Common questions

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not by us. Open iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Farthing and tap Cancel. You keep Pro until the end of the period you already paid for. Refund requests also go through Apple — we cannot issue them.

I paid, but Pro isn't showing up

Open Settings → Farthing Pro and tap Restore purchases. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID you purchased with. If it still doesn't appear, email us with the date of purchase and we'll help.

How does "Safe to spend today" work?

It's what's left in your Spending pots, minus any Bills pots still due this cycle that aren't yet funded, divided by the days left until your next pay day. It only ever reflects what you have told the app — pots you've set up, income you've entered, transactions you've logged.

How do I change my pay day or pay rhythm?

Settings → Pay rhythm. Changing it takes effect from your next cycle; it never rewrites a cycle that has already opened.

How do I back up my budget?

Settings → Backup & restore → Export backup builds a file and hands it to the iOS share sheet — save it in Files, iCloud Drive, or anywhere you'll find it again. Restoring reads the same file back. There is no automatic sync; the backup file is the copy. You can also export a CSV of your transactions the same way.

What happens to an unspent pot at the end of a cycle?

It follows that pot's own rollover rule, set on the pot itself: Carry over (the balance moves into the new cycle), Reset (a leftover surplus is released; a shortfall still carries), or Sweep (a leftover surplus moves into a savings pot you choose; a shortfall still carries). Savings pots always carry, regardless of their own setting.

Does Farthing connect to my bank?

No. Farthing has no bank connection — every pot, income and transaction is entered by you. It does not ask for bank login credentials or intentionally upload your budget records. Purchases and app updates use network services as described in the Privacy Policy.

How do I delete my data?

Delete the app to remove its local budget records, or use Settings → Backup & restore → Erase all data. Manage exported files and iCloud or computer backups separately. Erasing local data does not delete Apple purchase history, RevenueCat purchase records or Expo update metadata and launch diagnostics. For privacy requests, email us; see the Privacy Policy for details.
