Privacy guide

Local-first money tracker: what stays on your device

Local-first design gives users a simpler privacy model: use the app on device, choose cloud features deliberately, and review AI drafts before saving.

Daily records

Daily transaction records, categories, account labels, budgets, recurring rules, notes, and app settings are designed to stay on device by default.

Optional cloud features

If you choose iCloud backup or sync, selected data may be processed by Apple services through your Apple account. That is different from public sharing or selling financial records.

AI drafts

Voice and AI parsing should create editable drafts, not final records. You remain responsible for confirming the details.

Support and diagnostics

Support messages and diagnostics should be treated separately from money record contents. Do not email passwords, codes, or full financial records unless a secure process specifically requires it.

FAQ
