Recurring leaves Beta: this week's charges, the moment you open Synx

v0.1.12

πŸ” Recurring graduates from Beta. A new dashboard tile shows what's about to leave your account in the next 7 days, and the detection behind it got noticeably sharper.

  • Recurring is out of Beta: the page that finds your subscriptions and regular bills on its own is now a full, finished part of Synx, with a new dashboard tile and sharper detection.

Why it matters: You shouldn't have to go looking to find out what's about to hit your account. Now the moment you open Synx, this week's recurring charges are right there: how much, when, and what for.

What's new

  • This week's charges, right on your dashboard: A new Upcoming Recurring Charges tile shows the total about to leave your account over the next 7 days, with the next few charges listed underneath: who, how much, and when. Anything due Today or Tomorrow gets a small amber dot so the close ones stand out.
  • An honest "expected" label: Charges Synx has confirmed just show their date. Ones it's fairly sure about but you haven't confirmed yet are marked expected, so a good guess never reads as a sure thing.
  • Two more rhythms it can spot: Synx now recognizes bills that land every 2 months and every 6 months (think some utilities and insurance premiums) on top of weekly, every two weeks, monthly, quarterly, and yearly.
  • Reduced false positive on our recurring detection: The detection got stricter. It used to occasionally mistake an irregular shopping streak for a subscription. Now it only flags something as recurring when the real gaps between charges actually line up with a regular schedule.
  • The recurring label cleans up after itself: When a subscription lapses, or you archive or dismiss one, the recurring label now comes off those past charges. The tag only marks things that are still an active recurring series, so you won't see it lingering on a one-off or a service you cancelled months ago.

Good to know

  • Three charges before we're confident: As before, Synx waits for a third matching charge before it locks in a pattern, so the dashboard tile never shows a one-off purchase as a subscription.
  • Expenses only: We look at money going out, not transfers between your own accounts, income, or refunds.
  • One row per merchant: If something charges you twice in the same week, the dashboard tile shows its next charge once. Open the Recurring page to see every individual date.
