New protections against automated signups, plus email confirmation and a smoother first sign-in for Google and Apple accounts.
Fixed a budgeting week that spans two months showing the wrong month on some due dates.
iOS subscriptions now go through secure web checkout and return you straight back to the app, with a single subscription to manage across web and mobile.
Budget for once-a-year bills with a new yearly frequency, plus fixes so the uncategorized list loads reliably and newly added categories show up right away.
Alto's backend moved to a new database and authentication platform — for stronger, database-enforced security and a more reliable foundation as we grow. Your data and your login carry over with nothing to do on your end.
Choose exactly what you're notified about and how — push, email, both, or neither — and get a real-time alert the moment new transactions need categorizing or a bank connection breaks.
The mobile budget detail screen now understands one-off expenses, showing them as a single dated event and letting you change the date or convert between one-off and recurring — with assigned funds following the expense.
Added a daily reconciliation job that corrects subscription state if a Stripe or App Store webhook is ever missed, and removed the loan account type to focus Alto on checking, savings, and credit cards.
Stripe (web) and App Store (iOS) subscriptions now reconcile into a single source of truth, so you get Pro on every device, can't be charged twice, and one store can never cancel a subscription the other owns.
Alto's free tier now supports unlimited accounts with a cap of 1,000 transactions, while bank syncing remains a premium feature.
You can now temporarily skip expenses and incomes for a pay period without deleting them from your budget.
Integrated PostHog product analytics on both web and mobile, configured first-party ad-blocker mitigation, and set up server-side billing conversion tracking.
Credit card payments from your bank are now plain transactions instead of auto-linked transfers, making budgeting them simpler and more reliable.
Fixed biweekly pay schedules showing the wrong day, closed a free-tier account-limit loophole, hardened subscription handling, and expanded the admin panel into a full user-support control center.
Added brute-force protection and sign-up privacy, and enforced unique names and per-user bank transaction tracking to prevent duplicate data.
Added welcome emails and a self-service password reset flow, plus accurate Spent totals for monthly expenses.
Reconcile checking, savings, and credit card accounts to align their balances with your bank records in one click.
Every money field is now stored and computed as integer cents end-to-end, eliminating an entire class of floating-point rounding bugs (including a stray "-$0.00" some envelopes were showing).
Security and reliability fixes ahead of the public launch, a simpler savings flow, and new legal pages.
Track 0% intro APR purchases and balance transfers with explicit per-payment allocation, days remaining, and a stacked suggested payment.
Ensure credit card accounts always have a linked payment category in the budget and keep both sides in sync.
Fix the Add Transaction modal on the transactions page defaulting into loan-payment mode.
Track your net worth over time with a new chart available on the accounts page.
Archive categories you no longer use to remove them from new pay periods while preserving historical envelopes for past periods.
Uncategorized transactions now suggest a category based on how you previously categorized transactions with the same description.
Categories can now use custom recurring intervals like every 3 weeks, every other day, or every 2 months.
