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 #hashtag tags 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.
