 # Bill Tracker — Changelog
 
+## v0.33.8.5
+
+### 🎨 Design
+
+- **"S" badge (compact)** — Subscription badge shortened to "S" in all four locations (desktop tracker, mobile tracker, desktop bills table, mobile bills row), now with matching border style.
+- **Tracker bucket side-by-side** — When both buckets (1st–14th, 15th–31st) have bills, they render in a 2-column grid at 2xl+ instead of stacked.
+- **Compact bucket mode** — `compact` prop narrows table min-width to 700px at 2xl+, hides Last Month column, shrinks Notes (23%→16%) and Actions (10%→8%) columns, Due trimmed (10%→9%).
+- **Bucket header: remaining summary** — Shows "Remaining" and "Done" labels alongside paid/total/overpaid in bucket headers.
+
+### 🛠 Internal
+
+- Removed standalone `Remaining` summary card from the summary row (redundant with bucket header).
+- `Row` and `Bucket` components accept `compact = false` prop.
+
+---

 ## v0.33.8.4
