Knowledge Base & FAQs
01Getting Started
No! FlowCash is 100% offline-first. When you install the app, you are immediately ready to add transactions, schedule bills, and organize your finances without mandatory sign-ups, passwords, or cloud logins.
Open Settings → Currency to browse from over 111+ pre-configured world currencies. You can also tap "+ Custom" to create your own currency symbol, specify prefix/suffix placement, and choose decimal precision.
Navigate to Settings → Appearance to toggle between Dark Mode, Crisp Light Mode, or the Pink Theme. The theme updates instantly across all charts, tables, and navigation docks.
02Offline Architecture & Dropbox Cloud Backup
All transaction ledgers, bank labels, and recurring bills are stored strictly on your physical device in sandboxed encrypted storage. We do not operate a centralized database server for your financial records.
Under Settings → Cloud Backup & Sync, tap Sign in with Dropbox (1-Click). FlowCash connects directly to your personal Dropbox account and saves an encrypted backup (flowcash_cloud_vault.json) in your private app folder. You can set auto-sync frequency to Daily, Weekly, or Monthly, or hit Sync Now anytime.
03Financial Ledger & Multi-Bank Tracking
No. For maximum privacy and security, FlowCash does not require bank credentials or Open Banking aggregators. You add transactions manually with our fast Quick Add button (+) or import historical statements via CSV/Excel.
When creating transactions, assign them to a bank (e.g., Barclays, Lloyds, Monzo, HSBC, or Cash). In the Ledger screen, tap any bank tab at the top to filter records instantly and view the dynamic running balance for that specific account.
04Bills & Subscriptions Scheduler
Under Bills, add your recurring expenses (rent, utilities, insurance, streaming subscriptions). FlowCash orders them chronologically and alerts you to pending bills due soon with red badge indicators.
Yes! Under Settings → Data Management, select Sync Bills to Calendar (.ics) to export standard calendar files compatible with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook.
05Data Export & Portability
Go to Settings → Data Management. Tap Export to Excel (.xlsx) or Export to CSV (.csv) to generate clean, spreadsheet-ready financial reports with full debit/credit columns and category breakdowns.
In Settings, tap Wipe All Data & Reset. This permanently deletes all local transactions, budgets, and settings from your device.
06FlowCash PRO Upgrade & Universal Purchase
FlowCash PRO unlocks advanced features including unlimited custom bank accounts, automated Dropbox sync schedules, Excel/CSV spreadsheet export, and calendar syncing.
Yes! FlowCash supports Apple Universal Purchase. If you upgrade on iPhone, your PRO entitlement automatically syncs across your iPad and Mac using your Apple ID.
