Write to support@ondesta.app for help or to report a problem, and I'll reply by email. Please don't send your backup file or screenshots that show your real figures. Ondesta can't see your data, and you shouldn't have to share it.

Common questions

How do I back up my records?

On Home, tap the gear at the top right, then Back up and restore. Choose Export a backup file, then choose where to save it.

How do I restore from a backup?

On Home, tap the gear, then Back up and restore, then Restore from a backup file. Restoring replaces everything in the app on that phone, and it can't be undone unless you have a copy. The app shows what is on the phone now and what is in the backup before you confirm, and lets you export what is here first. Restoring is all or nothing: if the file is damaged, or comes from a different type or version of the app, it is refused and nothing changes.

Is my backup file private?

It is not encrypted. Anyone who opens it can read everything in it. Keep it somewhere private.

Does Ondesta need an internet connection?

No. Ondesta works without one and makes no network requests.

Can I use Ondesta on two phones?

Ondesta has no sync. Each phone has its own records. To copy your records to another phone, export a backup and restore it there. This replaces what is on that phone.

What is Safe to spend?

What is left after everything already committed. Money in a savings account is not counted toward it. Tap the ring on Home to see how it is worked out.

What happens if I delete the app?

The records are removed from that phone. A backup file you exported, or an iPhone backup that included the app, can bring them back.

How do I send feedback?

On Home, tap the gear, then About Ondesta, then Send feedback. It opens a draft email to support@ondesta.app in your mail app. You can also write to support@ondesta.app directly.
