Privacy & sync

Your budget starts on this device.

This page covers where your records live, what leaves your device, and the controls you have.

Where your data lives, what sharing exposes, and the controls you have.

  • No bank loginYou do not give TallieUp your bank credentials.
  • Encrypted sharing, visible metadataShared event contents are encrypted before they travel through the relay.
  • You control paired devicesReview or remove devices in Sync & devices.
  • Keep your own recovery copyAn encrypted backup needs both the file and its separate recovery code.

Where your records live

In the app · Privacy Center
Group keys use the operating system secure store. The local database contains readable financial records; TallieUp does not add an app PIN or encrypt that database. Protect access to your device.

No cloud account holds your data. Your identity in TallieUp is a name you give this device.

No bank login

In the app · Privacy Center
You do not give TallieUp your bank credentials. You enter records or choose a file to import. A financial CSV export is readable by anyone who can open it; store and share it carefully.

What leaves your device

These are the off-device flows TallieUp documents.

  • Sync updates, if you share a space. They are encrypted on the device before they leave. The relay may see some metadata, listed below.
  • Feedback you choose to send. It goes to the relay, which files it as a GitHub issue.
  • Purchase checks, if you buy hosted sync. The store and TallieUp’s server verify the purchase.
  • Admin-only Google Sheets sync for project estimates talks to Google directly; the Google token stays on the device, not the relay.
  • Local-network relay discovery probes a conventional relay hostname on your network.

If you share a space

In the app · Sync & devices
This space stays on this device until you set up sync. Anyone you invite will keep their own separate copy.
In the app
A space stays in sync across your trusted devices through a relay. You choose which relay carries the encrypted updates.

Keeping a shared space in sync needs a relay. The app offers two: TallieUp’s hosted relay, sold as an app store subscription, or a relay you run and point the space at.

In the app
Trusted devices are devices you invite by QR or code. They can view and update this space. The relay moves encrypted updates. It cannot read your budget contents.
The relay and your data
What the relay may seeWhat it can’t read
  • Which devices are syncing
  • Which space an update belongs to
  • Update size
  • When updates are sent
  • Space and device identifiers, connection details and transport metadata
Your budget contents. Sync updates are encrypted on the device before they leave.
In the app · Privacy Center
Paired devices hold the keys and can read the shared records.

How sync works

Your controls

Encrypted backup

In the app · Encrypted backup
Save all spaces and history in an encrypted file. Keep the recovery code separately. Both are needed to restore.

The code isn’t in the file, and TallieUp can’t recover it. If you lose the code, the backup can’t be opened.

Restore onto a fresh install from your file and code. Reminders can be off, or every 7, 30 or 90 days.

CSV export

Five reports: Plan configuration, Transaction history, Category summary, Bills and income, and Forecast.

In the app · Export data
Exports are plain text. Store them somewhere private.

Paired devices

Review or remove devices in Sync & devices. Only the space creator can remove a device.

In the app · Privacy Center
Revocation is cooperative: it does not erase copies another device already has or automatically rotate the shared group key. Only share with devices you trust.

Local erase

Type ERASE to delete this device’s spaces, their records and group keys. It doesn’t erase other devices, relay copies, exported files or operating-system storage remnants. Your device identity and global preferences stay.

In the app · Privacy Center
Hosted sync is not a complete backup of this installation.

You can start with a demo plan.

When the app is available to you, its first screen offers four ways in. One is a demo plan.

Try a demo plan · Restore encrypted backup · Join with an invite · Create a new space

In the app
These are sample numbers, kept separate from your real plan.
