Using Budgett With No Signal

No data in the grocery basement? No problem. Budgett keeps working without internet, and catches up when you're back online.

📴What Happens Offline

  • Budgett keeps a copy of your data on your phone. With no signal, it opens from that copy.
  • You'll see a note: "Offline. Your changes are saved on this phone and will sync when you're back online."
  • Log expenses and tick bills like normal. Nothing is lost.
  • When your signal comes back, your changes go to your account by themselves.

📱Using Two Devices

  • Budgett always keeps the newest copy of your data, so nothing gets overwritten.
  • If another phone or Budgett Web changed your data while you were offline, Budgett loads that newer copy and tells you if your last change needs to be done again.
  • Tip: avoid changing the same thing on two devices at the same time.
⚠️ The First Login Needs Internet

Logging in for the first time on a phone, and Budgett Web, both need internet. Offline mode works after you've logged in at least once on that phone.

Try this now

Next time you're in a no-signal spot, log your expense anyway. Then check that it's still there when you're back online.
