Version 1.8.0
LatestOctober 2026Pocketbird on Apple Watch
Your watch shows what you can spend today and your own Quick Log buttons, so a regular expense is one tap from your wrist — your iPhone saves the entry. A complication keeps today's figure on your watch face. The watch has no sign-in of its own: everything comes from the iPhone it's paired with.
Pockets you can share with family or friends
Turn on Share with others when you create a pocket and invite family or friends with a link. Members have roles, put money in, and can borrow from the pocket and pay it back, and they see only that pocket's entries. Personal and shared pockets live in one list, and a pocket can be left out of Safe to Spend and reports. Shared pockets need cloud sync, and they're on the web too.
A new Menu, and a simpler Settings with search
More is now Menu: your profile, live money tiles, your tools and every screen in one place, with a dot when a bill is due soon. Settings is grouped into a few pages, with a search that finds a setting by its name. Some things moved: Quick Log buttons, Round-Up Savings, Siri & Shortcuts and Calendar feed are under Tools in Menu (in Settings on iPad), Invite Friends and Change Password are on My Profile — tap your name at the top of Settings — and Version History is under Settings → About → Version & Policies.
Recurring, redesigned
Recurring groups your bills by when they're due, with each bill's logo, and you can mark one paid, skip it or snooze it right from the list. Each bill's page shows its history cycle by cycle, and a bill-due notification now opens straight to it.
Shops, redesigned: Today, Overview and Back Office
A shop now opens on Today: today's sales and costs, yesterday beside them, and closing the day at the bottom. Overview shows profit for the period you pick and what needs attention, and Back Office holds the shop's details, the team with when each person last logged, invites and settings. Logging a sale or cost is quicker, from a dock at the bottom of the shop, the shop list shows every shop's day at a glance, and Home can show a card with the last 7 days' profit and daily sales.
Invite friends and collect ลูกนกน้อย
Your own code to copy or share is on My Profile: open Settings — from Profile & Settings in Menu on iPhone — and tap your name at the top. When a friend you invite logs 10 transactions in their first 7 days, you each get one ลูกนกน้อย — up to 9 a year, and each one lasts 12 months. ลูกนกน้อย are saved to your account; they can't be bought and have no cash value. A friend can enter your code in their first 7 days, and Invite Friends is on the web too.
A profile worth showing off
My Profile now shows the days you've logged, how many transactions you've recorded and your current streak, with your invite code and a card you can share in one tap. Founding members get an Early Bird badge. Your name and photo are edited from the Edit button, as before.
Remind a friend with a link
On money someone owes you, Make a Link to Send creates a page that shows only that amount, the due date, your name and your invite code — your friend doesn't need Pocketbird to open it, and nothing else from Pocketbird is on it. Links last 60 days and you can stop sharing at any time. On the web too.
Made around how you get paid and how you spend
Tell Pocketbird how you get paid — when you start, or later under Settings → About You — and Home puts what suits you first. A new entry suggests a category, account and tags from the day, time and amount you usually spend, says why, and is yours to correct; the guessing happens on your device. Choose the voice of your cycle recap under Settings → Voice & Ask Rules, and show years as Buddhist (2569) or Gregorian (2026) under Settings → Display.
Estimate your tax deductions, and export a year-end report
Tax deductions, on Summary, estimates your Thai personal income tax deductions from what you already log: how much of each one you've used this year and how much room is left before 31 December. It's an estimate, not tax advice. Export on Summary can now make a year-end report for the tax year, as Excel, PDF or CSV. Both are on the web too.
Card instalments follow the bank's billing, and a top-up bonus is one step
An instalment plan on a card now counts its periods the way the issuer bills them — from the statement the plan starts on, at the monthly amount the bank charges, with the last one taking the remainder — and a plan's term and start date can be changed after you save it. A plan you were already paying before you tracked the card picks up where it is without counting as new spending, a plan's interest is recorded once on the purchase, and a card's statement shows the instalments not yet billed. A top-up that gives you more than you pay — pay 500, get 600 — is one step: enter what you actually received and the bonus is saved as income. On the web too.
Compare with statement reads your card app's list, and slips learn your card
Compare with statement can now check an account against the transaction list in your bank or card app — as screenshots or pasted text — as well as a statement file. An entry logged up to 3 days off is matched and listed under Logged on a different day with a one-tap Fix date, several entries that add up to one line count as that line, and a charge refunded in full no longer shows as missing. When a slip or receipt prints card digits no account has, the account you pick can remember them in one tap, so the next one lands there by itself.
Coming Up as a calendar, and Summary for past cycles
Coming Up can show a month calendar, with a dot on each day money moves in or out — tap a day for its bills and its net. Summary steps back through past cycles with ‹ ›, and its headline and Category Budgets open the cycle you're looking at. Automation rules can have exceptions — a category, an account or a time of day they skip — and News from Pocketbird in Settings keeps the announcements we send you.
Liquid Glass on Home and Ask, −฿ for money out, and a gentle shimmer
Home and Ask Pocketbird take on Apple's Liquid Glass, and Home's top card shows what's safe to spend per day from the money in your accounts, line by line down to what's left for the rest of the cycle. Money going out reads −฿ everywhere, in the app and on the web, and while a screen loads it shows a gentle shimmer in the shape of what's coming instead of a spinner.
Your investments count in your net worth
Add your funds, RMF and Thai ESG, provident fund, stocks, gold, crypto or property under Investments — from the net-worth card on Summary or from Accounts — and their value is added to your net worth. Update the value whenever you check your statement or app; Pocketbird doesn't fetch prices. Add Money moves cash from an account into an investment and Withdraw moves it back: your net worth stays the same and it never counts as spending or income, so your budget and plans aren't thrown off. Each investment shows what you've paid in, your gain or loss and its history. It's on the web too, and a connected assistant can read and update it.
A receipt with many items is one bill now
A receipt you split into items used to fill your lists with one row per item. It's now kept as one bill: lists show it as a single row with how many items it has and what the promotions saved, and it opens to every item, by item or by category, each against its list price. Before you save, each line has its category — Category for N empty items fills the blank ones in one pick — discounts such as coupons, points or a member discount are rows of their own, and a footer reads list price minus discounts equals what you paid, with Save waiting until it adds up; a small gap can be booked as a discount. Items you logged one by one can be put together with Group into one receipt, the bill's date and time are edited once for every item, items can be dragged into the order printed on the receipt, and a photo of the slip can be attached. Account activity, categories, tags, payees, search, trips and pockets all show the bill as one row, with how many of its items a filtered list holds. Each item is still its own entry, so balances, budgets and totals are exactly what they were. Show Receipts Item by Item in Settings brings back one row per item, Insights adds up what promotions saved you, and it's all on the web too.
Paying off a debt no longer counts as spending, and Summary leads with what's left after bills
A loan or debt instalment was counted as spending, so your spending, budgets and insights were swollen by money that was really paying down what you owe. Debt repayments now stay out of every spending figure, in the app and on the web; the interest and fees on them still count. Summary shows them on their own in a new Debt payments this cycle card, by kind of debt, with principal, interest and fees. Summary's headline is now Left after bills — the money in your accounts minus what Coming Up says goes out in the next 30 days — with In accounts, Owed on cards and Net Worth beside it. Net worth now starts from your account balances, the same total Accounts shows, and an instalment contract already inside a card's balance is counted once. The Include Debts in Net Worth switch is gone: net worth always takes your debts off.
Every debt says when it ends and what each payment paid
A debt's page and every row on Debts now show when it ends and how many payments are left — Ends Sep 2027 · 12 payments left, with ≈ when a loan's interest makes it an estimate — and the last payment when it's a smaller one. Recording a payment on a debt you owe takes an optional interest and fee, the payment history shows principal and interest for each payment, and that interest counts in Cost of borrowing. A payment short of the instalment shows Partly paid instead of paid, and progress is how many instalments are covered, the same on Debts, the debt's page and Debt Insights. A debt with a schedule lists each period, paying more than one instalment asks Pay N periods ahead?, and a new card contract asks once whether the bank's first instalment is a different amount. And when someone pays you back more than they still owe, the payment settles the debt exactly and the extra is saved as its own entry in a category you pick — the same when you pay more than you owe. On the web too.
Pay Bills pays loans and card bills too, in one save
The Pay Bills sheet now lists the same bills Coming Up does — anything overdue first, then loan instalments, card bills and recurring bills, with nothing listed twice — and a card bill is paid as a transfer into the card. Pick a different account for any bill, save them all at once, and undo all of them with one tap. Home has a Next Bills card with the next three, overdue first, and a way into Pay Bills. A card whose latest statement you recorded with a ฿0 minimum has nothing to pay, so it no longer shows up as a bill in Coming Up, Home, Pay Bills, reminders or Left after bills. On the web too.
See what borrowing costs you, and record card interest in one tap
When a card's statement total doesn't match what Pocketbird counted, Record the difference splits the gap into Interest, Bank fee, Late fee or Can't find it — one tap each, and recording again edits the same entries instead of adding more. Cost of borrowing, from the Debts screen and Summary, adds up the interest and fees you've paid this month, this year and all time, by card and month by month. Before a card is due, it also tells you about how much interest paying only the minimum would add to the next statement — set the card's interest rate in Edit for a closer figure. The same is on the web, and a connected assistant can read it.
Paying a card: both balances in view, and the instalments it covered
Moving money between accounts now shows both balances and what each will be afterwards, warns — without stopping you — when a bank, cash or e-wallet account would go below zero, and offers amounts to tap: Transfer all, Top up to, the last amount, round amounts and, into a card, its minimum, its full statement or what it owes now. Swap accounts and your last three pairs are a tap away. When a payment into a card also pays instalment contracts on it, Mark the instalments in this payment says which ones, so each contract counts as paid. A slip whose recipient is one of your cards offers Record as a payment to that card. A card's activity shows instalments paid to it from other accounts, marked Not a card charge, and its header keeps card spending, bills paid and instalments paid apart. On a card whose balance includes its contracts, paying its bill or its instalment puts the whole payment into the card, so its balance drops by the instalments too, and the statement check no longer counts the bank's interest on those contracts twice. On the web too.
Cards whose balance already includes their installment contracts
If what a card owes already includes the installment contracts on its limit — the way the bank's total outstanding does — turn on Balance includes contracts in the card's settings, or tap the suggestion on the card. The contracts are then no longer taken off your available credit a second time or counted twice in the statement check. The statement breakdown only shows when there really are separate parts — Unpaid closed statement and New unbilled charges — instead of repeating what you owe. On a card with a statement day, This cycle can follow your Pay cycle or the Card cycle, with the due date, an awaiting-payment badge and the spending and installments going on this bill. The same is on the web.
Installment-only cards add up to their statement
A cash card that carries only installment contracts — no card spending — used to read "counted ฿0.00" against every statement, and its monthly figure counted a brand-new contract at its full installment even though the bank bills a smaller first one. The statement check now counts each contract's installment for that statement, a new contract's first installment is worked out from the statement total, and Update statement lets you check it per contract. Coming Up, reminders, monthly totals and Pay This Card's Installment all use the same figures.
An instalment paid early counts as paid straight away
Pay a debt's instalment a few days before it's due and the debt now says Paid this month at once — it no longer reads "Due in 3 days" with a button to log the instalment you've just paid, and you get no reminder for it. Pay only part of it and you're still reminded, for what's left. On a loan with an interest rate, the payoff month in Estimated at today's rate is now the same month as the end date at the top of the debt — the two used to disagree by a couple of months.
Every entry can say when in the day it happened
The add and edit form has a Time row under the date: Now, a part of the day — Morning, Late morning, Noon, Afternoon, Evening, Night or Late night — a time you set to the minute, or No time. The ledger and the entry's own page show the part of the day by its name instead of a made-up clock time. Moving an entry to yesterday or another day no longer stamps it with the moment you happened to log it — yesterday's lunch logged at 16:42 used to say 16:42 — it keeps just the day unless you pick a time. Entries you logged before look exactly as they did, and it works the same on the web and for entries a connected assistant logs. The same Time row is on every other place you log money too — Smart Paste, splitting a receipt, transfers between accounts, debt and card-instalment payments, and Pay Bills — and a split receipt uses one time for all its items. When a balance check offers to log a usual payment you missed, it suggests the part of the day you usually pay instead of guessing the minute.
See when in the day you spend
Insights has a new When You Spend card: this cycle's spending from morning to late night, the part of the day you spend most, and a tap on any bar lists those expenses. It only counts entries that have a time, says how many it left out, and notes that older entries use the time they were logged.
Slips, bank alerts and statements keep the time they print
A transfer slip that says 06:10 now lands at 06:10, not at the moment you scanned it — and the same goes for a bank alert you paste and a statement row that has a time. A date printed without a time stays without one, instead of borrowing the moment you logged it.
Tell Siri and Shortcuts when you spent it
Log Expense and Add Transaction in the Shortcuts app take a part of the day — this morning, tonight — or an exact time. Leave it out and the entry is logged at the moment the shortcut runs, as before.
Receipts scan more reliably, and land on the right card
A receipt that prints each item's name and price on separate lines now reads item by item, the total comes from the receipt's summary instead of an item's price, and more layouts add up — app receipts, a discount printed after the total, Total Payment (After Disc.). A receipt that runs over several screenshots goes in through Receipt in Several Screenshots, up to six, joined in order without repeating the overlap and only accepted when it adds up; sharing several screenshots from Photos does the same, and several slips shared at once become one entry each. A barcode printed with an item is kept with it, so next time the name and category fill in from what you saved before, and Price history shows the latest, lowest and highest you've paid. And a receipt that prints a card's last digits goes straight to the account you've given those digits under On Receipts, without needing a review; when Pocketbird only guesses from the shop's past receipts, it says so under the account.
Coming Up knows when your salary has arrived
Your salary stayed in Coming Up as money still to come even after it had landed, so money in and the net counted it twice. Log your salary within 3 days of payday and Coming Up now moves it to Already Received, shows how far it was from the salary you set, and leaves it out of money in and the net. A payday with nothing logged shows as not received yet.
Update your salary in one tap
When your recent salary deposits agree on an amount that differs from the salary you set, Coming Up offers to update it, so your plans and forecasts use what actually arrives. A one-off bonus or deduction doesn't set it off, and tap Not Now and it won't ask again until the amount changes — in the app or on the web.
Check an account's real balance and find what's missing
"Check balance" on any account takes the balance your bank or wallet shows and gives you the difference — then, before any adjustment, the likely reasons: a payment logged to the wrong account, a usual item you haven't logged, a cash or wallet balance that went below zero. Each one comes with a tap to fix it, and "Adjust to match" is still there for whatever is left.
A same-day nudge for the usual thing you haven't logged
If you usually pay for something on this day of the week — parking on office days, say — and nothing for it is logged today on any account, Home asks Usual today? in the evening, with Log It to add it in one tap at the usual price and account, Undo, and Not today. If your daily reminder is on, one notification lists what's still missing, and on a day you've skipped with Today's Rules, the habits that go with that rule stay quiet. The card can be moved or hidden in Customize Home. On the web too.
Skip a day-of-week rule for today, like on a WFH day
Rules that tag by day of the week — Work from Monday to Thursday, say — now show on Home under Today's Rules on the days they fire, with Skip Today for a day you work from home. The rule is back on its own tomorrow, and it can take its tag off what you've already logged today. Automation Rules has a Tag Office Days starter to set one up in a few taps, and entries logged through a connected assistant follow your rules and today's skip too.
Split a subscription with people who don't use Pocketbird
On a recurring bill, Split This Bill with Others lets you add the people who pay you back and how much each pays. Each time the bill is logged, your spending counts only your share, and each person's part shows under Debts as money they owe you for that bill. When money from them comes in for exactly what they owe — from a bank alert or slip, on the web, or through a connected assistant — it pays off the oldest one and is marked for you to review. It works on the web too, and a connected assistant can set it up. A share can be a fixed amount, a percent of each bill or the whole bill, and someone can pay another member's share for them under Paid by. One transfer that covers several people or several months settles all of them, oldest first, and you can also mark a share paid yourself — from a payment they sent or in cash — and undo it. Coming Up and your forecasts count only your share, and the bill's page shows your share per month and per year, each member, and the last few bills with who has paid. In Owed to You, bills that are fully collected fold away under Fully collected, with each person's name on the row.
See your bills and payday in your calendar
Calendar feed — under Tools in Menu, or in Settings on iPad — makes a private link you can subscribe to in Apple, Google or Outlook Calendar, showing upcoming bills, card due dates and payday. Amounts are left out unless you turn on Show amounts in the calendar, because calendar apps keep a copy on their own servers. Calendars refresh on their own schedule, usually every few hours, and you can make a new link or turn it off at any time. It's in Settings on the web too.
Ask Pocketbird answers from what you just logged, with figures from your data
Save an entry in the middle of a conversation — from the chat, another tab or a sync — and the next answer includes it, and a new day refreshes what it knows. Every amount in an answer is now printed by the app from your own data, and a figure it can't back up is hidden, with a note saying so. The suggestion chips answer at once with a card — the total for the period and the biggest category or shop in it — and a question the app understands by itself, like how much you've spent today, gets the same instant card. While it works it says what it's doing, such as Reading your data…, and it still runs on your device.
A calmer Home, where the bird and the colours mean something
The bird at the top of Home now wears the mood of your money — concerned when a budget is blown or you're running short, cheerful when things go well, asleep at night once today is logged — and the background takes on the same mood. Its speech bubble is the only voice in that card. Budget pace turns amber from 60 percent and red from 90 percent, Quick Log sits in a plain strip, and badges that meant nothing are gone. The streak card always ends on today — an open heart until you log something, a filled one after — with one line and a pose that agree, even just after midnight. The insight that you're spending less than last cycle now only appears when you really are, compared with the same point last cycle, not because a monthly bill hasn't been paid yet. Amounts across the app use a rounded face with even-width digits, and each day's largest entry is marked Largest.
Give a person or shop its own photo or logo
Any payee in People — a person or a shop — can carry a photo or logo you choose, shown wherever its circle appears, in the app and on the web, and you can replace or remove it at any time. Payees Pocketbird recognises as the same brand get a Merge into …? suggestion that opens the usual merge, and a shop's own page no longer repeats its name in every row's tags.
Shops: close the day on one screen, log a stock run at once, and see profit by the week
Close today's sales puts the day's cash and transfer sales, the market and any stall rent on one screen and saves them together, and saving the same day again edits it instead of adding more. After 21:00 on a usual selling day with nothing logged, it asks Close today's sales?. The market is its own field now, with sales by market and by weekday, and market names typed into the Item field can be moved across after a preview. Stock Purchase logs everything from one buying trip in one list, filling each item's last price, with Same as Last Time for a repeat run. The shop's overview leads with profit for the last 7 days, this month and the last 4 weeks, so a day you bought stock no longer reads as a loss, and best and slowest days go by sales. The app can also export the shop as CSV, load entries older than about six weeks, and show all-time totals for a person. On the web too.
Log shop sales and costs with no signal
With no connection, Sale and Cost still work in a shop you've opened on this phone: the entry is saved on the phone, shows Waiting to upload, counts in today's totals, and uploads by itself when you're back online — other members see it after that. An entry that can't upload stays on the phone for you to retry, fix or discard, and signing out warns you before it erases any. When entries from earlier upload late, the other members get one notification that you added entries from earlier, not one per entry. Offline logging is in the app; the web still needs a connection.
The what-if sliders on a goal stopped stalling
On a goal paid for with a reducing-rate loan — the usual home loan — the plan worked out the monthly payment afresh for every month it checked, up to 360 of them, on every step of a what-if slider, and a goal with a target month re-ran its two target-month answers on every step as well. With a target month on a long home loan that is still out of reach, one step could take a couple of seconds. The payment is now worked out once per plan and the target-month answers once each time your money changes, so the sliders keep up with your finger and the goal's page opens sooner. Every month and amount the planner gives is exactly what it was.
App Lock stopped saying Face ID on devices that don't have it
The App Lock switch read "Lock App with Face ID" on every device — an iPad that unlocks with Touch ID, or one with only a passcode, included. It now names what your device actually uses: Face ID, Touch ID, Optic ID or its passcode, the same method the unlock button offers when you come back to the app.
