Release notes

Font size preference (Desktop, iOS, Android)

Caffeinated Checkbook now follows your system font size by default, and Settings adds a Font size option (Small, Default, Medium, Large, Extra Large) for when you want to nudge it up or down without changing anything system-wide.

Register columns you can shape (Desktop)

The account register now lets you drag column dividers to set the widths you want, click a column heading to sort by it (with an up or down arrowhead showing the direction), and right-click any heading to show or hide individual columns. The same menu has a Reset register layout option that returns everything to the defaults.

Easier category management (Desktop)

The Categories screen adds a search box at the top, click-to-sort column headings, and an Add Subcategory option in the right-click menu so you no longer have to guess that selecting a parent first makes a new entry nest under it. The tree remembers which categories you had expanded when it refreshes after a sync. The New Category and Edit Category dialogs now include fields for Type (Income or Expense) and a tax code, instead of only the name.

Split transactions (Desktop)

The desktop app can now split a single transaction across multiple categories, each with its own amount and memo, matching what the mobile app already does. Open the New Transaction dialog (or right-click a row in the register and choose Edit in Dialog…) and click Split… next to Category. The register shows split rows as “—Split—” in the Category column so they read at a glance.

Transaction Details (Desktop)

A new Show Details… entry in the register’s right-click menu opens a read-only view of any transaction: every field, the full split breakdown, and when the entry was first created and last modified. From the same dialog you can edit, mark cleared/uncleared, or delete. Keyboard shortcut is ⌘I on macOS, Alt+Enter on Windows and Linux. (To make room for Get Info on macOS, Insert New has moved from ⌘I to ⌘⇧I; Windows/Linux still use Ctrl+I.)

Import improvements (Desktop)

The Import screen now lets you resize the window to see more preview rows at once, instead of capping the preview at four. The result panel after an import is selectable so you can copy any error messages, and the Date format picker has an Auto-detect option that handles mixed-padding dates like 3/05/2026 without needing a manual choice.
