Improved way to establish accounts from bank feeds
Update · 31 Jul, 2019

We have made it simpler to establish bank accounts after you have connected a bank feed. It is now much easier to link to an existing account or create new accounts.

For more details about establishing accounts from bank feeds, check out the following guide: Establishing your bank feed accounts in PocketSmith.

Updated desktop apps
Update · 24 Jul, 2019

We have updated our beta desktop apps to version 0.20, which is a maintenance release that updates the framework that the desktop application is built on.

The updated desktop app can be downloaded at

One-off budget event improvements
Update · 24 Jul, 2019

We have recently improved how PocketSmith deals with one-off budget events, and things will now behave in a way which we think is more usable and sensible.

One-off budget events are no longer “inserted” into a series of repeating budgets within the same category, and will not stand alone within a sequence of repeating budgets. So, if you add an extra $50 to your $170 weekly Groceries budget, you’ll have a $220 grocery budget that week - instead of the extra $50 forming its own budget period.

Also, one-off budgets will no longer have a period which extends forward to the end of your forecast. Due to recent improvements in how flexible we can be in budget analysis, this is no longer necessary to provide an accurate analysis of a series of one-off budget events.

Various other small quirks and oddities with one-off budget events will also have been fixed with this release. If you notice anything out of the ordinary or any unexpected quirks as a result of this release, please get in touch and let us know!

Adding attachments in the mobile apps
New feature · 2 Jul, 2019

In the iOS and Android apps, you can now snap a photo on your phone and attach it to a transaction or upload the photo to the attachment inbox for attaching to a transaction later.

When adding a new cash transaction or editing a transaction, there is new attachment field where you can attach photos from your camera, files from your phone or files in the attachment inbox. You can also view any currently attached files.

Two new widgets have been added to the Dashboard. One allows you to select either a camera or file upload to the attachment inbox. The second widget provides access to the attachment inbox for viewing your attachments.

Page tips
New feature · 6 Jun, 2019

To help provide more context for the different pages within PocketSmith, we have added page tips with helpful information about the page you are viewing.

New PocketSmith users will see the page tips fully expanded when they first visit a page and once they are familiar with the page it can be minimized.

Current PocketSmith users will see this tips minimised and can expand the tips by clicking on the tips icon in the bottom-right. You can also remove the tips completely by closing the tips icon.

A quicker way to adjust a new categories settings
New feature · 30 May, 2019

It is now quicker to adjust a categories settings after you have created a category while editing budgets or categorising your transactions.

If you have created a category while editing a transaction or budget, you will see a notification in the bottom-left once you have saved your changes. This allows you to quickly access the settings of the new category.



Improved automatic transfer marking
Update · 20 May, 2019

We have improved the automatic transfer marking of transactions to reduce the number of transactions being marked incorrectly.

If you have category rules or filters to automatically categorise your transactions, it will now only mark the transaction as a transfer if it is within a transfer category or it is marked as a transfer by a filter.

Quicker account ordering
Update · 7 Mar, 2019

We have made it easier for you to adjust the order of your accounts within PocketSmith.

When viewing ‘All banks’ on the Account Summary page, click and hold on the drag handle that is on the top-left of each account and move the account into your desired position.

For more details on how this works, have a look at this guide in the Learn Center: https://learn.pocketsmith.com/article/191-change-the-display-order-of-your-accounts#accountsummary



Multi-currency support for budgets
Update · 20 Feb, 2019

We first released multi-currency support for transactions and balances just over 4 years ago. Adding multi-currency support to budgets was quite tricky, but now budgets also support multi-currency!

Your budgets will now be in the currency of the account they are within and will be converted to the base currency using the current exchange rate.

For more information about budgets and multi-currency visit - https://learn.pocketsmith.com/article/122-multi-currency-features-currently-available#budgets

We've given the budget form a fresh look!
Update · 28 Jan, 2019

With so much added functionality to budget creation over the past 10 years, it was high time we had an interface to reflect this.

One key change is splitting the form into Simple and Advanced versions. This means you can quickly add a budget much like you could in the original 2008 form, or fine-tune your different budgets so you’re never caught short. The inclusion of bill and scheduled income settings gives you control over your budget types where it really matters.

Transaction totals and summing
New feature · 8 Oct, 2018

We’ve saved you a trip to the calculator by making the total numbers on the top right of the transactions table smarter! It now shows the sum value of transactions you’ve selected. Click on the value to see the sum, total in, and total out of all transactions.

Remembering category changes for new transactions
Update · 22 Jun, 2018

Previously when you renamed or deleted a category, it would show up again if that old category was imported with a transaction from a bank feed or a bank file. Not great!

Now, PocketSmith remembers when you’ve deleted a category or changed its name, and makes sure that imported transactions are either assigned to the renamed category or are uncategorised if you deleted the category. So - if you rename “Online Services” to “Internet”, all imported transactions with the category “Online Services” would be correctly categorised to “Internet”.

The Budget page has had a makeover
