Light, Dark and System appearance
Choose Light, Dark or System in Appearance, with separate customizable palettes and resets for light and dark, while keeping your existing light colors.
All changes
Everything that changed in owllet, newest first.
This is the same list the app shows under Settings → About → All changes. Each entry is dated by the day the change was actually made, which is not necessarily the day it reached the App Store — one release often carries several weeks of work.
Changes
Newest first
Owl logos and icons for both appearances
The owl logos inside the app now match its appearance, while separate light and dark Home Screen icons follow your iPhone's icon style.
Animated owl logo
The owllet owl now comes to life in the launch screen, Settings, About and the website logo: it drops in, flaps its wings and, apart from the launch screen, keeps blinking and looking around.
Monthly transaction overview
Transactions now shows the selected month's total income and expenses above the daily entries, alongside the controls for browsing earlier months.
More shortcuts in the bottom menu
The iOS bottom menu now shows four shortcuts at a time and lets you swipe through additional items one position at a time, while Menu stays fixed on the right.
Fixed page headers
Page titles and the workspace switcher stay in place while cards scroll underneath, with either the bottom menu or the hamburger menu enabled.
Browse transactions by month
A new toolbar at the top of Transactions lets you browse earlier months and return to the current month, even when a month has no entries.
Use approval time for recurring entries
Recurring expenses and income can now use the exact date and time you approve them as their ledger date, for both fixed and variable amounts, while keeping their repeat schedule.
Bottom menu position restored
The bottom menu once again sits above the home indicator, keeping its full height visible and its buttons easy to tap.
Notification amounts match your colors
Expense and income amounts in shared-transaction notifications now use the same customizable colors as your transaction list.
Shared transaction details at a glance
Individual shared-transaction notifications now show who added the transaction, its amount in bold and its category or subcategory directly in the list, with the same detail view available on tap.
No more flicker when opening owllet
Opening owllet — from the icon, from the app switcher, or after unlocking with your PIN or Face ID — now always starts with empty cards that fill in with their usual animation, instead of briefly showing the previous screen's contents or grey placeholder shapes first.
More flexible category moves
Category moves can now keep the moved category as a separate subcategory or merge it into an ungrouped main category, while owllet automatically moves existing transactions, recurring rules and budgets into a same-named subcategory whenever a main category becomes a group.
New subcategories match their parent's look
Creating a subcategory now starts with its parent category's color and icon, which you can still change afterwards.
Reset colors to defaults
The Appearance screen now shows a Reset to defaults option whenever you've changed a color, so you can put every color back to how the app shipped in one tap.
Month by month in your transaction lists
Opening an account, a category from the Expenses by category chart, or the Dashboard's income and expenses totals now shows one month at a time, headed by that month's total with arrows for stepping back through earlier months — and every day now shows its income below its expenses.
iCloud sync reliability
Queued changes no longer stall before finishing their upload, large first-time uploads are considerably faster, and a workspace no longer reports a problem while it is already fully in sync.
Sync status explanations and diagnostics
The iCloud sync page now says exactly why a workspace is not fully synced and how many changes are still queued, and a new Sync diagnostics screen can export a report you can share with support.
Reminders across every workspace
Recurring reminders now cover all workspaces rather than only the active one, are grouped into one reminder per workspace, and open the right page when tapped even from a closed app.
Notification centre
A new inbox collects recurring reminders and shared-workspace activity in one place, with an unread badge in the menu and a tap that takes you straight to the item.
No duplicate recurring entries
Approving the same pending recurring item on two synced devices now results in a single transaction instead of two.
Drag-and-drop Dashboard setup
Dashboard blocks can now be reordered by touching and holding a block, then dragging it into place.
Calculator-style amount keypad
Amount entry now includes addition, subtraction, multiplication and division across transactions, budgets, accounts, search and recurring approvals.
Clearer page and workspace navigation
Back controls, Settings pages and workspace details now provide a more consistent navigation experience.
Consistent category visibility
Hiding a main category now also hides its subcategories from budgets and new-entry lists.
Search totals and filtering
Search now shows daily and overall result totals, with more reliable updates when search text is cleared.
Historical monthly budgets
Budget progress and category spending can now be reviewed month by month.
More reliable iCloud synchronization
Sync now preserves pending changes more reliably, retries interrupted transfers and provides clearer status feedback.
Budget transaction controls
Transactions shown under budgets can now be edited with a tap or removed using a swipe action.
Clearer overspending details
Overspending calculations and indicators were corrected, with clearer totals in budget and transaction lists.
Spreadsheet import and sync status fixes
Imports from older workspaces now work more reliably, with improved progress and iCloud sync status information.
iCloud sharing
Invite another iCloud user to a workspace and keep its accounts, categories, transactions and recurring items synchronized together.
iCloud sync
Workspaces can now sync through your private iCloud, either all together or only for the workspaces you choose.
iCloud backups
You can now create iCloud backup files for your data, with automatic backups available for regular protection.
Easy and Power workspace modes
New workspaces can now be created as Easy or Power mode, with simplified recording for Easy mode and the full feature set in Power mode.
Workspaces
Separate workspaces now keep ledgers, settings and records scoped to the selected workspace.
Recurring transactions
Recurring income and expenses can now be scheduled, reviewed, approved, skipped or added automatically, and the reminder notifications for recurring items were refined.
User experience refinements
Several quality-of-life improvements were introduced, including forms that jump straight to the first field with the keyboard ready, and a one-tap demo dataset.
Fully hideable bottom menu
The bottom navigation bar can now be turned off completely under Interface → Bottom menu.
12-month Statistics charts
The Statistics bar charts now show the current month plus the previous 11 months.
Security and local data tools
PIN, biometric lock, privacy cover, import, export and local data management were added under Settings.
Customisable colour palette
Pick your own hex codes for the page background, the Dashboard's Income / Expenses sub-cards and every palette colour used by accounts and categories.
Unified Dashboard, History & Settings layout
Every tab and Settings sub-page now follows the same card / section shell, so switching pages doesn't shift the visuals.
Bug fixes and internal work that you would never notice are left out on purpose. If something you
rely on changed, it is here.
