Financy v0.13.0
Financy v0.13.0 — Debts, reworked 💳
The biggest module release since the budget: Debts grows beyond BNPL plans
into full debt tracking — loans with real interest math, credit cards,
and IOUs — with payoff projections and a strategy comparison to plan your way
out. Everything ships on desktop and mobile alike, and your existing
.financy files upgrade automatically (a .bak is written first, as always).
🏦 Every debt type
- Amortizing loans (mortgage, auto, student, personal) — enter the
principal, APR, and either the term or the payment; Financy computes the
other and generates the full amortization schedule. Every payment posts a
real principal-vs-interest split: principal draws the loan down,
interest lands in an expense category, and the loan's balance always equals
the remaining principal. Extra payments either shorten the term (the
default — saves the most interest) or lower the payment, with a live
preview of the payoff date and interest saved. - Revolving credit (credit cards, lines of credit) — attach the card
account you already track (its history stays yours) or create a new one,
with a credit limit, utilization bar, and a minimum-payment rule. Interest
is never auto-posted: once a month a statement review proposes an
editable charge for you to confirm, correct, or skip — your real statement
is ground truth. Card payments are budget-neutral transfers, so your
envelopes are never double-counted. - Informal debts (an IOU, money from a friend) — just a balance with an
optional due date; pay any amount anytime, and optionally record which
account the borrowed cash landed in so your books balance to the cent. - BNPL / installment plans work exactly as before.
📈 Payoff projections & strategies
- Every debt shows its payoff date and interest remaining under the
current plan — including the classic minimum-payment trap on a card, which
is reported honestly ("this never pays off") instead of pretending. - Snowball vs. avalanche: tell Financy what extra you can put toward
debts each month and compare both strategies side by side — payoff order,
debt-free date, and total interest, with the cheaper plan highlighted.
Every cleared debt's payment rolls into the next target automatically. - A debt overview dashboard sums it up: total owed, balance-weighted
average APR, what's due now, and your projected debt-free date.
✨ Easy to set up
- The add-debt form is type-driven and minimal: pick a kind and only its
essentials appear (a loan is just name + principal + APR + term), with a
live plan preview before you save. Everything optional folds into an
Advanced setup section with defaults that just work. - The desktop Debts screen is a compact table — kind, APR, balance,
progress, status — and clicking a row opens the debt's full detail in a
popup: schedule with pay/undo, extra payments, statement review, activity.
🔧 Fixed
- Deleting a debt no longer removes transactions of yours that were linked to
installments — they're restored to their original categories first.
