Questions, bugs, or ideas for Simple Budget. Tell us your device and what happened, and we’ll get back to you.
Common questions
Do I need an account?
Yes. You sign in with Apple, so there’s no password to make. Your account is what keeps your budget safe and in sync. You can hide your email from us when you sign in.
Do I have to connect my bank?
No. You can add accounts and transactions by hand, and log purchases with Siri, the widget, or Apple Pay automations instead.
Does the app see my bank password?
No. You sign in to your bank inside Plaid’s own screen. Plaid gives us your accounts, balances, and transactions, never your bank login.
Which banks can I connect?
Banks and card issuers in the United States that Plaid supports. Search for yours in your profile, under Accounts → + → Connect Bank.
My bank transactions stopped coming in.
Open your profile, then Accounts. If a bank says “Sign in again to keep importing”, touch and hold it, choose Sign In Again, and sign in through Plaid. Otherwise pull down on the list to check for new transactions.
How do I log Apple Pay purchases automatically?
In the app, open your profile, then Log from Anywhere. It walks you through a Shortcuts automation that logs each Apple Pay purchase as it happens. Name your accounts like your cards so they match.
Can I use it offline?
Yes. Your budget is kept on your iPhone, and changes sync when you’re back online. A few figures, like card payment amounts, show “updating…” until then.
How do I get my data out?
Open your profile and choose “Export Transactions as CSV”. You can open the file in any spreadsheet app.
How do I delete my account?
Open your profile and choose Delete Account. It deletes your account, every budget you own, and your bank connections, on all your devices. Export your transactions first if you want to keep them.
Deleting your data
- Disconnect a bank: your profile → Accounts, then swipe left on the bank and choose Disconnect. It’s also removed at Plaid.
- Remove your budget from one iPhone: your profile → Sign Out.
- Delete everything: your profile → Delete Account. Your account, every budget you own, and your bank connections are deleted from our server and from Plaid.
- Backup copies that Cloudflare keeps so our server can recover from a failure expire within 30 days. We never use them to bring back data you deleted.
Deleting your account in the app removes your data from our server straight away. See the privacy policy for details.
Requirements
- iOS 26 or later
- An Apple Account, for Sign in with Apple
- Bank connections: banks in the United States
