Common questions
What people ask before installing. The full list covers privacy, offline use, receipts, backups and purchases.
-
Do I need to create an account?
No. Install it and start tracking. There is no sign-up and no profile to fill in. Cloud backup, if you turn it on, uses your own iCloud or Google Drive account rather than an Expensed one.
-
Where is my financial data stored?
On your device, in the app’s own storage. It stays there until you export it or turn on backup to your own cloud account.
-
Are my receipts uploaded to a server?
No. Receipt images and the text read from them stay on your device. Cloud backup can include receipt attachments in the file it writes to your own storage account, and the app says so before you enable it.
-
Can I use the app without an internet connection?
Yes. Adding transactions, scanning receipts, browsing history and reading reports all work offline. A connection is needed only to install the app, download the on-device model, buy premium, or run a cloud backup.
-
Is Expensed free?
Almost all of it. Entry, receipt scanning, automatic logging, categories, accounts, tags, recurring rules, reports, search, CSV import and export, and backup to a file all cost nothing. Cloud backup is the one feature behind a purchase.
-
How do I back up my data?
Export the data yourself, or turn on backup to your own iCloud or Google Drive account. You start both deliberately; neither happens by default.
Expense tracking that stays with you.
Record what you spend, scan a receipt when you have one, keep the details on your own device.
Feature availability can differ between iOS and Android, and between device models.
