Frequently Asked Questions
How is the database encrypted?
Budgie stores all financial data in an SQLCipher-backed SQLite database encrypted with AES-256. The encryption key is derived from your device keychain and never transmitted off the device.
What happens if someone picks up my unlocked phone?
Budgie's PIN and biometric lock gate every app launch. Even if the device is unlocked, no financial data is visible until the correct PIN or biometric challenge is passed.
Can someone see my balance in the app switcher?
No. Screenshot protection automatically blurs all sensitive screens when the app moves to the background, preventing balance exposure in the iOS and Android recent-apps view.
Are my encrypted backups safe if someone accesses my cloud storage?
Yes. Backups are encrypted on your device before upload using your device-derived key. Anyone with access to your iCloud Drive or Google Drive would only see an encrypted blob — not your financial data.
Does Budgie have any server-side security risks?
No. Because Budgie stores all data locally and has no backend that receives financial information, there is no server to breach. The entire attack surface is limited to your device.
