Your Security Is Our Priority
Built by someone who understands the importance of financial privacy. We protect your data like it's our own.
Data Encryption
We use AES-256 encryption, the same bank-grade security standard used by financial institutions.
AI Privacy (Opt-In)
AI insights are 100% optional. If enabled, we use Google's Gemini model via OpenRouter. No names, emails, account numbers, or credentials are ever sent, and you can turn it off anytime.
Read-Only Access
We can only read your transaction data through Plaid. We can never move money or make changes to your accounts.
Ongoing Hardening
We keep dependencies patched and scan the codebase for vulnerabilities as the app evolves.
How We Protect Your Data
Bank-Level Security
Your data is protected with the same security standards used by major financial institutions.
Secure Authentication
Sign in with Google or email, with automatic lockout after failed attempts and secure session management.
Privacy First
We never sell your data. It is shared only with the services that run the app, never for marketing.
