What shipped, week by week
Every meaningful change, dated and in plain words. You will see how fast we move and what we choose to fix — that’s the point. Updated every Friday.
Jijenga is open. No invite, no waitlist — start free, keep everything.
- AddedJijenga is out of beta — anyone can sign up and claim a free week of the full product. Every plan gets everything; paying only changes how long the door stays open.
- AddedA new jijenga.com — one story, honest numbers, and pricing that says exactly what it costs: week KES 199 (free during launch), month KES 399.
- AddedBilling that can’t surprise you — no card on file, nothing renews by itself; continuing is always your M-Pesa push. One notice before a period ends, one after, a receipt when you pay.

- ImprovedEvery email redesigned — the new mark, plain words, and the facts you need up front: what happened, when, and what happens next.
- ImprovedCleaner spacing across the app and a calmer sign-in screen.
- AddedJijenga Connect (ai.jijenga.com) — bring your own AI assistant. Connect Claude and others to your account and ask about your own money in plain language; changes only happen propose-and-confirm.

- ImprovedStatement upload redesigned — clearer steps, one PIN moment, honest progress.

- FixedMonthly reports failing to generate at month close.

- ImprovedThe intelligence suite reworked as one connected system — every figure is a door; your chosen period follows you between rooms.
- ImprovedFuliza Shield rebuilt around what Fuliza actually is — a condition to manage, shown by cost, not a verdict.
- FixedRare cases where a correction could take minutes to reflect in summaries.
- AddedReal-time updates — imports report their progress stage by stage, live, and finish without a refresh.

- FixedImports occasionally stalling at the last step after the move.

- ImprovedIncoming business payments, bank transfers, and international remittances now land as income — the way you’d expect.
- ImprovedPerson-to-person money is a transfer, not "giving" — your spending no longer inflates.
