What's New!

New Update 01/25/2026:

There are no real significant changes to the look of the app. This update was intended to improve the overall performance, reliability and security of Clear-Budget.

Overall:

  • Before we used a synchronous system to handle requests and have now updated it to an asynchronous system. Now the site can handle multiple requests more effectively. Following this change we observed a significant boost in site performance and reliability.

Login/Register:

The following only applies to those who register with a username and password.

  • We have improved login security. As a result, the site will email you a link to reset your password.
  • Registration now requires email verification before accessing the application.

Budgeting App:

  • Issue: The balance and rolling balance would not always update correctly when making changes to your budget.
    1. We have replaced the scripts handling your budget items to process this data more reliably.
  • Issue: Your budget wasn’t always saving correctly resulting in missing budget items or poor placement within the budget.
    1. Changes to the scripts handling how this information is passed to the server has fixed this issue.
  • Issue: The budget breakdown was not updated correctly when making changes and after making changes you were unable to mouse over the different expenses to view the total amount expended.
    1. This has now been fixed. You should be able to check the total amount expended after making changes to your budget.

Blog:

  • Issue: Related articles were not populating correctly.
    1. Fixed. You will now be able to navigate freely between blog posts.
  • Issue: The like button would not respond as expected nor will it add a like.
    1. Fixed. The button will respond as expected and the number of likes will be updated depending on how you interact with the button.
  • CHANGE: We are placing ads into the blog. This will be the only place on the site with advertising. This is just intended to help off-set the cost of hosting the site and keep providing a free service for everyone to use.
