What to include
The app fills most of this in for you — use Menu → Email bugs, feedback or support and it attaches your app version and device automatically.
- What you were doing when it went wrong
- What you expected, and what happened instead
- Which screen you were on
- Your app version and device model
- A screenshot, if it is something you can see
Please blur or leave out your real balances. A screenshot of the layout is almost always enough, and nothing about your actual money needs to end up in an email inbox.
Answers
- Do I need an account?
- No. Bujji has no sign-up, no login, and no password. Open it and start. There is no account to create because there is no server to create it on.
- Is Bujji free?
- No — it needs a Pro purchase, which is monthly, yearly, or once for life. There is also a way to get it for nothing: post about Bujji, reach 10,000 views on that post, and send us the link for a lifetime unlock. The lifetime challenge page has the details.
- Does it connect to my bank?
- No, and it will never ask to. Every balance is a number you type in yourself. That is deliberate: no credentials to hand over, nothing to breach, and it works with cash, envelopes, and accounts a bank aggregator would never see.
- Where is my data stored?
- Your balances, reminders, goals, loans, logged activity, notes, and receipt photos stay in the app's private storage on your device. Only Pro purchase information is sent to RevenueCat and Apple or Google; your money data is never included.
- What does 'set aside' actually do?
- It records a decision for your savings goal. By itself it reserves nothing and changes no balance. If you also moved the money between your own places, turn on 'I moved the money too' and the transfer is recorded separately — two balances change and they net to zero.
- Why did my balance go down when I recorded a loan payment?
- Because that one really spends. Loan payments, logged expenses, and confirmed bills all deduct from the place you picked. Setting money aside is the one that does not.
- Can my balance go negative?
- Yes, and the app will let it, without a warning or a red screen. If that is what happened, the app should say so rather than refuse to write it down.
- What does 'Spent' count?
- Only what you logged. It is not a complete record of your spending and never claims to be — the breakdown on This month says it is what you told the app about, and links to everything that happened so you can see the whole list rather than a summary pretending to be one.
- Can I keep money in more than one currency?
- Yes, as many as you like. Each place names its own currency, and everything written against that place is in it. Nothing is ever converted and no two currencies are added together, so you get a total per currency rather than one number that is wrong in three ways. Activity is the one list that mixes them, and every row says which it is.
- I changed currency and my numbers stayed the same. Is that a bug?
- No. A place keeps the currency it was created with, and switching what you are looking at converts nothing. Every amount stays exactly as you entered it. Converting your history behind your back would quietly rewrite your own records with a rate nobody checked.
- What language is it in?
- Whichever your phone is set to, out of ten: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. You can pick a different one on the first screen or later in the Menu. Dates and numbers come from the phone's own settings.
- When do reminders arrive?
- At 6am on the day something is due, and only if you turned them on in Menu. If several things are due, one notification summarises the morning. Nothing badges, nags, or repeats.
- How do I get my data out?
- Menu → Your data → Export my data writes everything to a file you can save or send anywhere. Your records are not locked inside this app.
- How do I start over?
- Menu → Your data → Delete everything. It asks once, then erases all of it permanently. There is no copy anywhere, including with us, so export first if you might want it back.
- How do I move my records to a new phone?
- Export the file on the old phone, send it to yourself however you like, then on the new one use Menu → Your data → Restore from a file. Restoring replaces everything on that phone with what is in the file rather than merging the two, so a half-merged set of records can never happen — and a copy of what was there is saved first, so it can be undone.
- Does it work offline?
- Your money records and reminders work offline. Buying, restoring, or refreshing Pro access needs the store and RevenueCat; a paid entitlement that has already been confirmed is kept when the network cannot be reached, so a flight never locks you out.
