Changelog
What we’ve shipped.
Dated, in plain language, newest first. If something you asked for is on this list, thanks — that’s usually how it got here.
-
v1.5.1 — work week, assumed bank income, and required updates
Plan your week with planned shifts. Incoming bank deposits count as income so safe-to-spend matches money in. Older app versions can be asked to update once a new build is live.
-
Real pricing, a team page, and comparison pages on the website
You can now see exactly what TendLife costs (nothing, today) and what Premium will cost when it lands, on a pricing page instead of buried in an FAQ. Added who we are, and honest side-by-sides against the other tip trackers.
-
Cookie consent buttons actually work now
The Accept and Decline buttons on the cookie banner did nothing. They do now.
-
New tendlife.ai
Rebuilt the site around real screenshots and real numbers instead of stock art, so you can see what the app looks like before you download it.
-
v1.4 — bank transaction sync, spending categories, and Coach actions
Connect an account read-only and transactions come in already sorted into housing, food, transit and the rest — with cash tips folded in so they aren’t invisible. The Money Coach can now log income or add a bill in one tap without leaving the chat.
-
v1.3 — safe-to-spend follows your pay period
Budgets used to reset on the first of the month, which is useless if you’re paid weekly or biweekly. Now safe-to-spend runs on your actual pay period. Also added post-shift and morning check-ins you can switch off in Notification Settings.
-
v1.2 — the Money Coach reads your real numbers
Ask “can I afford to go out tonight” and the answer comes from your logged income and upcoming bills, not a generic script. Suggested actions appear as chips you can tap.
-
Two rounds of fixes from people using it on shift
Dozens of small changes to logging, navigation, and empty states based on watching people use the app after close.
-
Support pages and crash-report fixes
Added a real support page and fixed the crash reporting so we actually find out when something breaks on your phone.
-
iPhone-only, and the Coach says when it’s guessing
Focused on iPhone rather than shipping a half-finished iPad layout. The Money Coach now tells you when it doesn’t have enough history to answer instead of making a number up.
-
Everything free, and the waitlist gate is gone
Removed the subscription tier and every premium-only lock, and stopped making people wait for an invite code. Sign up and the whole app opens. Also fixed the savings goal progress ring, which wasn’t updating live.
-
Machine-readable site for AI assistants
Published llms.txt and structured data so ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can answer questions about TendLife correctly instead of guessing.
-
Month-to-month budgets with a monthly report
Added budget carry-over between months and an end-of-month summary of what came in and where it went.
See tonight’s shift in it.
Log what you walked with and get a safe-to-spend number that already knows about rent.
