🧠 Zerosum v1.6.1 — Smarter Payees, Smoother Imports

This release is all about making transaction cleanup faster. Payees now remember more useful behavior, imports learn from your corrections, Manage Payees is much easier to use, mobile gets smarter suggestions, and a few important reliability fixes landed for backups, bank sync, and app loading.

🏷️ Smarter Payees

• Manage Payees has been redesigned. Each payee now has clearer tabs for category behavior, import rules, and saved nearby locations.

• Choose how each payee handles categories. Use the most recent category, always use a fixed category, or leave the category blank for mixed-use payees like Amazon or Walmart.

• Remember up to five categories per payee. Zerosum keeps the most-used recent categories handy and promotes the latest one automatically.

• Smart Cleanup is easier to review. Noisy bank-style payees are grouped with the clean payee they likely belong to, so duplicate cleanup is less of a hunt.

• Import rules show more context. Rules now show hit counts, last-seen dates, and whether they were manual, learned, or migrated.

🌱 Imports That Learn From You

• Zerosum now learns payee mappings during review. If your bank sends a raw name like PETROL STATION 321 and you change it to Shell, Zerosum can remember that for next time.

• Raw bank names no longer clutter your payee list. If an import does not match a payee, the raw name stays visible during review without creating a junk payee.

• Import rules are safer. Very short “contains” patterns are blocked so broad fragments do not accidentally hijack unrelated transactions.

• Category behavior applies to imports too. When an import resolves to a payee, that payee’s fixed/recent/off category setting is respected.

📍 Nearby Payee Suggestions on Mobile

• Optional nearby payees. On mobile, Zerosum can suggest payees you have used near your current location while adding a transaction.

• Off by default. You turn it on from Settings, and your browser asks for location permission.

• Private to you. Saved locations belong to your user account, even in shared budgets.

• Easy cleanup. Forget saved locations from Settings or from a payee’s Locations tab.

📱 Mobile Budget Activity

• Category activity is now available on mobile. Open a category’s details and drill into its activity without switching to desktop.

• Credit-card payment activity works too. Payment categories keep the same dedicated breakdown behavior on mobile.

• Same transaction logic as desktop. Split activity, credit-card activity, and future-date handling now line up across both layouts.

📅 Start Week on Sunday or Monday

• Choose your week start. Settings now lets you start weeks on Sunday or Monday.

• Calendar views follow your preference. The budget calendar, mobile mini-calendar, mobile timeline week dividers, and date pickers all respect the setting.

• Weekend shading still stays true. Saturday and Sunday remain weekend days no matter which day starts the week.

🛠️ Fixes & Polish

• Large budget restores and duplicates are more reliable. Big backup restore and budget copy jobs are much less likely to time out.

• App assets cache better. Returning to the app should feel faster while still keeping stale-bundle recovery intact.
