Cloud Sync


Finances keeps your data up-to-date on all your devices using iCloud. Finances stores data in a private iCloud database which is encrypted and only available to you – we don’t have access to your data. Learn more in iOS Security Guide – Internet Services – iCloud – CloudKit.

Do the following steps to enable Cloud Sync.

  1. Enable Cloud Sync on one device
  2. Wait until the initial data upload finishes
  3. Enable Cloud Sync on all other devices
