Actual has started receiving what can only be described as AI slop — pull requests and issues generated entirely by automated systems with no human involvement. These require the same amount of triage and review time as genuine contributions, but add no value. Every minute spent dealing with machine-generated junk is time not spent improving Actual itself.

This release contains the following notable improvements, along with numerous fixes:

• Add a mobile view for the bank sync settings page
• Add a new delete rule action
• Experimental feature: expand the currencies available and where they are displayed
• Experimental feature: formula card and rule/report formulas

Note: We are dropping support for Node versions older than 22 in this release. If you are using one of these versions of Node you will need to upgrade to at least Node 22.

Three months ago, we launched an experiment: using community donations to directly support the people who keep this project running. The idea was simple — compensate core contributors for the invisible but essential work of reviewing pull requests, triaging issues, and preparing releases.

Today, we’re excited to share that the trial has been a success. 🎉

Thanks to your feedback, patience, and ongoing support, we’ve ironed out the kinks in the system, resolved bugs in the points tracking process, and proven that this model is both fair and sustainable.

As a result: we’re making contributor payments permanent.

This release contains the following improvements, along with numerous fixes:

• Add a mobile view for the payees page
• Add API endpoints for interaction with schedules
• Expand the range of display currencies available
• Introduce a graph to show balance over time on account pages

This release contains the following improvements, along with numerous fixes:

This release has many notable improvements. Some highlights:

• Select income categories to automatically hold for next month
• Show bank-sync balances when reconciling accounts
• Open a command bar with Ctrl-K (Cmd-K on Mac)

As of this release we are also now publishing nightly versions of all the NPM packages, giving more consistency for anyone testing features before they are released.

Our open source community has reached an exciting point: thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, we now have a steady flow of funds coming in. First of all — thank you.

This support allows us to make the project more sustainable for everyone involved. We want to start by addressing something that is often overlooked in open source: the invisible labor that keeps everything running.

We’re proposing a 3-month trial program to pay our core maintainers for the essential (but often unglamorous) work of:

• Reviewing pull requests
• Triage and categorize GitHub issues
• Preparing releases

We believe it’s time to recognize the financial value of labor — but before we move forward, we want to hear your feedback. Join the conversation on [Discord] or leave anonymous feedback in [this form].

Update: This proposal has been approved. More details about the payment system can be found in the paying contributors page.

This release contains the following improvements:

• Ensures the server version is accurately displayed when deploying using Docker
• Fixes a rare crash when selecting dates
• Upgrades the Docker image to use Node.js version 20
