Improved Automatic Vendor and Category Detection

Image
Today's update includes several bug fixes and improvements. The most significant enhancement is the improved Automatic Vendor and Category Detection feature. When you import transactions from a bank export, Pixel Budget automatically detects the vendor and category by analysing the transaction's description or memo field. As you continue importing transactions over time, Pixel Budget learns from your previous imports, making its suggestions increasingly accurate. The underlying detection algorithm has been optimized, and testing has shown a significant improvement in accuracy. This enhancement was an important step toward the upcoming Add Transaction via Siri feature, which will use the same automatic detection engine to identify vendors and categories from your voice input.

Today's update includes several bug fixes and stability improvements. One of the fixes addresses the missing splash screen in the mobile app on iOS. On some iPhone models, the splash screen did not appear when launching the app, and only a white screen was shown. It turned out that the required splash screen images had not been generated for all recent iPhone models. With this update, splash screens are now available for all supported iPhones from the iPhone XR through the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The splash screen on iPhone Since the mobile app is a Progressive Web App (PWA), most updates are applied automatically in the background on the server. Just like the web app in your desktop browser, there's usually no need to update or reinstall the mobile app. Only on rare occasions is it necessary to reinstall the Pixel Budget mobile app. One example is this update, which adds the missing iPhone splash screens. When you launch the app, you'll see a notif...

I'm happy to announce that Approve Transactions is now available in the Pixel Budget mobile app!

The import itself remains available only in the web app , where you upload your bank export file and complete the import wizard.

Improvements in Today’s Update

Based on feedback from the Private Beta, we’ve made the following improvements in today’s update: 👉 Added more Quick Help icons (a question mark or an “i” in a circle) throughout the app. Clicking these icons opens helpful information panels with useful tips and explanations. These are especially helpful for new users who are still getting familiar with the app. New Quick Help icons have been added to the Expense Categories, Income Categories, Settings, and Budgeting pages. 👉 Added a new option on the App Settings page ( My Finances → Settings → App Settings ) under Appearance that lets you show or hide the Quick Help icons using the Show Quick Help Icons switch. This option is enabled by default. 👉 Fixed several typos and minor UI cosmetic issues across the app. Open Beta is coming soon — stay tuned! ✌️

Improvement: Scheduled Transactions

Until now, if you added a transaction with a future date, it appeared on the Transactions page along with all the other transactions. From now on, it will be listed on the new Scheduled Transactions page. When the date arrives, the scheduled transaction is automatically moved to the standard Transactions page. If you change the date of a transaction on either of the two transaction pages, its location changes accordingly. To open the Scheduled Transactions page in the web app, select My Finances   →   Scheduled Transactions from the left-side menu. In the mobile app, tap the menu icon in the top-left corner, then select Scheduled Transactions . The introduction of the Scheduled Transactions page is the first phase of the implementation of the Recurring Transactions feature , which is coming soon. The User Guide will be updated when the Recurring Transactions feature is released. Stay tuned!✌️
