Section titled “New features”Your Venmo and Zelle Payments, Sorted (KAN-2313)
🌐 Web🍎 iOS🤖 AndroidCategorization & AITransactions & Register
Money you send to friends and family through Venmo, Zelle, Cash App or PayPal now lands in its own Personal Payments category instead of sitting uncategorized forever. It counts toward your spending, because that money really did leave your account. Payments to actual businesses stay where they belong — we look for a real person on the other end before filing anything.Header controls no longer overlap on phones, and the transaction list’s hidden menu becomes visible buttons (KAN-2370)
📱 iOS & AndroidTransactions & RegisterBudgeting
On phones, an account with a long name used to spill its title across the buttons at the top of the screen, and the Budget screen's title, help button and month picker all printed on top of each other. Long names now shorten neatly and every control has its own space, with the month picker moved to its own row just below the title so it is easy to reach. The transaction list also loses its hidden "more" menu: Search and Reconcile are now buttons you can see at the top of the screen, and setting up a repeating payment is a simple Transaction or Scheduled choice at the top of the Add screen. Everything the old menu did is still there — the bank's own transaction wording is a switch in Filters, and account details are edited from the Accounts tab.The help assistant knows what’s new — and telling us what it’s missing takes one tap (KAN-2388)
🌐 WebNotifications & E-Mail
Ask the in-app assistant what's new and it will actually tell you — it now knows what shipped in the last three releases, so "has anything changed recently?" finally gets a real answer instead of a shrug. And when you ask it something the help pages don't cover, "Report this gap" now does exactly that in a single tap: no form to fill in, no follow-up questions, just a thank-you and the ticket number.No Duplicate Transfers After a Reconnect (KAN-2214)
🌐 Web🍎 iOS🤖 AndroidAccounts & BalancesTransactions & RegisterData Sync
When your bank asked you to reconnect an account, a transfer you already had could quietly come back as a second copy, throwing off both your balance and your spending totals. We tracked that one down: a reconnect now recognizes a transfer it has seen before and updates the one you already have instead of adding a duplicate.No More Double-Counted Bill Payments (KAN-2298)
🌐 Web📱 iOS & AndroidBills & ReoccuringReports & Insights
When your bank placed a hold on a bill payment a few days before its due date, we didn't connect the two — so the bill still looked unpaid and the same money came out of your projected balance twice. No, you weren't seeing double: that early hold now shows up on the scheduled bill as a pending payment, and it only counts against your balance once.The search snippet now reads like the rest of the site (KAN-2364)
🌐 WebBilling & Subscriptions
One line of the Monarch comparison page still read like a product manual, and it happened to be the line Google shows in search results. It has been rewritten to match the rest of the site. The check that was supposed to catch this only looked at the body of the page and skipped the search summary, so it now reads both.Investment balances now appear right after you connect an account (KAN-2365)
🌐 Web📱 iOS & AndroidAccounts & BalancesData Sync
When you connected an investment or retirement account, its balance could take up to four hours to appear. Until it did, the account showed a dash with nothing to explain the delay, which made it look as though the connection had failed. Whether you waited seconds or hours came down to chance. Tovari now asks your provider for the balance the moment you finish connecting, so the value typically appears within seconds. If your provider needs a little longer to prepare the data, Tovari keeps checking on its own and fills it in as soon as it is ready.Investment balances now stay current on the web app (KAN-2366)
🌐 WebAccounts & Balances
On the web app, an investment or retirement account could keep showing an out-of-date balance, or none at all, even though the same account showed the correct value on your phone. Refreshing the page did not help, because the web app was reusing a saved copy of your account list. The only things that worked were closing the tab entirely or signing out and back in. Tovari now notices when an account's value is one your bank updates on its own, and refreshes it — including when you switch back to the tab. Accounts that only change when you record something still load instantly from the saved copy, so everyday screens are as fast as before.Dashboard Loads Right Up After Policy Updates (KAN-2393)
🌐 WebAccount & Security
When we asked you to review updated policies, your dashboard sometimes got stuck showing “Couldn’t load” messages even after you’d already accepted them. That’s fixed now — accept the update and everything loads right back up on its own, no extra taps needed.Improvements
Section titled “Improvements”The Help Assistant, Explained (KAN-2138)
🌐 Web
The help assistant now has its own guide: what it can answer, what it can't, and why it will never see your balances. You can also just ask the assistant about itself — and when a Tovari question isn't covered yet, it offers to pass that gap along so we can write it up.Your Net Worth Always Adds Up (KAN-2230)
🌐 WebReports & Insights
Your net worth now always matches the balances on your accounts, right down to the penny. Before, if money moved while the report was loading, the total could come out slightly off — we found that gap and closed it.A website that explains itself to people who have not heard of us yet (KAN-2357)
🌐 WebBilling & Subscriptions
Tovari's website now explains itself to people who have never heard of us. Every page has been retitled to say what it actually offers instead of just repeating the company name, and five new comparison pages lay out how Tovari stacks up against YNAB, Monarch, Copilot and Rocket Money — including, on each one, the things those apps genuinely do better than we do. There is also a page for anyone still hunting for a replacement since Mint closed down. Search engines can now read our price and product details directly from the pages, so a result can show more than a plain blue link. None of this changes anything inside the app itself.A front door for the comparisons, in the site’s own voice (KAN-2363)
🌐 WebBilling & Subscriptions
The comparison write-ups now have a home you can actually find. A new Compare page gathers all five in one place, with a link to it in the footer of every page, where before you had to scroll most of the way down the pricing page to discover they existed. The writing has been reworked too, so it sounds like the rest of the site instead of a product manual, and the punctuation now matches everywhere. None of the comparisons themselves changed — same prices, same findings, same honest notes about what each competitor does better than we do.A Cleaner Investment Header (KAN-2368)
🌐 WebAccounts & Balances
The header on an investment account no longer repeats the date its value was last checked. That date was already sitting right underneath it, at the top of the history list, so we took the duplicate out and gave the balance more room to breathe.
