What's New ​

Here's what we've been working on! Newest updates are at the top.

v1.6.1 - January 2026 ​

Features ​

  • Resize Your Columns: Drag column borders to make them wider or narrower — whatever works best for you! Double-click a border to snap back to the default size. Your preferences are saved automatically.

  • Helpful Column Info: Curious what a column means? Click the little (?) icon in any header to learn what that column shows, where the info comes from, and any formulas used.

  • Scrollbar That Follows You: Wide tables now show a scroll bar at the bottom of your screen, so you can scroll left and right no matter where you are on the page.

  • Smart Pattern Detection: In Regular Customers, you can now click "Detect for me" when adding a customer — we'll look at their order history and suggest how often they buy! No more guessing.

Improvements ​

  • Column Reordering is Optional: Dragging columns to reorder them is now turned off by default (so you don't accidentally move things when resizing). Turn it on in Settings whenever you want it.

  • Smoother Resizing: Resizing columns now feels much better — no more accidentally dragging a column when you meant to resize it.

  • Friendly Cooldown Timers: After syncing data, you'll see a countdown showing when you can sync again. No more wondering if the button is working!
