Updates

Downslope is actively being improved based on user feedback. Here's what's new.

July 21, 2026 Current

One shared navigation across the site, plus a Budget rounding fix

Shared navigation everywhere: every page now uses the same header, and you can always get back to any tool from anywhere. Blog and Updates moved into a "More" menu to keep things tidy
Penny-rounding bug fixed in Budget: uneven expense splits (like $10 split three ways) could drop a penny instead of accounting for it exactly. Fixed, tested, and shipped
Consistent cross-app links: Debt Payoff, Budget, and Net Worth now all link to each other the same way, no matter which one you start in

July 18, 2026

Finance is now Debt Payoff. Renamed sitewide (homepage, nav, blog) to match Net Worth and Budget, and to say plainly what the tool does
Net Worth stays in sync. Debts you edit in Debt Payoff now keep updating in Net Worth automatically, not just on your first import
Edit assets in Net Worth. Fix an asset's name, value, or category in place, no more deleting and re-adding
Tighter account-pairing security. Hardened how Debt Payoff, Budget, and Net Worth link devices together, closing a gap that could let a crafted link redirect synced data to the wrong place

July 12, 2026

Goals in Budget: set a savings target for 30 days, 6 months, a year, or 3 years out. Log contributions as you go and see whether your current pace gets you there on time, with a heads-up if you're falling behind
Preset budget categories: Budget now offers ready-made categories organized around Needs, Wants, and Goals, so setting up your budget doesn't start from a blank page
Debt payoff, front and center: Budget's layout now leads with your debt progress and goals, with day-to-day spending and category management right below
Pro unlocks both apps: one Pro purchase now unlocks Pro features in Debt Payoff and Budget
Money check-in moved up: the weekly AI money check-in is easier to find, right after your spending overview
More reliable syncing: improved how Debt Payoff and Budget keep debt data in sync across devices
