Zerosum v1.4.7 — Import from Actual Budget ✨
Hot on the heels of the tags release, you can now bring your full history over from Actual Budget — accounts, categories, splits, transfers, monthly assignments, and #hashtag tags. Plus YNAB flags now land as tags, and the resizable panels remember your width properly.
✨ What's new
📥 Import from Actual Budget
Drop in your Actual export (ZIP) and ZeroSum rebuilds your budget end-to-end:
-
Accounts — budget, tracking, and closed accounts
-
Categories + groups (income group skipped automatically)
-
Regular transactions + proper split transactions (parent with split children)
-
Transfers between accounts
-
Monthly assignments — your category budgets per month
-
"Buffered" → "For Next Month" — Actual's buffered amounts map cleanly onto ZeroSum's FNM system, enabled automatically if any buffer exists
-
Payees and
#hashtagtags pulled from note text -
Starting balances correctly summed per account (including reconciliation adjustments)
Everything is parsed entirely in your browser — no raw export data touches our servers until you confirm the import. The 4-step wizard lets you review accounts, categories, and a summary before committing.
📖 Full export instructions in the Importing from Actual help
article.
🏷️ YNAB flags → Tags
Your YNAB flag colors (green / blue / purple / yellow / orange / red) now import as ZeroSum tags with matching names. Re-import your YNAB export to pick them up.
🐛 Fixes
- Side panels remember your width after a refresh. Previously: if you collapsed the left sidebar or right budget side panel, refreshed the page, then expanded — it would open at the minimum width instead of the size you had set. Now it restores to your chosen width.
