Squirrel 0.7.2

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Squirrel 0.7.2 has been released tonight. I’ve got a huge list of features to add before 0.8, and here are the first of them: 

- Set new criteria on reports just like on smart folders: exclude categories, tags… This one has been requested several times in the forums. My original idea was to let you choose a smart folder to generate one report from, but I’ve finally chosen to implement the same predicate editor as in budgets and smart folders. This adds a lot of possibilities for your reports!

- When you validate an autocompleted transaction’s description, Squirrel now autocompletes the amount, category and tags. This feature was also suggested some time ago. I’m using it a lot now and it is a real time saver. I couldn’t keep it for myself!

- Added an option to sort reports and budgets. I’ve just extended this feature that appeared with scheduled transacitons to reports and folders.

There are also some bugs that have been fixed. There is no known issue, so please if you still have bugs after this update, send me an email.

The next mile stone is Squirrel 0.8. I’ve got exciting features on the list: multiple currencies support (needs to implement a validation system so you cannot create reports, smart folders or budgets that mix transaction of different currencies), smart import rules, direct import from the web browser… Some of those features might be released before.

Finally, I’ve decided that the final price of Squirrel would be €30, that’s about $40. And I wanted to let you know that the price of Squirrel will rise with Squirrel 0.8 to €22 ;)

Squirrel for iPhone preview

Squirrel 0.7 brought iPhone synchronization support and many of you are wondering what the iPhone application will look like. It will allow you edit your accounts, transactions and categories, check your budgets before buying something, and will sync over the wifi network with the Macintosh application.

Here is the first video of our Squirrel screencasts, quickly showing the iPhone application. More screencasts will be published soon to see how to quickly get started with Squirrel and use some of its advanced features.

Squirrel for iPhone will be available for free on January 6, but the synchronization will only work for registered users.
