Support & Help
Getting started
- A Google account is required. FreedomBudget creates your budget as a Google Sheet in your own Google Drive and reads/writes it directly. If you don’t have a Google account, create one at accounts.google.com.
- No bank linking. You enter your income and transactions yourself; the app is not connected to any bank, and your balance reflects your entries.
- Where’s my data? Open Google Drive (or Google Sheets) any time to see the spreadsheet the app created — with or without the app installed.
Common questions
My balance doesn’t match my bank
The app’s balance is based on what you’ve entered and marked cleared — it isn’t linked to your bank. Use the Reconcile link under the balance on the Dashboard to compare and find missing or uncleared items.
A new month wasn’t created / I didn’t get a reminder
The next month is prepared automatically around the start of each month, and also whenever you open the app if it’s missing. If a scheduled reminder is late, that’s usually your device’s battery optimization — opening the app will create the month within a couple of minutes.
How do I share my budget with a partner?
In Settings → Invite a partner, send an invite link. Your partner installs the same FreedomBudget app and connects with that link — there’s no separate app to download. You choose whether they manage the budget equally with you or contribute entries for your review.
How do I turn on the app lock?
Settings → App lock. It uses your device’s fingerprint/face or PIN. We never access your biometric data — that’s handled entirely by Android.
Billing, free trial & cancelling
FreedomBudget offers a 30-day free trial, then $4.99/month or $49.99/year; partner access is included at no extra charge. Billing is handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play — manage or cancel in your Apple or Google account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Managing or deleting your data
Because your budget lives in your own Google Drive, you’re always in control:
- Delete your data: delete the budget spreadsheet from your Google Drive.
- Revoke app access: visit myaccount.google.com/permissions.
- Remove local settings: uninstall the app. We store nothing on our servers, so there’s nothing on our side to delete.
Notifications disclaimer
Reminders are best-effort and not guaranteed — delivery depends on your device and OS settings. Please don’t rely on app reminders as your only way to remember payments.
