Introducing Beacon Budget (formerly DAS Budget)

Beacon Budget Rebrand 🎉

DAS Budget is now Beacon Budget! Same app, same data, but with a fresh new look and name.

What’s changed:

New app name and dark green icon
Updated splash screens and in-app references
Updated support and contact information

What’s New ✨

New Onboarding Flow 📱

We’ve introduced a multi-step onboarding experience for new users. Don't worry about finishing it in one go—your progress is saved between app launches.

Fixed Contributions 🪙

Need to save for something specific? We added a new contribution type for expenses and goals that evenly distributes a bucket target across your funding periods.

Silent Sync Improvements 🔄

Stay up to date without lifting a finger. Beacon Budget can now refresh transaction data automatically in the background when connected accounts update.

MX Web Support 🌐

For those who prefer a keyboard and mouse, MX accounts can now be connected and updated directly from our web app.

Improvements ⚡

Improved how we handle MX connections for a more stable experience

Fixes 🛠

Pending transactions no longer stick around after the posted transactions arrive
If you try to allocate more than your Free-to-Spend allows, you’ll see a clear validation dialog explaining why.
Fixed recurring funding estimates for interval schedules (like "every 4 weeks")
Refresh buttons no longer get stuck after being tapped multiple times
Squashed several sync and reliability edge cases

Thanks again to everyone providing feedback and helping shape Beacon Budget 🚀
