Tap the <icon/> button to toggle between Percentages and Amounts. Tap any category (on the chart or list) to see its transaction details.

Use the 'Expenses' and 'Income' tabs below the total balance to switch views.

They help you understand your spending: comparing periods, showing peak spending days, and projecting your month-end balance.

We group insights by Week, Month, and Year to help you find relevant info faster. You can also collapse each section.

Free insights show you a basic summary. With Pro, you get detailed analysis, end-of-month projections, spending pattern detection, and personalized saving suggestions.

Go to Settings → Currency → Default currency.

We use the official DolarApp exchange rate to automatically convert between currencies.

Yes, you can set a specific currency for each transaction. The app will convert it to your display currency for totals.

Display Currency shows your totals. Transaction Currency is the default used when creating new expenses.

Go to Settings → Categories → Add category.

You can choose from a wide range of emojis when creating or editing a category.

When creating or editing a category, enable the 'Budget' option and set a limit. Kesef will track your progress.

Yes! When you set a budget, it automatically applies to the current and future months.

It toggles the visibility of income in your balance and charts. Useful if you want to focus only on expenses.

Go to Settings → Theme to choose between Light, Dark, or System mode.

Yes. Settings → Carry balance over. Off (the default) the balance is that month's income minus expenses. On, it works like an account balance: end the month with 10,000 and the next one starts at 10,000. Your income and expense totals stay per-month either way.

Kesef checks on its own and tells you when one is ready, already downloaded. You choose when to restart — it never interrupts you mid-expense.

You can change the Theme (Light/Dark), Currency, Language, configure Notifications, and manage your Backups.

They are daily reminders so you don't forget to log your expenses. You can configure them in Settings.

1. Log expenses instantly. 2. Use emojis to spot categories quickly. 3. Check your Insights weekly to stay on track.

Create a group from the Groups tab, add the people in it, and log the shared expenses. Kesef works out who owes whom and settles the debts down to the fewest possible transfers.

From the group, tap Invite. You get a link and a code: the link opens the app straight into the group, and the code works if they'd rather type it in. Being in a group is free for everyone.

Yes. Add them by name and log their expenses right away. When they join with the code they claim that spot and inherit their whole history — nothing gets logged twice.

Only what belongs to the group: its expenses, its splits and its settlements. Your own transactions, categories, budgets and balance are never visible to anyone else.

Yes. Settings → Lock with Face ID. It asks when you open Kesef and when you come back after a minute away, so stepping out to another app mid-expense doesn't cost you an extra unlock.

On your phone. If you sign in, a copy also lives on our server so you can use several devices — and there, only your account can read it. If you never sign in, nothing leaves the phone.

Settings → Profile → Delete account. It erases the server-side copy and everything attached to it. It can't be undone, so export a backup first if you want to keep your history.

Your data is stored locally. Go to Settings → Backup → Export to save a backup file to Files/iCloud Drive.

Create an account from Settings and sign in on both devices. From then on your transactions, categories and budgets travel on their own. Without an account Kesef works exactly the same, just on one phone.

We use it to run the app's features and nothing else. We don't sell it. If you sign in, it's stored on our server under your account and no one else can read it. Voice entry sends the audio and your category names to our transcription provider, and nothing else.

Yes, with Pro: Settings → Export → Excel. You get three sheets — every transaction, a per-category summary and a per-month summary — with real numbers and dates, ready for pivot tables. CSV and JSON export are part of Pro too. Local backup stays free.

You can reset all data in Settings → Reset data. This action cannot be undone.
