No — and we mean it. Budget Flow is end-to-end encrypted with a key derived from your PIN. We never see your PIN, and our server only stores encrypted data. If you forget your PIN, your data is unrecoverable, even by us. This is the cost of true privacy.
If you've forgotten your PIN, your only option is to delete the app, reinstall, and start over with a new PIN. We strongly recommend storing your PIN in a password manager (1Password, Bitwarden, Apple Passwords).
Open the app → tap your profile picture (top-right) → Export data. You can export everything as a CSV, or filter by date range. The export includes accounts, transactions, transfers, income streams, buckets, goals, and earmarks.
Open the app → profile menu → Delete account. This permanently removes your encrypted data from our servers and signs you out. Because your data was encrypted with your PIN, even what's deleted on our side couldn't be read by anyone.
If you can't access the app, email [email protected] from the address you signed up with and we'll delete your account manually within 7 days.
Yes. Budget Flow encrypts your data on your device using NaCl XSalsa20-Poly1305 with a key derived via PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 from your PIN. Our server only ever stores ciphertext — it never sees your numbers in plaintext. We do not sell, share, or analyze your data.

You allocate your monthly income into custom "buckets" — for example: Rent ($1,500), Groceries (15% of income), Vacation fund ($200). Each bucket can be linked to one of your accounts. As you log expenses, the bucket's "remaining this month" updates live. As paychecks land, the linked account balance grows.
