1.10.0

Passkeys, two-factor and a quicker first expense

This release adds two ways to protect your account and a quicker first expense, and fixes sign-in and live updates on iPhone and Android.

  • Sign in with a passkey. A passkey uses Face ID, Touch ID, or your screen lock, and it stays on your device
  • Turn on two-factor authentication with an authenticator app, with ten backup codes for when you can't reach it
  • Your first expense is one step: type the amount, add a category if you like, and it's on your nest's home. You can also add one on eider.app before you make an account
  • Creating your first nest is one tap, because the name and currency start filled in
  • On Android, signing in with Google keeps you signed in instead of sending you to sign-up, including after you sign out
  • On Android, password managers can fill sign-in when you reach it from sign-up, and Change password
  • Header buttons and sheets open faster on iPhone and Android
  • On iPhone and Android, changes other people make in your nest show up as they happen again
  • Editing an expense before your balance has loaded no longer shows the edit's change as your whole balance
1.9.0

Fixes to editing and notifications

This release fixes how an edited expense divides its total, where a few notifications land, and two pages on the web.

  • Changing only an expense's amount keeps the odd cent with the person who paid, instead of moving it to whoever made the edit
  • Changing the total of an expense in a foreign currency drops its old conversion, so it no longer shows a rate the new total contradicts
  • A notification about a period in a nest of three or more opens that period's breakdown instead of an error
  • On iPhone and Android, tapping a notification from another nest opens its page fully loaded instead of filling it in piece by piece
  • Nudging again before 24 hours have passed tells you it's too soon, instead of saying the nudge didn't go through
  • On the web, the notifications page opens right away after Eider has been in the background for a while
  • When you're signed in, the blog and docs pages show Launch app instead of asking you to sign in
1.7.0

Notifications and interface fixes

This release is mostly about notifications: what a push shows you, where a tap lands, and whether the unread count is right when you open the app. A few interface fixes came with it.

  • Push notifications on iOS now show the receipt photo
  • Tapping a notification opens the app on the Eider splash screen and lands in the right place
  • A link in an email now opens the app on the nest it was written for
  • The unread badge shows the real number instead of counting some notifications twice
  • Your notifications no longer repeat or skip a row when two arrive in the same moment
  • An expense you edit while someone is joining your nest now splits against everyone in it
  • Toasts sit at the bottom of the screen, buttons lift clear of them, and the update prompt names the Update button
  • In dark mode, a shaded row inside a card reads as part of the card instead of a gap in it
  • A validation error no longer pushes the sign-up button under the keyboard
1.6.10

  • Our copy now appears on every page in the app
  • A first run screen shows you what Eider does when you sign up
  • A post about settling up is published and featured on the blog
  • The auth submit button now scrolls clear of the keyboard
  • Switching nests refreshes the new nest's data
  • Catch-up notifications use the right time to pull what you've missed
  • The native badge displays its full icon, not just its label
  • The lifetime chart labels its first period as "day one"
  • Pull-to-refresh now works when you pull, not when you press a key
  • Links within public pages now navigate without reloading
1.6.9

New features and fixes

  • You can now visit a public blog with an index, individual posts, and an archive.
  • A request with no absolute base can no longer leave your device.
1.6.8

Docs, security update, and bug fixes

We've added a public docs site, improved authentication security, and fixed several issues across the app.

  • A public /docs site now has its first topic: an explainer on repeating expenses
  • Improved authentication security
  • Fixed an issue where the cold-open deadline could cause a wait, and where an abandoned warm could corrupt its key
  • Fixed several visual bugs: splits rescale correctly on amount-only edits, optimistic accounts display properly, the invite wording is correct, and the connect-bank column renders as intended
  • Catch-ups now load one page of history instead of all at once
1.6.7

New features and fixes

This release adds better navigation and fixes a few issues you might have noticed.

  • Public routes now link onward instead of ending at the sitemap
  • Rooms now show the correct watermark
  • On a landscape tablet, you can scroll the detail sheet while keeping the keys visible
  • Opening an inbox from another nest now shows the right unread messages
1.6.6

Fixes and improvements

This release fixes a couple of issues to make the app more reliable.

  • The cooldown line now shows which day you're waiting until, and the success confirmation appears only once
  • We fixed a timing issue that sometimes caused the app to stall when loading, and improved how the app checks for new data
  • The app now uses less memory when you navigate between screens
1.6.5

Fixes and improvements

This release fixes issues with scrolling and rendering, and improves performance.

  • Improved performance of the public surface by prerendering each session state.
1.6.3

Fixes and improvements

This release fixes a keyboard issue on iOS.

  • On iOS, the keyboard now dismisses when you use the picker without searching
1.6.2

Fixes and improvements

This release includes several fixes to how Eider displays charges and notifications.

  • The recap narration now spells out "totaling" correctly.
  • Push notifications for receipts are now sharper, with two follow-up improvements.
  • The payee action button now shows who paid, with the primary button positioned on the right.
  • The amount your partner is billed is now calculated rather than manually entered.
1.6.1

Fixes and improvements

This release fixes 4 issues across the app.

  • When you refuse a nest switch, the app now shows which mode you rejected and stops prompting you to retry
  • The mark is now a circle and groups the day's transactions into it
  • When you tap a notification to open the app, the brand loads and the sheet you land on is already open
  • When you land on a cross-nest notification, the nest home stays under the sheet
1.6.0

Fixes and improvements

This release fixes how the app works on Android and how pickers hand back the keyboard.

  • Eider now requires Android 8.0 or newer, which is the floor set by our bank connection provider
  • A picker without search now closes the keyboard it opened
1.5.1

New features and fixes

This release lets you record payments yourself and makes small improvements to how the app saves your work.

  • You can now record a payment yourself after someone pays you
  • Days with fewer expenses now space their dots evenly instead of crowding them at the edges

  • Fixed five issues found during code review
  • The recap button now opens the report for the month you're recapping
1.5.0

  • Staging no longer reports to Sentry as production
  • The Android sheet chrome now moves inside the clipped content box
  • A failed dismissal now takes back only its own keys
1.4.3

Guided tours, and act on any nest from anywhere

Guided tours now walk you through the home screen and the quick-add sheet, and you can act on any nest from anywhere without switching to it first. A typed title fills in the merchant and card, hint cards look the same on both platforms, and a run of fixes keeps a stored card's last four digits out of what your co-members see.

  • The web home screen now has a guided tour you can run any time
  • You can now act on any nest from anywhere, without switching to it first
  • When you type a title, it now fills in the merchant and card, not just the category
  • The quick-add sheet tour now highlights its tiles and the Repeats pill, with a camera tip anchored to the button it explains
  • Hint cards now appear consistently on both platforms
  • The invite alert's title now matches your nest's name
  • The activity feed no longer includes a stored card's last four digits
  • A nudge now names the person it's for, so nests of three or more can nudge again
1.4.2

A merge that stays merged

Merging two shops together used to come undone the moment the next receipt named the one you merged away. Now it holds, for shops and for accounts alike, and undoing it still gives you the old name back.

  • A receipt that arrives naming a shop you merged away is filed under the shop you kept, instead of bringing the old name back and the duplicate with it
  • The same holds for two accounts you merged, so a charge that turns up under an old account name lands on the account you kept
  • Undo still works both ways: undo a merge and the old name goes back to being its own shop, findable and usable again
  • The history entry an account merge leaves behind no longer names the account, so a co-member reading it cannot see a name that could carry your card's last four digits
  • On a settled period, insights that need Plus now say what they are and how to get them, instead of leaving a quiet gap in the page
1.4.1

Sharper receipt reading, and accounts that stay yours

Scanning reads the total and the tip more carefully, so a bill opens at the amount you were charged. Alongside it, a run of fixes keeps your own accounts, and your own membership, to yourself.

  • A scan tells a printed total from a handwritten one, and reads what a card slip charged before the tip, so a restaurant bill and a warehouse receipt both open at what you were actually charged
  • When the figures on a receipt do not add up, the amount is only ever corrected upward, so a delivery or resort fee nobody read stops pulling the total below what you paid
  • A receipt you zoom into stays in frame, so it can no longer be dragged off screen with no way back
  • A slow cold open pulses gently behind the wordmark, so a held start reads as working rather than stuck
  • Looping motion holds still when your phone asks for reduced motion
  • An expense attaches only to your own card or bank account, never to a co-member's
  • An account you never named shows a co-member a plain kind word instead of a name that could carry its last four digits
  • Covered by someone else's annual Plus membership? You are no longer shown as holding Plus yourself, and the members list counts people instead of naming a plan
1.4.0

Undo a merge, and steadier splits

Merging two shops into one can now be undone for a month. Alongside it, a run of fixes keeps your splits and your period balances landing where they should.

  • Changed your mind about merging two shops together? Undo it for up to 30 days, from the shop you kept, and every expense goes back where it came from
  • An expense you backdate into an earlier period takes its balance with it, so each period totals up what it actually holds
  • Adding an expense under a saved shop rule keeps the shares that rule sets
  • A repeating expense is split by the rule your nest holds now, even when the rule changed while the expense was being added
  • In a nest of one, changing your split rule stops repricing the expenses you already added, settled ones included
  • On iPhone, the delete confirmation opens when you pick Delete in a Manage list, and the nest periods screen has its way back
  • If creating a nest goes wrong, you get a message that says what happened instead of a raw error
1.3.10

Fixes and improvements

A round of fixes to the small things, and quiet groundwork for what comes next.

  • Alert banners show the colors they are meant to, so a warning reads as one at a glance
  • The close button on a sheet sits above the screen it covers, so it is always there to tap
  • On the phone, the invites you have not answered yet load in your account panel
  • A draft you start stays with you and the nest you started it in
1.3.9

One merchant, and notifications that stay in their nest

Two of the same shop in your list can now become one, and the expenses come with it. The bell stops mixing your nests together, and a push says which nest it happened in.

  • Fold a duplicate merchant into the one you keep, and every expense filed under the old name moves across with the category you already set
  • The bell shows the nest you are in, so a second nest's rows stop turning up interleaved with the one you are reading
  • A push banner names the nest it happened in and carries the receipt, which is the one place the nest was never on screen
  • The unread count stops counting rows the list will not show you
  • A member your standing rule does not name is shown the even split they will actually be charged, instead of 0%
  • On the phone, Manage merchants and bank accounts open and act instead of doing nothing
  • Choose whether repeating expenses may open new periods, a nest setting that starts from the size of your nest and puts a once per period checkbox on the expense
  • A card shows the name you gave it instead of its brand and last four digits, and the digits you stored are never read back onto the screen
  • Adding cash gives you the cash account you already have instead of a second one, so your cash history stops splitting across two rows
  • An account you just added stops disappearing when something goes wrong mid-save, and a row whose account is missing no longer freezes the feed
1.3.8

Notifications that say what happened

A notification now tells you what changed and takes you straight to it, in whichever nest it happened. Receipt scanning got sharper alongside it: turn a sideways page the right way up, and a handwritten tip stops going missing.

  • Tapping a notification opens the thing it is about, even when it happened in a nest you were not looking at
  • A notification says what actually happened - what was added, who added it, which nest it was in, and the receipt beside it
  • Email for the three you should not miss: your invite was accepted, the split rule changed, or a repeating expense needs an amount
  • An invite link shared in a message unfurls into a card naming who invited you, and opens a real page when you are signed out
  • Turn a sideways receipt the right way up while you review it, before anything is read off it
  • A handwritten tip is read off the card slip, so a tipped restaurant bill records what you actually paid instead of the pre-tip total
  • A scanned expense goes through the split step, so you can adjust the split in the moment instead of it landing on the standing rule
  • Repeat purchases from the same shop stay under one merchant, so the category you set carries over
  • The balance card pans across a nest bigger than four, adding an expense right after a nest switch no longer bounces, and a split rule saved as someone joins keeps their share
1.3.7

Fixes from the first week of testing

Everything the first week of the closed test turned up, fixed. Joining a nest, adding an expense, and catching up after the wifi drops all behave now.

  • Joining a nest from an invite now folds you into the member you were standing in for, so Members stops listing you twice and the balances update on the spot
  • Your phone catches up on its own after the wifi drops, so an expense a nest member added while you were offline shows up without a pull to refresh
  • Adding an expense no longer closes the app
  • Spending patterns on a quiet month draws dots you can actually see and tap
  • Searching in a picker no longer loses a character to the keyboard sliding up
  • A receipt scan that fails on a connection problem now says so and offers a retry, instead of calling your photo unreadable
1.3.6

Repeating expenses and part-payments

Repeating expenses moved to their own screen, a payment can now cover part of what a pair owes, and the periods you have not settled yet are easier to see.

  • Repeating expenses moved to their own screen, so rent and utilities can repeat every few days, weeks, or months
  • Settle up for part of what a pair owes, and a payment clears the oldest open period first
  • Periods you have not settled yet sit under the balance card, so nothing quietly stacks up
  • Receipt scanning reads the merchant, total, and date
1.3.0

The first Eider build to reach testers, on the Google Play closed track.

  • Create a nest, add expenses, and settle up on iOS, Android, and the web
  • A page for deleting your account that you can reach without signing in
  • An invite link opens straight in the app when you have it installed
  • Dozens of fixes ahead of the test, across the split editor, nest switching, and receipt capture
