The team here at heaps! has been working hard to improve things for everyone and our latest upgrade is going to be implemented Tuesday night, so unfortunately you won’t be able to access heaps! from 10pm. You can look forward to the following new features once the site is back up and running at around 8am on Wednesday morning:

New look interface during categorisation You’ll see new style and effects when you go to categorise a transaction, and it will appear under the transaction so that after you save, you won’t have to scroll down and find your place again.

New abilities for marking transactions as regular When you categorise a transaction you will be able to mark an income transaction as being regular, and you when you mark any transaction as regular you will be able to enter a custom amount of how much you expect it to be each time.

Goal templates With our new templates you’ll be able to choose a goal such as “Buy a car” or “Get out of debt” with the name, description and tasks already filled out for you.

Add a new goal from categorisation If you click on “I spent it on a goal” when you’re categorising a transaction you’ll be able to add a new goal without going on to the goals page first.

Goals progress display Your goals graphs will constantly update to show how much you’ve saved and spent on your goal.

Easier editing of goals You’ll be able to edit your goals easier and faster, mark a goal as spend or investment, and see your goal picture instantly after uploading.

We’re also releasing fixes for some bugs that we’ve found throughout the site, so heaps! will be running smoother than ever. These include mending the goal calculator, fixing up the way that categorisation remembers bill payments and income, stopping the budget start date from wandering for those of you who budget fortnightly, making the graph and figures on the homepage consistent, resetting sub categories when you go back to “All Spending” on the spending page and fixing a couple of bugs in our welcome wizard.

So bear with us on Tuesday night while heaps! is down during our upgrade, then log in on Wednesday and check out the new improvements!
