Help topics
Getting started
How do I start a budget?
Open Accounts, tap +, and add a bank account, card, or cash balance. Enter the balance as of the opening date. Use Activity to record purchases, income, and transfers. To replay the walkthrough, open Settings → View Tutorial.
How do I change my budget period or currency?
Open Settings → Budget cycle to start on the first of the month or on a day you choose. Open Settings → Currency to choose your budget currency. Existing entries keep their numeric amounts when the display currency changes.
Accounts and spending
How do I record a credit card payment?
Record purchases as expenses on the credit card account. When you repay the card from a tracked bank account, record the repayment as a Transfer. That updates both balances and keeps the purchase counted once.
Budget totals and bills
What’s the difference between Budget remaining and my projected balance?
Budget remaining reflects the net balance of your tracked accounts through the selected period’s reporting date. Projected end-of-period balance in Plan subtracts planned deductions such as upcoming bills, installments, and monthly set-asides.
What happens when I record an expense for a planned bill?
When you record a bill as an expense in the same budget period with the same name and amount, SpendPage treats it as already covered in the forecast. You can review it in Activity.
iCloud, backups, and privacy
How do I back up or sync my budget?
Open Settings → Backup & restore to save a backup or restore one from Files. For sync across devices signed in to the same Apple Account, enable Settings → iCloud Sync.
How do I remove my iCloud data?
In Settings → iCloud Sync, choose Delete iCloud Data to clear the synced budget and keep the local copy. Manage exported backups separately in Files. See the privacy policy for more detail.
