Changelog

What we shipped,
and when.

Argus rolls out continuously — small fixes daily, larger features every few weeks. This is the public record. RSS available at argus.app/changelog.rss.

v2.4 May 5, 2026 · Continuous monitoring

Argus now runs around the clock.

The biggest change since launch. Argus now runs every check on every connected client every night automatically — no manual triggers, no checklists, no "did somebody run last night?" Slack threads. Status changes propagate to dashboards within seconds.

For firms, this means the morning dashboard is always live by 7 am. For owners, this means the Monday email is now actually based on Sunday-night data instead of last-Friday data. For both, it means the lag between "something happened" and "Argus knew" is now measured in hours rather than weeks.

Continuous monitoring Performance Email digest v2
  • FeatureNightly run scheduler — full check sweep across every connected client between 1 am and 5 am local time.
  • FeatureSSE-based dashboard — status changes appear without refresh.
  • FeatureMonday morning email digest, redesigned. Two paragraphs, no spreadsheets.
  • ImproveRun-time per client down 38% — most checks finish under 90 seconds end-to-end.
  • FixDuplicate-bill detector no longer false-flags recurring charges from the same vendor on regular intervals.
v2.3 April 14, 2026 · Excel add-in

QBO reports, straight into Excel.

The native Excel add-in shipped publicly. Pull any QBO report into a workbook with one click. Sheet stays connected — refresh pulls fresh data. Argus health flags travel with the rows; right-click a flagged transaction to see what triggered it.

This was the most-requested feature on the firm side. Bookkeepers do half their thinking in Excel; we wanted the audit layer to be there too.

Excel add-in Live sync In-row notes
  • FeatureExcel add-in — sideloadable from the Office store, beta channel.
  • FeatureSave report templates — Argus will rebuild your Mar-2026 GL pull on the same dates each year.
  • FeaturePer-row notes inside Excel — comment on a single transaction without leaving the sheet.
  • ImproveDrag-drop for image attachments inside notes (web + add-in).
v2.2 March 20, 2026 · Custom monitors

Watch anything you want.

Custom monitors went generally available. Pick any GL account, any vendor, any customer, any threshold — Argus will watch it and alert when something changes. Useful for catching specific recurring journal entries, owner draws, restricted spending categories, and the long tail of things that aren't in the 11 built-in checks.

Custom monitors Per-client
  • FeatureCustom monitor builder — UI to define account / vendor / customer watchers with arbitrary thresholds.
  • FeatureReorder monitors with drag-and-drop. Pin favorites to the top of every client dashboard.
  • ImproveSales tax check now covers GST + HST + PST per province; previously HST-only.
  • FixAR aging totals now match QuickBooks 1:1 for clients on accrual basis with deferred-revenue.
v2.1 February 6, 2026 · Team workflow

Roles, assignments, @-mentions.

Firm-tier teams can now assign clients to specific bookkeepers and accountants, comment on issues with @-mentions, and track resolution at the partner-review level. The notes feature picked up threaded replies and image attachments along the way.

Roles @-mentions Threaded notes
  • FeatureBookkeeper / Accountant assignment slots, one of each per client.
  • Feature@-mention any team member in a note — they get an in-app + email notification.
  • FeatureThreaded replies on issues — single level, keeps conversations crisp.
  • FeatureCross-client mention bell + Monday digest.
  • ImproveSnooze any flag to a future date — useful for "we know, we'll fix at month-end" cases.
v2.0 January 12, 2026 · Major release

Argus, redesigned.

Two years of working with firms compressed into one release. New dashboard, new run engine, new check engine, new everything. Existing customers were migrated automatically with zero downtime. Old API endpoints continue to work for the next 12 months; new endpoints documented at /api.

If there's a single change to highlight: the workbook view is now firm-wide rather than per-client. Partners get a single screen with the health of every client and every bookkeeper at a glance.

Workbook view New check engine Re-architecture
v1.9 December 1, 2025 · Process tracking

Per-client SOPs that actually run.

Bookkeeping firms accumulate per-client knowledge — monthly journal entries, owner-draw classifications, weird tax treatments. Argus now stores that as a per-client process doc with runnable checklists. Onboarding a new bookkeeper to an old client just got a lot easier.

Client process SOPs
v1.8 November 4, 2025 · Daily ops

Smaller things, added up.

A grab-bag release. Faster QBO API calls (token bucket rewrite), better error messages, light/dark theme, keyboard shortcuts everywhere, and the first cut of the workbook drilldown.

  • ImproveQBO rate-limiter rewrite — 500/min standard, 200/min on report endpoints, 10 concurrent.
  • ImproveLight theme. Keyboard shortcuts on every dashboard view.
  • FixDuplicate-invoice detector on cash-basis clients.
  • FixCustom monitor reorder no longer flickers on drag.
