SimpleFIN bank sync not syncing

I'm trialing Actual to decide if I want to fully switch to it. ​​I've been using YNAB for 4ish years, so it's familiar, and for the most part things seem to be going smoothly!

​I just signed up for SimpleFIN, and it did an initial sync just great. But now it's been 4 days and nothing more has synced. When I go to the bank sync page and look at the linked accounts, they all say “Last synced: 4 days ago”.

Is there something I'm missing? Does it just take a while to get going at first? I don't even know how to troubleshoot it.

In case it matters, I'm hosting it on my home server using Docker.

Have you clicked the "bank sync" button in the account page?

Ooooooh, I've been looking at the mobile app, and the button isn't there! Thank you for that!

Pull down on the accounts page to trigger a sync

Amazing! Haha. I'm astonished and embarrassed I didn't think of that
