Over the last few months, our system for compensating core contributors has proven effective. We've built a sustainable foundation that recognizes the invisible labor that keeps the project running. Now, it's time to look ahead.

As we step into 2026, it's natural to look back at the year that just passed. While many apps send you a "year in review" at the end of December, we thought it would be fun to create something special for Actual Budget users — a way to reflect on your financial journey throughout 2025.

We want to express our sincere gratitude to all contributors who made Actual better throughout 2025—whether through code, issue reporting, feedback, testing, or helping the community. Thank you for your effort, passion, and collaboration! We look forward to an even more exciting 2026 together.

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

• Currency display in budget — Shows currency symbols in the budget view
• Mobile schedules page — Full schedules functionality now available on mobile devices
• Link detection in transaction notes — URLs in transaction notes are now automatically detected and made clickable
• Historical data — Minimum transaction year extended from 2000 to 1995

For Linux users, we have officially released to Flathub!

Hello Actual Budgeters! Another year has gone by with many fixes and upgrades to Actual. Let's look back over the year and also look at what's to come.

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

• Experimental: Crossover report for tracking progress towards financial independence.
• Experimental: Add force reload button to settings to force update the budget client.
• Add ability to quickly create single instance schedules from the account ledger.
• Add running balance on mobile account view.
• Add CTRL/CMD+Enter keyboard command for entering only a single new transaction on desktop.

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
