Basic Apps
Updates
Last updated: September 28, 2026
Here's what we've been working on and what's coming next for each app. We ship updates regularly, check back often.
Basic Checkbook v8.1
Download Current VersionWhat's New
- Favorites. Swipe an account to the right and add it to your favorites; a Favorites chip then leads the filter bar. Up to four.
- Prefer a plain list? Settings now has a Filter Accounts switch that turns the chips off.
- Deleting an account now also clears the reminders for its scheduled transactions.
Ink. v5.2
Download Current VersionWhat's New
- 5.2
- The last line you typed in a list is kept, even if you leave before pressing Return.
- Import a file from the + button, right beside New note. Ink keeps the words, not the file.
- A save that does not land is retried, and the sync dot tells you.
- Stopping a shared list keeps everything added while it was shared.
- Search in Archive finds a list by what is inside it, not only by its title.
- Onboarding says how the 14 days work: they begin the first time you open something Pro.
Basic Intake v6.4
Download Current VersionWhat's New
- Log today's weight from your Apple Watch. Tap the weight button on the main screen, turn the Crown, and it saves to your iPhone, and to Apple Health if you use it.
- Setting up with a big stack is more reliable. If the analysis can't finish, the supplements you listed are still saved instead of leaving you with an empty list.
- Label photos now tell you what went wrong: out of scans, no connection, or a busy service, instead of always asking for a retake.
- Scanning a barcode in the assistant no longer uses up one of your chats, and a label the AI can't read no longer costs a scan.
- If you've used Basic Intake since before 6.2, AI features stay on, and a one-time note shows what's shared with Anthropic and lets you turn them off.
- In dark mode, your daily weigh-ins stand out on the weight chart.
Drift v7.0
Download Current VersionWhat's New
- Drift is now a sleep sound app. 34 sounds, from rain and a box fan to ocean waves and a crackling fire, each playing under its own moving scene.
- Instrumental, a new collection: eight calm tracks, from Night Piano to Violin Lullaby. Both of those are free.
- A sleep timer that fades out at the end, a mixer for up to four sounds, and play and pause from your lock screen.
- The nightlight turns your screen into a soft light in one of six colors.
- We dropped the baggage and went hyper-focused on what you wanted most from Drift: sleep.
Basic Fidgit v2.5
Download Current VersionWhat's New
- Four new fidgets: Jacob's Ladder, Whack-A-Mole, Wave Machine, and Pin Art
- Bonk the moles back into their holes before they duck away
- Pull the Wave Machine aside and let go to set it swinging
- Smoother Rotary Dial and a fresh coat of polish
