        planned  ·  MikeAdminMike (Developer, LittleFin) responded

        Been a long time since I updated this one, so I wanted to explain where we’re at—definitely still have this planned.

        It’s going to take a bit of work still on my part to completely understand iPhone development well enough to make a quality app. A challenge will be proper syncing.

        In any case, I am planning to release one or two simpler iPhone apps before a Chronicle app, simply to learn the platform.

        I am sold on iPhone/iPad, it’s my limitations keeping this from coming sooner. I appreciate everyone’s votes on this, and I can’t wait until an iPhone app for Chronicle is a reality!

      • Add password protection

        Would be nice to add password protection to open the app.

          The update to Chronicle 4.0 took longer than expected, and this didn’t make it in. However, it is coming to Chronicle 4.1

        • create an automated payment logged option

          I'd like to keep track of total bills paid, but as some of my bills are set up for automated payment, it would be nice to not have to manually log those payments in every month

            Chronicle 4.0 has been submitted to App Store. Once approved, it will be released for the web at the same time. It includes the “Automatic Payment Logging” option (turned off by default, but can be turned on in preferences).

            • Create an iPad app

              Great for doing bills on. And a little more flexibility compared to iPhone app only.

                • Payment Scheduled Checkbox

                  Paying most of my bills on-line, I can't always remember if I've gone to the site and set up the payment for this month so a checkbox or some way of indicating that a bill payment has been scheduled would be great.

                    Thanks for the additional feedback on this. I understand exactly what you mean now. I will consider the best way to implement a way to handle this in Chronicle 4. Thanks again!

                  • Attach PDF's to a bill

                    Quite a few bill come now as a PDF, it would be good to attach it to the bill. Once paid, usually online, I can print to PDF and attach that as well.

                      I see what you mean—not just the bill receipts, but an actual PDF of the bill. I’ll think about this.

                      • add in a monthly summary for all the bills

                        I would like to see how much I am spending on a monthly basis on all the bills, in addition to seeing the amount for an individual bill.

                          In Chronicle 4.0, you can scroll through the months and see the total amount paid each month for all your bills. Chronicle 4.0 has been submitted to the App Store, and will be released on the web as soon as approved there.

                        • Variable Income

                          I like the added income feature but I get paid a variable amount every two weeks so having a "paycheck" in the bills section helps me see where I get paid in relation to my upcoming bills. It would be great if instead of entering a value into income I could create a "paycheck" to act just like a bill only be a positive value. I guess to simplify, I would like to have an "add income" button that acts exactly like a bill, only reflects an increase to the new income feature instead of a deduction.

                          • Multiple reminders for ical. I like to set more than 1 reminder for a bill.

                            I usually set a reminder for 5 days, 2 days and the day of the bill. Sometime I cant pay it when the first reminder hits and I need another reminder or I forget. I can do it in ical but would love it in Chronicle!

                            • add multiple income (husband + wife)

                              In the Monthly Report area under the "Monthly Income & Payments" the ability to add more than one person's income. And that this feature adds both income while still showing them separate. For example
                              Income 1 (husband): $1.00
                              Income 2 (wife): $2.00
                              Total= $3.00

                              Also, the ability for assigning a bill to User 1 or User 2. For example. User 1 only pays the Rent, while user 2 pays the rest of the bills and having to show the amount deducted from each user income separately, while also displaying the balance left after the deduction.

                              I hope I was able… more

                                As the mouse hovers over a note, the content is displayed, rather than having to double click a bill to read the note.

                                  Doing this a little differently than mentioned here, but I think it’s even better: In Chronicle 4, notes are displayed inline, so instead of a “note” icon, you see the actual note. No need to hover over it.

                                • Allow goals to show the dollar amount remaining until completion

                                  Currently, you can total a goal's payments, then manually subtract it from the starting amount to find out how much further you have to go towards your goal, but it would be nice for a goal to say "$xxx.xx left until goal is reached!" and have the amount automatically reduced as payments are logged. If this is already possible, I am missing something.

                                    Goals is totally re-worked as a balance remaining section, and will be able to show the actual dollar amount left until the bill is paid off.

                                    Allow the currency of a bill to be specified independent of the default setting, such as tracking a debt paid in £, while the majority of bills are still paid in $

                                      I’m putting this back under review so people can vote on it again. I can consider adding it if enough people do want it. I may make it an option in preferences so that the average user wouldn’t be exposed to it, but those who need it could enable it.

                                    • Allow us to modify iCal options

                                      Primarily, I want to be able to have all the automated iCal alerts be task instead of events, so that they will sync with my todo/GTD software on the iPhone and Mac. Events only sync over to iCal and BusyCal, while tasks would sync to iCal, BusyCal, Things, Omnifocus, ect. Under the same umbrella, I'd like to pick the calendar that Chronicle posts to, instead of a Chronicle Calendar, I would like to post it to Home or Bills, ect/

                                      • Allowing sorting in Bill view for Payment History

                                        Right now, auto sorts by date added. This isn't useful if you are adding in back information all on the same day (or importing). Should be able to sort up or down based on date paid, not date added.

                                          Coming in Chronicle 4.0, very soon. Bills are automatically sorted correctly by date, no matter what order you enter them in.

                                        • prediction of shortfalls and excess

                                          predicting shortfalls or extra by including income and measuring against outgoing over 12 months. Not a trivial change but one which would enable us to see into the future. Something like this would also let us budget for big expense items whilst remaining in control of bills and outgoings.
