Updated August 23, 2026

01 / August 23, 2026

Google Drive Backup Comes to the Web

  1. 01No Longer Android-Only: Automatic Google Drive backup now works in the web app as well, the same way it already does on Android.
  2. 02Stays Current on Its Own: Ledger checks for changes as you use the app and backs up in the background, so there is no manual step to remember.
  3. 03Same Private Storage: Backups still go only to a private, app-only area of your own Google Drive, never to Pludo AI's servers, and remain opt-in and off by default.
  4. 04Restore on Any Device: Sign in with the same Google account, Android or web, and Ledger offers to restore your most recent backup.

02 / August 22, 2026

Themes, Custom Reminders, and Smarter Alerts

  1. 01Multi-Theme Support: Choose Light, Dark, or Emerald themes, with a dedicated OLED (true black) mode for AMOLED screens.
  2. 02Custom Month Start Day: Anchor your spending month to any date, so budgets and reports follow your own cycle, such as a salary date, instead of the calendar.
  3. 03Customizable Daily Reminders: Set one or more daily reminder times with the new 12-hour time picker. Reminders now persist reliably across app restarts.
  4. 04Dashboard Alert Banner: Budget and overdraft alerts now surface right on your dashboard, with progressive snooze when you need quiet.
  5. 05Redesigned Settings: Unified, cleaner layouts across all settings sections.
  6. 06Fixes and Polish: Daily check-in now shows income correctly on income-only days, and the AI chat panel feels smoother when the Android keyboard opens.

03 / August 21, 2026

Automatic Google Drive Backup (Android)

  1. 01Automatic Backup: Turn on Google Drive backup in Settings and Ledger keeps your records safely backed up in the background, once a day, to a private area of your own Google Drive. Opt-in, off by default, and never visible in your regular Drive files.
  2. 02Restore on a New Device: Sign in on a new Android device with the same Google account and Ledger offers to restore your data automatically.
  3. 03Choose Which Backup to Restore: Ledger keeps your last several backups instead of just one, and lets you pick which to restore, recommending the safest one if a recent backup looks empty or unusually small.
  4. 04Ledger Tour Remembered: Once you finish or skip the Ledger product tour, it will not show again on a new device or after reinstalling.
