Lago: Expense Tracker
Expense, Money & Savings App

• Use Apple Devices Sync through iCloud for supported Apple devices
• Enable optional All Devices Sync to keep your Lago data aligned across supported iPhone, iPad, and Android devices
All Devices Sync requires a Lago account and securely stores your synchronized data using Google Firebase services. You can manage your synchronization preference from Lago’s settings.

more Lago 2.5 is the biggest update yet: your ledger now stays live across every device you use — including Android — plus a full Insights screen and an app that is markedly faster everywhere.
SYNC ACROSS EVERYTHING
• Sign in with Apple or Google and keep your ledger in step on every device, Android included. Pick All Devices Sync or iCloud Device Sync in Settings → Real-Time Sync.
• A manual sync counts the records it is sending before it starts, so the progress you see is real — on an in-app status pill and a Live Activity.
• Your name and streak travel with you. A device switched off for a week can no longer overwrite a longer streak earned elsewhere.
• Pull down on the Dashboard to sync on demand.
• Reset Cloud Data, and permanently delete your Lago account, from Settings → Real-Time Sync.
INSIGHTS, IN FULL
• Tap See All on the dashboard's Smart Insights for a screen spanning 1, 3, 6 or 12 months: income, expense, net and savings rate, an income-vs-expense chart, where your money went and came from with budget comparisons, and the five categories that moved most since last month.
UPCOMING BILLS
• Credit card and Buy Now Pay Later bills now sit alongside scheduled transactions and loan installments in the next-30-days timeline, each anchored to the cycle you are actually in, with the statement date and amount owed. Overdue bills stay in front instead of skipping to next month's.
• Credit-card installment purchases lay out every month of their plan, with interest spread across the term rather than landing entirely in the first month.
FASTER EVERYWHERE
• Tabs open instantly. Each tab is kept ready once opened, so switching back is immediate — no placeholder, and the tab indicator no longer stalls part-way.
• A four-card Deck, with Show All Cards in Settings → View Options. The Deck browses and pages without dropping frames, and swipes follow your finger.
ALSO NEW
• Choose your Smart Input engine: the on-device model or Gemini.
• Receipt scanning keeps individual line items, and no longer counts service charge, gratuity or delivery fees as things you bought.
FIXED
• Duplicate transactions left behind by a sync are merged, so totals stop counting them twice.
• Syncing no longer freezes the app or gets it shut down by iOS. It runs clear of the main thread, re-reads only what changed, and stops looping.
• Pull-to-refresh can no longer spin forever on a stale session.
• Empty notifications are filtered out, and automatic-post and interest notices no longer appear twice across devices.
• The achievements tally no longer reads "35 of 33" after unlocking a secret medal.
2.5 10 Sept
Lago 2.4 makes it easier to understand your money and keep your ledger in sync across devices.
• Explore expanded Insights across 1, 3, 6, or 12 months, including spending trends, category breakdowns, budgets, savings rate, and your biggest changes.
• Keep your data aligned across iPhone, iPad, and Android with optional All Devices Sync. Apple Devices Sync through iCloud remains available for Apple-only setups.
• Follow sync progress directly in the app, Dynamic Island, and Live Activities. You can also pull down on the Dashboard to sync on demand.
• Your profile name, activity, and streak now follow you across supported devices.
• Safer first-time sync helps prevent duplicate ledgers and categories by asking before replacing existing local data.
• Enjoy a smoother, faster Account Deck, along with fixes for installment interest, stalled sync, progress indicators, and achievement totals.
Optional Apple Intelligence features remain available on supported devices. Lago’s charts, totals, and standard insights continue to work without them.
2.4 25 Aug
Credit-card installments got a lot better this release.
NEW
• See what an installment actually costs each month. Split a
purchase over 3 months and Lago now shows the monthly amount
as you set it up — plus how far it has posted and what's due
next when you open it later.
• Reminders are explained before we ask. A new onboarding page
covers what Lago uses notifications for — recurring bills,
upcoming card payments, budgets nearing their limit — so you
can decide with the full picture.
FIXED
• Installment interest is now spread across the months. It used
to be charged entirely in the first cycle, making month one
look far more expensive than it really was. Existing
installments are corrected automatically.
• iCloud sync no longer stalls on installments. Saving one could
pause Device Sync and leave it paused. Anything that was stuck
waiting now uploads on its own.
• Progress rings actually move. The indicator shown during
backups, imports, restores and Nearby Transfer sat frozen on
the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and on your Mac.
• Statement and due dates are right on the day a statement
closes. Cards briefly showed next month's statement — and
pushed the payment due date a month out with it.
• No more "Payment Overdue" on cards you've already paid. Paying
on time, or early, didn't register as paying at all, so a
settled card kept nagging into the next cycle.
• Budget carries over the moment a new month opens, instead of
sitting empty until you visited the previous month first.
• PRO trial reminders you can count on. The "2 days before your
trial ends" nudge now arrives however you started your trial.
• Notification permission is no longer requested at launch,
before anything has been explained.
• Getting back to Budget from Savings Goals is a single button
now, not a menu.
2.2.3 6 Aug
See where your money goes at a glance, and enjoy a snappier app.
• Category radar chart — Your Dashboard's expense and income breakdowns now open with an at-a-glance chart of your category mix for the month.
• Savings cash flow — The Budget tab's Savings card now plots your income against your expenses side by side, so you can see exactly how much you're keeping each month.
• Smarter budget categories — Loan and credit card payments no longer skew your spending categories. Choose whether unbudgeted categories show up too, in Settings.
• Per-ledger savings goals — Set a different monthly savings target for each of your ledgers.
• Faster, smoother app — Every tab now loads instantly with a polished animation, and switching between tabs feels smoother than ever.
• Small fixes — including always having a clear way back to Budget from Savings Goals.
Thanks for using Lago!
2.2.2 24 Jul
- Early and partial loan payments now correctly reduce the next scheduled installment.
- Choose whether a loan payment applies to the next installment or directly to the remaining principal.
- Loan schedules now show partial payment coverage, repayment progress, remaining payable, and the original payable amount.
- Improved loan repayment syncing, backup compatibility, and overall reliability.
2.2.1 23 Jul
Lago 2.2 is a big visual and quality update.
• Space Grotesk everywhere. A fresh, consistent typeface across every screen, sheet, menu, and form — with balances that always render in the right weight.
• A Wallet-style Account Deck. Your accounts fan out as real, correctly proportioned cards. Tap one to raise it and reveal recent transactions; pull a card down to peek at the one beneath; swipe up to gather the fan. Cards keep their balance, credit cards show what's owed, and with the deck closed you'll see recent activity across a whole account type — all in matching income and expense colors.
• Smarter cards. Enter a card's last four digits, or its full number for automatic network detection (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, JCB, UnionPay, Diners). Only the last four and the network name are ever saved. Cards can show that network mark and pick from refreshed neon, geometric, metallic, and woven art.
• Apple Watch, upgraded. Your account cards now show the same bank-card art, curated designs, and network marks on your wrist.
• Lock Screen widgets. Upcoming Bills, Ledger Balance, and a circular Budget Gauge — placeable right on your Lock Screen, including the bottom slot on iOS 26.
• Fixes & polish. Budget widgets now match the Budget tab exactly (correct ledger, refunds included, no duplicate budgets), the credit-utilization bar matches the rest of the app, and the Account Deck now stays smooth while you swipe.
2.2 21 Jul
• Live progress at a glance
Follow Device Sync, backups, restores, data imports, and Nearby Transfer from the Dynamic Island or Lock Screen. Lago also helps you find the Live Activities setting when it is disabled.
• Review recurring transactions safely
Tap a recurring transaction to review its details before editing. The cleaner summary avoids repeating the category, while the pencil button provides access to editing.
• Recognize accounts more easily
Transaction and recurring-transaction details now display bank or custom account symbols, including both From and To accounts for transfers.
• More reliable Device Sync
Fixed a CloudKit relationship that could prevent syncing from starting. Device Sync now reports its actual status and clearly identifies errors or local-storage fallback.
2.1.20 15 Jul
Faster transaction review, and a whole new look for your Home Screen widgets.
• Tap any transaction to see a clean summary instantly — merchant, amount, category, account, and date, all before you touch a single field. Scanned receipts open full-screen with pinch-to-zoom, and transfers and subscriptions now show their real bank or brand logo instead of a generic icon.
• Home Screen widgets got a full redesign: clearer numbers, softer colors, and a brand-new compact Balance widget for your net worth and this month's change at a glance. Budget, Cash Flow, and Trends widgets are easier to read too.
Thanks for using Lago! As always, we'd love to hear your feedback.
2.1.9 14 Jul
Lago 2.1.8 makes capturing, sharing, and managing your finances even easier.
• Scan receipts into editable line items with names, quantities, and prices. Apple’s document scanner automatically detects and crops receipts, while improved fallback processing captures readable items even when AI parsing is unavailable.
• Send an account or an entire ledger directly to another device with Nearby Transfer—free, private, and over a local connection.
• Add a receive-money QR code to an account, then flip the account card to quickly show or enlarge it.
• Add free-trial periods to recurring transactions, including 7 days, 14 days, one month, or a custom date.
• Enable daily overdue reminders for recurring bills, loan installments, and payment due dates.
• Export or import a single account without replacing your other data.
• See account, transaction, and recurring-item totals when switching ledgers.
• Enjoy improved MariBank credit-card support and account-specific cashback presets.
This update also improves the PRO experience, refreshes newer edits when re-sending data, prevents paid bills from continuing to appear overdue, and fixes a Nearby Transfer issue that could leave a second transfer stuck.
2.1.8 13 Jul
This update adds smarter Savings Goals, clearer notifications, and more polish across Lago.
• Savings Goals can now warn you when linked account funds are running low, depleted, or recovered
• New Savings Goal reminders help you track progress and upcoming deadlines
• Linked Accounts now show a donut view with clearer allocation and unallocated amounts
• Savings Goal progress bars are cleaner and easier to read
• Account Details can now share a polished image of your account card
• Notifications now explain what triggered them when tapped
• Budget and Savings categories with activity now show their totals more clearly
• Several visual fixes improve account sharing, Savings Goal cards, and notification badges
2.1.7 8 Jul
This update brings faster entry, smarter scanning, better sync, and a lot of polish.
- Quick amount chips now work for lending, borrowing, receiving payments, and loan payments
- Receipt scanning is more accurate, choosing the real total and matching the card used

2.1.6 6 Jul
This update includes bug fixes and performance improvements to make Lago more reliable. Thanks for using the app!
2.1.5 4 Jul
Savings Goals get a redesign — bigger two-column cards, a bolder progress ring, and goal-color tinting.
• Reserve a full account balance: leave the amount blank when linking an account to a Savings Goal to commit its entire balance.
• Budget, Dashboard, and Savings Goal progress rings now share the same bolder, rounded-cap style.
• Recurring bill, auto-post, and loan reminders in Notifications now show the actual subscription or bank icon instead of a generic symbol.
• Advance reminders (7/5/3/1-day) for recurring bills and loans now reliably appear in your Notifications page, plus a duplicate-alert fix.
• "Post Now" always shows a confirmation before posting — even fixed-amount bills — so you can review the amount and attach a receipt.
• Smaller polish: the "full balance" quick-amount chip now reads MAX, and the post-confirmation image is bigger.
2.1.4 1 Jul
- New Savings Goals in the Budget tab: reserve funds from selected accounts, track progress, deadlines, notes, icons, colors, and see spendable balance after allocations.
- Upcoming reminders for recurring transactions and loan payments: choose alerts 7, 5, 3, 1, or 0 days before they’re due.
- Installment interest for credit-card purchases: store a monthly rate or total interest, with linked Bank Fees entries kept in sync.
- New Earn Rewards toggle for individual expenses on rewards-enabled accounts.
- Quick-amount chips make transaction entry faster with ₱100, ₱500, ₱1,000, and 100% shortcuts.
- Visual polish for Savings Goals, recurring timelines, budget toolbar actions, and transaction editing.
2.1.3 1 Jul
Earn it back. Track it all.
• Rewards & Cashback — Automatically track points, miles, or cashback on any card or account. Balances grow as you spend, with popular PH banks pre-filled — then redeem whenever you're ready.
• Smarter credit cards — See your Available Credit, Outstanding Balance, and a usage bar at a glance, and pay down your card right from its screen with the new Pay Balance button.
• New Payment category — Card and loan payments now get their own tag, so they stay out of your spending totals.
• Bigger logo library — Many more banks, e-wallets, and card issuers to pick from.
• Account Reports & Statistics — Richer per-account insights: expense ratio, daily average, spending patterns, and category breakdowns.
• Plus polish and fixes throughout.
