[ Trust ] Privacy by architecture

A private expense tracker that keeps your ledger on your device.

Your transaction history stays local. When you use AI capture, the request streams through the backend to a model provider and the response streams back. AnytimeBudget does not keep a server-side copy of your ledger.

01

Local transaction history by default.

02

Assistant questions use temporary storage and expire after 24 hours.

03

CSV, Excel, and JSON export when you want your own backup.

What leaves the device

AI capture shares the input you submit. With your consent, the assistant can also request relevant summaries and transaction excerpts. You can pin dates to limit access.

What stays local

Your saved transactions, categories, accounts, budgets, and historical ledger remain on the device unless you export them.

Plain-language policy

The full privacy policy names the providers and mechanics. The short version is simple: AI helps structure a request, not store your life.
