What’s New

1. Everything shows in a narrower window

   When the window is narrow, the review inbox, permissions, setup and Recent activity now show in full and scroll together. Before, some of them were cut off.

2. Copy the example messages

   Each example under Try these in your AI app now has a copy button beside it.

3. Wording fixes

   Small corrections to the Simplified Chinese text.

1. See every product on one screen

   Products › Overview now lists each product's revenue, costs, estimated contribution profit and margin side by side.

2. Simpler AI Connections

   Turn on Allow AI apps to connect once. No pairing code is needed. Only apps under your macOS user account on this Mac can connect, and no network port is opened.

3. Review each AI record, or undo instead

   By default, every record from an AI app waits for you to save it. Turn off Confirm each record before saving to let new products, revenue and costs save directly, then undo any of them in Recent activity. Cost allocation changes still wait for your review.

4. A new look

   Lime is the new default theme, alongside Editorial Warm and Graphite, with a new app icon and menu bar icon. Products and Revenue now open on the same month as the Dashboard.

5. Installed the Claude Desktop extension with 1.6?

   Save the installer from AI Connections and install it again. The earlier extension can no longer connect.

1. Record revenue and costs in a conversation

   Connect an AI assistant on your Mac through MCP. Prepare products, revenue, costs and allocation changes, then review and save the records in MarginDeck.

2. Ask how your products are doing

   Query monthly or yearly portfolio and product revenue, scheduled costs and estimated contribution profit. Check a product's cumulative results through a chosen month.

3. Save a financial snapshot

   Export a report as an image to keep or share. If your client cannot save it, use the recent report in MarginDeck's AI Connections page.

4. Works with the assistant you use

   Connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Codex on the same Mac.

   Improved English and Simplified Chinese text. Fixed language-switching and display issues.

   Switch between the three in your Mac menu bar. Compare with the full previous month when saved history is available. Turn it on in Settings.

2. See upcoming costs

   Look ahead 7 or 14 days, including a separate summary of annual charges. Open Upcoming Costs for details.

3. Compare in one currency

   Choose a display currency and use ECB reference-rate estimates, with original amounts still visible.

1. Pause cost estimates for an unused tool

   Stop including its scheduled costs temporarily, then resume from the next expected charge. This does not pause the provider’s service.

2. Keep your history

   Past records, allocations and reminder preferences stay with the same cost.

1. Build a cost plan

   Reuse existing tools and add expected new expenses to a separate plan.

3. Keep plans separate

   Save plans on your Mac without changing your recorded products, costs or revenue.

1. Record a price change

   Choose when a new price starts. Earlier months keep their original amounts.

2. Get a reminder before a cost is due

   Set a local notification for an expected charge so you have time to review it.

   See expected charges over the next 30 days and scheduled costs over the next 12 months, including annual bills.

2. Stop a recurring cost

   Choose the month it ends without changing earlier records.
