Release notes

May 27, 2026 – List currencies & foreign expense conversion (Release 1.0.7)

Currency per list: Groups keep a default currency for group overviews, but each list now has its own accounting currency. A travel group can, for example, have lists in CHF, EUR, or JPY.
Enter expenses in a foreign currency: When adding an expense, tap Convert to enter an original amount in another currency and have it converted into the list currency with full traceability.
Traceable conversion: The original amount, original currency, exchange rate, source, and timestamp are stored and included in exports.

Editing a list now opens as a full-screen dialog with an AppBar instead of a narrow popup.
A list’s profile image and background image are shown in a combined preview: the profile photo sits centred over the lower edge of the background image.
The currency picker focuses the search field immediately when opened.
Conversion and rate dialogs were stabilised so that keyboard and dialog transitions no longer cause lifecycle errors.

Amount-based split mode: In addition to Equal, Weights, and Percentages, expenses can now use Amount. Each member receives an exact currency amount.
Setup assistant: When creating a new group, you can start a guided setup to add members, create the first list, and optionally add the first expense.
Handbook, FAQ, and support inside the app: The navigation menu now links directly to the documentation on balancico.app in the selected app language.
Dynamic version display: The version shown under “About the app” is read directly from the app package.

With multiple payers, the total amount in amount mode is calculated automatically from the payer amounts.
In amount-based cost splitting, individual shares must add up exactly to the total amount; the app clearly shows any difference.
Error messages in the “Join group” dialog are now shown completely.
Group name validation during creation has been improved.

One expense can now have multiple paying people.
Payers can be split by amount or percentage/ratio values.
Balances, member details, statistics, and exports correctly include partial payer amounts.
Settlement payments remain deliberately simple: one paying member and one receiving member.

New expenses can use the group’s default cost split.
Supported modes: Equal, Weights, and Percentages.
Default values can be stored per member.
The split can be overridden per expense.
Percentages do not have to add up to exactly 100%; balancico normalizes proportionally and calculates to cent precision.

Groups can be merged with currency checks.
For different currencies, the app guides you through target currency, exchange rate, and conversion.
Member details show expenses and settlement payments more clearly for each relevant list.
