Proposals: review what your AI writes

Every row that an AI, Siri, a statement import or another program writes into longbook shows in Proposals, with its writer's name, to keep or undo.

How it works

  • Rows are listed in a tab for each kind: charges, commitments, accounts, people and categories.
  • A changed row shows each field before and after.
  • Keep All accepts the proposal. Undo All writes back the state from before it.
  • Before you decide, you can edit or delete a row that was added.

Not a queue

A proposal is already in your longbook when you see it, and the rest of the app counts it. Keep All confirms it. Undo All removes it, including anything edited since.

History

History keeps the last 50 versions of your longbook, each with its writer, time and what it changed. Restore writes an earlier version back as one more proposal. It deletes nothing.

Questions

Can I keep one row and undo another?

No. Keep All and Undo All answer the whole proposal. Delete or edit a row first if you need to.

What counts as a proposal?

Writes from an AI through the MCP server, Siri, the Shortcuts action, a statement import, or another program editing the file. Edits you make in the app's own forms don't wait for review. Notes your AI leaves on cards don't show here.

Can my AI change things without my knowing?

No. Every proposal names its writer. Through the online connection, a signed-in AI can only make proposals, and only after Allow proposals is on.
