Common questions

Where is my data kept?

On your device, in the app's own storage. There is no Finledger account and no Finledger server. See the privacy policy.

How do I get my data out?

Settings > Your data > Export data. You get a CSV file you can open in any spreadsheet.

How do I delete everything?

Settings > Your data > Delete everything. It cannot be undone, so export first if you might want the file later.

Does it sync between my devices?

Yes, through your own iCloud account, on Apple devices. Turn it on in Settings > iCloud Sync. Your data is encrypted on your device before it is sent, so nobody else can read it, including us and Apple. Keep your recovery key: without it, and without a device that already has your data, nothing can be recovered.

What is the analyst?

An AI assistant that runs on your device. It can answer questions about your money and propose changes, such as recategorizing a charge or setting a budget. It never applies a change without showing it to you first, and every change it does make appears in Changes with an Undo.

Does the analyst send my money data anywhere?

No, unless you set up a cloud endpoint yourself in Settings > Analyst. By default everything it does happens on your device. It needs to download a model file once, which comes from huggingface.co and contains nothing about you.

Why is the model so large?

The models are between a few hundred megabytes and several gigabytes, because that is what a capable on-device assistant takes. You choose which one to download, and you can delete it at any time in Settings > Analyst.

Can I use the app without the analyst?

Yes. It is off until you turn it on, and everything else works without it.

A number looks wrong.

Please email with a screenshot and what you expected. Money is tracked in whole cents and every change is recorded, so a wrong figure is a bug worth fixing, not a rounding quirk.

Reporting a bug

Email with the steps you took, what you expected and what happened, plus your device and the version from Settings > About finledger. A screenshot helps. If the app crashed, say what you were doing at the time.
