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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Cookie consent buttons actually work now

    The Accept and Decline buttons on the cookie banner did nothing. They do now.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.
