Custom Plan Creation
Building your financial plan from scratch is now more intuitive than ever. The new plan builder lets you define category groups, set percentage allocations, and add items with just a few taps. Whether you prefer a 50/30/20 split or want complete control, Echo adapts to your style.
Template Gallery

Smarter Excel Imports
We've added confidence thresholds to our ML-powered import engine. Items the system is confident about are auto-approved, while low-confidence items are flagged for your review. Corrections you make teach the system, making future imports even smarter.
UI Refinements
We've addressed numerous visual quirks and interaction bugs reported by early testers. Navigation feels smoother, forms are more responsive, and the glassmorphism theme is more consistent throughout the app.
Coming in v0.3
Next up: goal tracking with progress visualization, intelligent alerts, and the first iteration of our forecasting engine. Echo is becoming more alive with every release.
