What's new

• 📝 Local .xlsx file management: now by default all saved, deleted expenses, charts and lists are produced locally, under your control.
• 🌐 Sync with Google Sheet: you can synchronize the last expenses you entered in your local .xlsx directly to Google Sheets.
  • Automatic sync: a background task wakes up every few minutes (configurable) and sync new expenses (if there are any new ones) with your Google Sheets. You can enable or disable Google Sheets synchronization via the ⚙️ Settings command.
• All operations are now extremely faster because of the work being done locally. Google's API is very slow, so a batch synchronization of expenses is the best solution to ensure maximum responsiveness.
• ⚙️To improve readability and maintenance, the code was split into modules.
• 💰 Budgeting Feature: You can now set a budget for different expense categories and track your spending against these budgets.
  • Receive notifications when your spending exceeds the set budget for any category. You can enable or disable budget notifications via the ⚙️ Settings command.

Next step

• Initial decision screen between Google Sheets and save data locally in .csv format with ability to export and share (for those not planning to use gsheet)
• Improve the speed of execution for the elimination of an expense

• Income management
• Cash account
