Yes. The app is free to download from the App Store and every feature is included — no subscription, no trial period and no in-app purchase needed to track your money.

No to both. There is no sign-up, no login and no password. The app works completely offline, on a plane or in airplane mode, because nothing depends on a server.

Your data is stored in a local database inside the app on your device. It is never uploaded, so we cannot see it, and we cannot recover it if it is lost. That is the trade-off of a genuinely private app, and we think it is the right one.

There is no cloud sync. Your records stay on the device where you entered them, which is precisely what keeps them private. If you need the same data on two devices, treat one as the source of truth and keep your own backups.

Because the data lives in the app's own local store on your device, a backup of that device — for example a Time Machine backup on a Mac — includes your Briff Finance records. Keep those backups encrypted, since they contain your financial history.

Open Settings inside the app and choose the option to delete all data. That returns the app to a fresh-install state. Deleting the app itself also removes its local database from your device.

You set an amount for a category in a given month. The app totals everything you log to that category — including its sub-categories — and shows a progress bar, so you can see how much of the budget is used and whether you are heading over it.

Yes. You can keep as many accounts as you like, each with its own balance, and record transfers between your own accounts. A transfer is stored as two linked entries, so both accounts stay correct.

Start with the account's opening balance, then look at the month you are viewing — the ledger is grouped by month, so a filter can hide entries. If the number still looks wrong, send us the details using the form below, including the app version.

Briff Finance is built for Apple devices and runs on macOS 15 or later. The App Store product page lists the current requirements for your region.

Use the form on this page. For a bug, tell us what you did, what you expected and what happened instead, and include your app version. For a feature request, describe the problem you want solved — that helps more than a proposed solution.

Yes. Write to privacy@briff.net for anything about data handling, or read the privacy policy, which explains in detail what the app does and does not collect.
