October 2026
Faster, sharper answers
Your money story and Ask your money (both Pro) now answer faster and get more questions right. Spreadsheet column detection on import got smarter too.
Changelog
What has changed in DonkeyBucks, most recent first.
September 2026
Work spending: paid back and business
Mark a charge as one your employer will pay back, or as a business expense. It stays out of your personal totals, and a new Work page tracks what you are still owed. Pro can link a payback deposit to the charges it covers.
September 2026
Leave one-off spending out of your budget
A trip, a tax bill, a big repair: leave it out of your monthly budget with one click, give it a label, and put it back any time. A switch shows your month with or without it.
September 2026
Sorting that learns from you
Automatic sorting now files transactions into categories instead of just suggesting them. Once you have approved a merchant a few times, DonkeyBucks stops asking about it.
August 2026
Lower price: $2.99/mo or $29/yr
Pro dropped to $2.99 a month or $29 a year. Recurring snapshot and goals are now part of Free. Every new account still starts with 30 days of Pro, no credit card.
August 2026
Money story and Ask your money
A plain-English summary of your month, and a box where you can ask questions like "how much did I spend on dining out this year?" Numbers are always calculated from your own data. Smart CSV column detection is free for everyone.
July 2026
A clearer budget page
Each spending tier shows whether you are on track, watching, or over, with a next-move note. Goals come with preset templates and a guided setup, and mobile screens were tightened up throughout.
June 2026
Smarter transaction review
Reviewing transactions got faster, with better suggestions and less clunk.
May 2026
Refunds and transfers handled correctly
Refunds now show up as income rather than disappearing. Credit card payments and transfers between your own accounts are left out of spending totals, so your budget math is accurate.
April 2026
Budget framework with live tracking
Budget setup remembers your income, deductions, and tax percentage. Sliders work in real time against your actual spending, and you can lock a line item to protect it from recalculation.
March 2026
Dashboard and spending tiers
The core app shipped: total balance, monthly income and expenses, savings rate, spending by category, and the four-tier flexibility breakdown (Fixed Essential, Variable Essential, Discretionary Recurring, Discretionary One-Time).
February 2026
Initial launch
DonkeyBucks begins, with the foundations of transactions and budgeting.
