously wrong. They are full size again, on iPhone as well as iPad.

    • A very large amount on the Coming Up widget stops losing its tail

      A tile on the Home Screen cannot grow, so at the largest text sizes a seven-figure instalment ran out of room and was cut off mid-number: ฿1,234,567.89 drew as "฿1,234,…", naming a figure a thousand times smaller than the one it held. The amount now steps down a size at a time and, only once no size fits, drops the satang instead of the tail. VoiceOver still reads the full amount either way.

  5. Version 1.5.0

    September 2026

    • Every amount the app shows has its satang

      Most screens rounded to the baht, so ฿0.49 and ฿0 printed the same figure and nothing could be checked against a bank app that shows satang — and VoiceOver read the satang out loud anyway, on a screen that had hidden them. Every screen, every widget, the notifications and Siri's answers now print the full amount. Chart axis labels, the keypad you type an amount into, figures the app already hedges in words, and a widget tile too tight to hold the satang at the largest text sizes are left as they were, on purpose.

    • Three more things Shortcuts can do

      Running one of your own Quick Log buttons, paying a card bill, and confirming what an estimated bill actually came to are all things the app does and Shortcuts had no verb for. Each one goes through the same code the screen uses, so a set still rounds up once and undoes in one go, and Siri quotes the same outstanding figure Home and the bill reminder do. A button that asks for the amount is refused rather than guessed at, and a fixed bill cannot be confirmed because it posts itself. None of the three answers to a spoken phrase — the ten Siri phrases are full — so they live in the Shortcuts app and in Settings' list.

    • A bill you have already paid stops asking for the money again

      Home's "Set Aside This Week" and the morning bill reminder quoted a card's minimum and a debt's instalment flat, however much had already gone toward them — pay a card bill in full ten days early and both still asked for the whole figure on the due date. What you have paid toward that bill this cycle now comes off what is asked for, and the row drops out once nothing is left. Money split off a card bill onto its instalment contracts counts as payment too, not only a plain transfer. A bill already past its due date is deliberately left alone: a minimum typed off an old statement cannot be told apart from a real shortfall, and that arithmetic would invent someone who has defaulted.

    • Paying before the due date counts as paying

      The evidence for an instalment was the money that arrived on or after its due date, so a loan debited on the 1st against a due day of the 20th had every payment filed to the month before, and was then asked for the current instalment all over again — months of "Overdue" on a loan that has never once been late. Each deadline now consumes one instalment and every payment since the previous deadline pays into it, so early money and late money both land on the instalment they were meant for. The Debts screen, Home, the widget and the weekly overdue notice all read that one count, and paying several months ahead still only buys one month of quiet.

    • Thirteen figures that disagreed with the records behind them

      A sweep read every money and date surface against the rows underneath it. A credit line quoted a minimum typed off a superseded statement while a newer contract drawn on the same line went uncounted in every budget total; a card with no recorded minimum contributed ฿0 to the forecast instead of saying it was unknown; a headroom figure printed a negative number rather than admitting that two sources of the same balance disagree; a debt with real money paid on it showed nothing paid off; a capped instalment plan was annualised as though it ran forever; and a rule that ends before it ever runs read as a healthy bill twenty-eight days late. Each is corrected where it is shown, and the ones the app genuinely cannot work out now say so instead of printing a number.

    • A rule set to the 31st stays on the 31st

      The recurring form has no day-of-month field — it read the day off wherever the rule's next run happened to be sitting. In February a day-31 rule sits on the 28th, so opening it and choosing "Edit all future" wrote 28 onto the rule and rent left the end of the month for good, while the caption on the same screen went on promising it would move to the last day in shorter months. The stored day is kept now unless you move the date picker yourself, and the caption and the saved value are read from the same place, so they cannot disagree again. Opening such a rule in a short month also stopped lighting up Save before you had touched anything.

    • A phone that just restored your data stops treating every debt as new

      A debt's balance is entered at the moment you create it, so anything due at or before that moment is already accounted for. The day a debt was created never travelled between devices, though: a second iPhone stamped every debt it pulled down with the moment it arrived, so a payment twelve days late read "Due in 15 days" there and stayed wrong for a whole cycle. That date syncs now, and where two devices hold different ones the earlier wins — which also repairs the debts an older build already stamped with its own arrival time.

    • A bank alert can write itself down, on iOS 27

      Siri & Shortcuts — under Tools in Menu, or in Settings on iPad — now lists the actions that answer to no spoken phrase — Parse Transaction Text among them — so they can be found at all instead of only being reachable by someone who already knew they existed. On iOS 27, where the Shortcuts app can finally run something when a notification arrives, the same screen hands you a finished shortcut in Thai or English rather than six steps to build one: install it, point an automation at the app your bank alerts come through, and a matching alert is read and written down. Two steps nobody can do for you are kept and explained — reading one real alert first to see what it carries, and watching it run once before you trust it — and the filter step warns that a wallet receipt, a points update and the card issuer's own line are three alerts about one payment. On iOS 26 there is no such trigger, so the walkthrough is not shown there; the actions themselves still work.

    • Money other people owe you has a screen of its own

      "Owed to You" gathers everything you have lent out, grouped by the person who owes it, with what is still out, what is overdue and a gentle reminder you can send from your own chat app. Lending also stopped making you poorer: money you lent was being counted as debt you owe, so your net worth fell when it should have held.

    • One card payment, split across the instalments it settles

      Paying a card bill that includes instalment contracts used to settle none of them — the whole amount landed on the card while every contract stayed overdue. Pocketbird now stops at the moment you save, shows what each contract is due this cycle, and records the instalments and the rest of the bill together; a transfer you already saved can be split the same way.

    • Everything about to leave your account, card bills included

      Home's "Set Aside This Week" card never counted your credit-card statements, so if you carry cards the figure was lower than the week really was. It counts them now, split into debts and instalments, card bills and recurring bills with a subtotal on each, and every door off that card opens a new "Coming Up" screen: seven, thirty or ninety days of what is going out and what is coming in, with anything already overdue at the top and anything with no due date kept out of the totals.

    • A note you can leave on a debt or a loan

      A debt's name has to stay short — it is the row title on every screen that lists one — so a note now has a column of its own. Write down what you agreed, who introduced you, or what the money was for, and it opens with the debt.

    • Summary says which period it is talking about

      Summary, the cycle recap, Insights and the screen that orders your cards were rebuilt so the period, the daily allowance and the amounts under each chart read at a glance. Two pay cycles that start in the same month are told apart, the calendar heatmap names the calendar month it actually covers, and a cycle still running is labelled as unfinished instead of being compared as though it had ended.

    • Graphics that explain the total, not decorate it

      Summary gains income and expense ribbons, a budget-against-time ring and a balance bridge; Insights gains category and subscription compositions, a dated charge timeline, wealth milestones and what you are committed to each month. Each one is drawn from the figures those screens already worked out, and the exact amounts stay printed beside them, including at the largest text sizes.

    • People, redrawn

      The People directory, profiles, editors and every person picker share one layout now, so someone reads the same whether you arrived from a transaction, a shop or a list of possible duplicates. Where a photo, a cover or an avatar is missing, drawn artwork stands in — nine illustrations that also fill the empty search and history states across the app.

    • Every payee gets a face

      An avatar only had a colour and a glyph if you painted one by hand, which nobody does, so the whole directory was the same grey silhouette. A payee you have not styled now shows its initial on a colour worked out from its name, and each row carries a line saying how many transactions it holds and which way the money went.

    • A transaction looks like a transaction wherever it is listed

      Daily review, a pocket's assigned rows and a trip's entries each drew their own version of a row, so the same transaction could show a different title, a different swatch and a different colour depending on where you opened it. They all use the shared row now — and daily review stopped painting every expense red, which made an ordinary day read like a column of alarms.

    • An invite is a link anyone can tap

      Sharing a group or a shop used to send a budgie:// address that most chat apps do not turn into a link at all, and that does nothing on a phone without Pocketbird. An invite is a real web link now: it previews in the chat, opens the app straight at the join screen when the app is there, and explains itself in a browser when it is not.

    • Save the invitation as a card

      The invite and join screens for both groups and shops were rebuilt around the two things that actually happen on them — scanning a code and typing one in. The QR card, with the group or shop name and the code beside it, saves straight to Photos, so you can send the picture.

    • Every widget was redrawn

      The whole widget suite shares one look now: bigger amounts, charts that read at a glance, Thai labels that fit, and compact layouts when your text size is large. Data that has not arrived yet stays visibly different from zero, so a widget waiting to refresh no longer reads as a day you spent nothing.

    • The buttons you make yourself, on the Home Screen

      A new Quick Log widget holds your own buttons — four on the small size, twelve on the large — and a tap logs where it stands. A set that still asks you to confirm, or a button whose category you deleted, opens the app at the right screen instead of logging something you did not see.

    • What's coming, on the Home Screen

      A new widget lists what is due next, in all three sizes, and you can set it to show everything, only your recurring bills, or only debts and card bills. It prints real dates instead of "in two days", so it stays true on a day you never open the app, and a tap on a row opens the app at that row.

    • Money that came in stops being written down as money going out

      Which way a pasted bank message moves money is read from the whole sentence now, not from one word in it — an alert saying your account was credited to fund a wallet is money leaving, whichever verb the bank wrote, and the Thai wordings banks actually use for a transfer arriving are read as money in. A message that printed your balance after the amount used to come back with nothing, refused by its own balance line; it is read now. Asking Siri to log a message also stopped assuming an expense when the text never said which way — it opens Smart Paste instead, on the date the message states and against the account it names.

    • A screen that tells you what you can say to Siri

      Ten spoken commands have worked for several releases, in Thai as well as English, and nine of them appeared nowhere in the app. Settings now lists all ten under "Siri & Shortcuts", each with a phrase you can actually say, split into recording money and asking about it. The same screen opens the Shortcuts app, where a new Parse Transaction Text action reads a bank message and hands back the amount, the direction and the date without saving anything — and every action that writes a transaction now hands that transaction back, so one can feed the next.

    • Siri can mean the row you are looking at

      Rows for transactions, pockets, debts, bills, budgets and accounts now tell the system what they are, so "log this again" or "pay this bill" can refer to the one on screen. Asking Siri to log something in words also asks which category you meant when the words fit more than one, and your records find their way back into Spotlight after a restore or a reinstall.

    • A locked phone stops reading your balance out loud

      Every Siri question that discloses money — your balance, safe to spend, a budget, a debt, a pocket, upcoming bills, recent expenses and spending by category — now needs the phone unlocked first. Logging an expense still works locked, because writing a number down gives nothing away.

    • The App Store privacy card now names everything Pocketbird records

      Two things it collects were missing from that card: the push token that lets a notification reach this device, and the notes you type on a transaction. Nothing about what the app collects changed — only what it told you, which is now complete.

  6. Version 1.4.0

    September 2026

    • Trips now cover the occasions you host

      An ordination, a wedding, a funeral, a housewarming — pick the kind when you create it and the screen speaks in occasion words instead of travel ones. Money runs both ways: tag the contributions your guests give you and Pocketbird shows what the day actually cost you once they are counted, not just what went out. Say how many guests you expect and it works out the figure per head.

    • Pocketbird moved onto Home

      The bird now perches on the Safe to Spend card and reacts to how the cycle is going — five moods, read from figures Home already worked out, so it can never disagree with the card it sits on. The dashboard cards were redrawn around it, the bar at the top is real glass, and the launch screen animates the bird itself instead of a drawing of it.

    • A new app icon

      The bird-as-coin was redrawn: a shaded bird, a thicker glassy rim and a pale-blue bubble field. It now comes from a single master file, so the Home Screen icon, the launch screen, the sign-in screen and the website finally show the same artwork — instead of five hand-maintained copies that had quietly drifted apart.

    • The button you make yourself, that logs when you tap it

      The things you log again and again can become buttons you make yourself — pin one Pocketbird suggests, or build your own — and a single tap writes the whole thing, category, account and all. One button can carry up to twelve lines, so "heading home" logs the train, the parking and the ride together, saved in one go and undone in one go. Each line can carry its own tags and its own payee, and you reach them from Home or from Settings.

    • One design, and one voice, across the app

      The look Home and the ledger were rebuilt around now runs through the rest of it — the same glass, cards and spacing on sheets, pickers and settings, with Pocketbird drawn into the screens that used to be plain text: signing in, maintenance, a required update, and the waits while you sign out or your data comes back. The bird also stopped saying two different things about the same day depending on which tab you were on, and the line under its name reports your streak or what you have logged instead of repeating a slogan.

    • Log what you spent abroad, in the currency you paid

      Switch on "Paid in another currency" in the full add form, pick the currency and enter the rate you got — Pocketbird works out the baht and remembers that it was $20 at 36.5, so the figure still makes sense months later.

    • Foreign spending doesn't stop at the add screen

      A repeating bill can be priced in dollars, so when the charge grows Pocketbird tells you whether the price went up or the rate moved. Trips carry a currency of their own, a scanned foreign slip opens with the rate field waiting, the last rate you used comes back next time, and you can search or filter your transactions by currency.

    • The add screen fits on one screen

      The transaction editor was rebuilt to be compact: the details adapt to what you are logging instead of every field always being there, and scan and paste fold into a single row. The note is typed right in the row now rather than behind a separate screen — and it still picks up the category it learned from what you type.

    • The transactions screen says what it is showing

      Fifty-seven per cent of the first screenful used to be chrome, leaving four rows of money on it. The cycle summary is a flat block now instead of a card, so five to seven rows fit; you can filter by everything search can filter by, each active filter a chip that names itself and switches off on its own; the filtered total prints beside the cycle total instead of apologising in an empty state; and you can sort by amount — at which point the day headers step aside, because a day header over rows that are not in date order is a lie. Rows come in two heights, and drawing one costs a third of what it did.

    • Every ledger row now reads in one line

      The caption, the adjustment badge, the debt and pocket chips and the tags used to stack up, leaving rows at different heights. They now share one meta line that fits by width and collapses the rest into a "+2", so rows are uniform and more of the day fits above the fold. A tag the screen is already filtered to is not drawn twice, and the day header says what it is counting.

    • Search opens with somewhere to start

      Before you type, search offers the date range, the searches you have run before, and shortcuts to the categories and people you actually use — each with its own glyph and how often it comes up. Filters open as an overview with a focused editor per facet — date, amount, categories, tags, payees, original currency, trips — so choosing one thing no longer means scrolling past seven others, and what you picked is summarised before you ask for results. When nothing matches, an illustrated state says whether it is the words or the filters, and clears only that one.

    • How much is actually in the bank

      The Accounts list splits into a section per type — bank, cash, e-wallet — each header carrying that type's subtotal, lined up with the amounts beneath it. Credit cards get the same treatment, with the owed subtotal on their header. A type you hold nothing in is left out entirely, and searching narrows the rows without ever moving a subtotal.

    • Cash drawn on a credit line has somewhere to go

      Drawing cash on a credit line creates money and debt in the same moment. Pocketbird had a home for the debt and none for the cash, so it was either counted twice or reported as income you never earned. Now you say which account it landed in as you create the debt: it is recorded there, counted in that balance, and left out of every income figure — and the debt page shows what you received while saying plainly that it is not income. One card can also carry several instalment contracts at once, all billed on the card's own due date.

    • Debt you owe today, not debt you will owe

      An instalment plan's balance is the sum of what is left to pay — and for a plan with interest, part of that is interest the bank has not charged yet. Counting it as debt owed today made your net worth read lower than it is. Totals, available credit and the payoff order now use what closing each contract today would actually cost, while every debt still shows what is left to pay over its life beside it. A 0% instalment plan and a reducing-balance loan are unchanged, because for those the two figures are the same number.

    • What has to leave the account this month

      Two new cards sit above the payoff timeline. "The minimum each month" counts every obligation once — across your debts and your cards — to give one monthly run-rate, so the answer does not change depending on whether you ask on the 3rd or the 23rd, and a cash-advance contract that shares a card's statement is not billed twice. "By bank" groups the whole portfolio by lender: what is outstanding, what they take each month, and how urgent it is.

    • The shop screen, rebuilt around the day

      The shared shop's detail screen was redesigned around what actually happens in a day: clearer summary cards, a tidier entry list, a simpler settings screen, and empty states that say what to do next rather than sitting blank.

    • Leaving a shared screen no longer closes the app

      Opening a group or a shop and leaving again straight away could wedge Pocketbird while it was still connecting to the live feed, and iOS would close it a few seconds later — you would notice it as the app starting from scratch next time. Connecting and disconnecting now take strict turns, so the two can never collide.

    • Turn each thing an assistant can do on or off

      What a connected assistant could reach was fixed the moment you approved it, and the only control in the app was disconnecting the whole thing. Every permission is a switch now — per connection, and a second layer across the account that covers personal access tokens too. Switching one off applies to the assistant's next request without reconnecting, a refused request names the switch to turn back on, and a read that a write depends on is shown on, locked, and explained.

    • Zero stopped celebrating

      On day one of every cycle "This cycle · Net" printed a green ฿0, and VoiceOver said "0 baht surplus" — the app was calling an empty month a win. Zero is neutral everywhere now, and colour tracks a condition rather than a kind of number, so a budget row that is doing fine stopped printing a red figure beside a green percentage. Accounts shows the satang, so a balance reconciles against your bank app digit for digit.

    • Numbers too small to read, and icons that were not there

      On seven screens a figure sharing its row with a progress bar was quietly rendering at the smallest size it is allowed — on the budget card, smaller than the label beside it. And in Automation Rules most of the built-in category icons were drawing white on white, so they simply were not visible. Both are fixed, each with a check that fails the build if it comes back.

    • Bigger text stops cutting off the balance

      At the largest accessibility text sizes an Accounts row squeezed the balance until it read "฿3,2…" — on the one screen whose whole job is showing balances. Amounts now move below the label when text gets that large, on Accounts, the cycle summary, Insights and the ledger, and those screens are checked at that size on every build.

    • When sync can't reach us, it says so plainly

      A problem on our side used to surface as a red error message written for developers. Now it says sync is paused and your logging is safe — and the app stops retrying every few seconds while it waits.

  7. Version 1.3.0

    August 2026

    • Pocketbird now opens on Home

      A new Home tab does the morning math — Safe to Spend, what you've spent today, how far the cycle has run — and the transactions screen goes back to being a clean ledger.

    • The next seven days, on one card

      Bills and debt payments merge into one Set Aside This Week card, so the money you must keep back stops hiding inside your balance.

    • Your Home, your cards

      An Insight of the Day surfaces the one thing worth knowing, and Customize Home lets you choose which cards show, in your order.

    • Every field remembers what you've typed

      Start typing a note, a shop item, a transfer memo, a bill title or a lender's name and your own past entries come back, most-used first. One tap fills it in — and on a transaction, the note also brings its category with it.

    • Search, wherever there was only scrolling

      Accounts, trips, tags, rules, remembered shops, group bills, debt payments and holidays all gained a search box — and every long picker is now a searchable list instead of a menu you scroll past.

    • Long lists stop going on forever

      An account's full history, a debt's payments, a pocket's transfers and a trip's transactions now load a page at a time with a Show more, so opening them stays quick however long you've been using the app.

    • Merging two of the same thing, in one place

      Combining duplicate people, tags or categories is now one searchable list with a confirmation, instead of hunting through a long menu for the right name.

    • Icons you can find in Thai

      Searching for an icon in Thai used to return nothing at all. Type กาแฟ, น้ำมัน, บ้าน or มอเตอร์ไซค์ and you get the icon you meant.

    • Jump straight to an earlier cycle

      Pick any of your recent budget cycles from one menu instead of stepping back through them one at a time — and filter by a category you've archived, which quietly never worked.

    • Your daily reminder tells you the number

      Instead of asking you to log, it now says how much you can spend today — so it's worth reading even on a day you have nothing to add.

    • A debt that isn't paid off stops saying it is

      Adding older payments to a debt could push its balance below zero and show it as fully paid. Now the app tells you the numbers don't add up, and asks whether a back-dated payment should change the balance at all.

    • Slips in your photos, found for you

      Turn on Slip Capture in Settings and Pocketbird checks your new photos on this device for bank-transfer slips, then offers them on Home to log in a tap. Photos never leave your phone, and nothing saves until you confirm.

    • Clear the whole day in thirty seconds

      Tapping the daily reminder now opens a review sheet: your usual expenses as one-tap chips, what you've logged today underneath, and the full form one tap away.

    • A widget that knows your usuals

      The new Usual Expenses widget turns the things you log most into one-tap buttons — with the right category attached — straight from the Home Screen, no setup.

    • A streak, and a bird that grows with it

      Log something every day and watch the bird grow from egg to fledgling. Miss a whole day and it starts over — mornings don't count against you.

    • Your cycle, wrapped

      When a pay cycle ends, get a recap: where the money went, your biggest expense, your no-spend days, and how it compares to last cycle — as a card you can share.

    • Subscriptions that drifted get called out

      Insights now flags a subscription whose real charges no longer match the amount you set — with the yearly cost of the gap — and a variable bill you've quietly stopped confirming.

  8. Version 1.2.0

    August 2026

    • Your categories, in your own order

      Drag to reorder categories and subcategories, and every picker follows the same order — plus search, a transaction count on each row, and merging two categories into one.

    • Archive a category you've stopped using

      An archived category leaves every picker so nothing new can be filed under it, while its past transactions keep counting everywhere. Unarchive it any time.

    • Money that moves but isn't spending

      Flag a category as not spending — e-wallet top-ups, cash withdrawals, costs someone pays you back — and it stops counting against Safe-to-Spend, your budgets and your charts while the money stays in your ledger and balances.

    • The category you confirm sticks

      Confirm a shop's category once and it's pre-filled next time — in slips, pasted messages, Siri, the widget and bulk categorizing. The new Learned Merchants screen shows what's remembered, and lets you forget it.

    • Sort the category before it lands

      Statement rows show the category they'll be filed under so you can fix it there, a suggested category is one tap to accept, and you can create a category without leaving the form.

    • Health, insurance and merit-making are built in

      Three categories join the defaults, with subcategories for hospital, medicine, doctor visits, check-ups, temple, donations, envelope gifts and each kind of insurance.

    • Turn off app announcements

      A switch under notifications silences announcements from the Pocketbird team on this device. Your reminders and group notifications keep working.

  9. Version 1.1.1

    August 2026

    • The manual, in full

      Every screen, every setting, and the features most people never find — Settings › About › User Manual.

    • A new address on the web

      The website, help pages and privacy policy now live at pocketbirdapp.com.

  10. Version 1.1.0

    August 2026

    • Split a bill, then settle up

      Work out the fewest transfers that square everyone up, add service charge and VAT, and share the summary to the chat.

    • Trips now have a budget

      Set a budget, see what's left per remaining day, and the trip you're on shows up on Home.

    • Booked ahead, counted apart

      Flights and hotels paid before you go no longer skew the daily pace, fronting the group costs you only your share, and a recap wraps up the trip.

    • Recurring bills, in full detail

      Link a bill to an account, pocket or debt — plus recurring transfers, trial end dates, and announced price changes.

    • Skip and snooze that stick

      Skipping or moving a bill now updates its date, countdown, and reminder everywhere.

    • Quicker capture, cleaner imports

      Scan a slip straight from the ledger, and re-importing a statement no longer double-books rows.

    • You choose what you share

      A Settings switch turns off usage statistics — feature counts only, never amounts, notes, or names.

    • Steadier under the hood

      An easier-to-scan recurring list, a plain notice when sync is paused, and a long list of small fixes.

  11. Version 1.0.1

    August 2026

    • Notifications that take you there

      Tap an alert and land on the exact screen it's about.

    • Switches apply instantly

      Profile and cycle toggles save themselves — no Save button.

    • Send feedback & vote what's next

      Tell us anything from Settings, and help pick what we build.

    • Your AI assistant can do more

      Connected apps now move money between accounts, attach receipts, and manage recurring bills.

    • Sharper under the hood

      Sync fixes, smarter statement import, and lots of small polish.

  12. Version 1.0.0

    July 2026

    • Pocketbird takes flight

      One honest number — what's safe to spend today — rebuilt every pay cycle.

    • Log without typing

      Paste a bank SMS, scan a slip or receipt, chat with Ask Pocketbird, or ask Siri in Thai.

    • Money the Thai way

      Credit cards with real statement balances, installments, budgets, pockets, and debt plans.

    • Shop mode & groups

      A separate ledger for sellers, plus shared bills that know who owes whom.

    • Private by design

      On-device AI, encrypted sync, and full PDPA export/delete rights.
