Update

New in settings: custom currency & date formats

Since we launched, the single most common piece of feedback from users outside the UK and US has been: "your date and currency formats don't match how I think about money." That's fair. Personal finance is deeply local — how you read a date or a number is ingrained from childhood, and anything that doesn't match creates friction every time you open the app.

We've fixed that with the latest update.

What's new

Custom currency

Pocketfuzz now supports over 50 currencies. Choose your currency from Settings and every number in the app — transactions, totals, recurring amounts — will display with the correct symbol and formatting. We support both prefix symbols (£100, $100, €100) and suffix formats (100 kr, 100 zł) depending on the convention for your currency.

If you work with multiple currencies — for example if you're an expat tracking expenses in two countries — you can set a primary currency and use notes to flag transactions in a different currency. Full multi-currency support with automatic conversion is on our roadmap.

Date format

You can now choose between:

  • DD/MM/YYYY — used across most of Europe, South America, and beyond
  • MM/DD/YYYY — the US standard
  • YYYY-MM-DD — ISO 8601, popular with developers and in East Asia
  • D MMM YYYY — written format (e.g. 15 Jan 2025), unambiguous anywhere

First day of the week

While we were in settings, we also added a first-day-of-week option. Monday or Sunday — whichever your calendar starts on. This affects how date pickers and weekly summaries are displayed.

How to update your settings

  1. Open Pocketfuzz and tap the menu icon.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Under Regional, choose your currency, date format, and week start day.
  4. All existing transactions will immediately reflect the new format — no migration needed.

What's next

We're continuing to invest in making Pocketfuzz feel native everywhere it's used. Coming later this year: number format options (comma vs. period as the thousands separator and decimal point), and full multi-currency account support. If there's a localisation issue that's bothering you, let us know — regional feedback is genuinely valuable to us.
