How many languages does Penvo support?

Penvo supports 13 languages: English (US), 简体中文 (China), 繁體中文 (Taiwan), 日本語 (Japan), 한국어 (Korea), Deutsch (Germany), Español (Spain), Français (France), Italiano (Italy), Nederlands (Netherlands), Português, Svenska (Sweden), Norsk (Norway).

Does Penvo support iPhone Duo, iPad and foldable phones?

Yes. Penvo is built for iPhone Duo: unfold it and the app switches to three columns — your ledgers on the left, entries in the middle and stats on the right, all on one screen. Fold it and you get the normal single-column phone layout. iPad and Android tablets and foldables use the same three-column layout (two columns on narrower screens). Your data syncs across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android and the web version.

How many currencies does Penvo support?

Penvo supports 25 currencies including USD ($), EUR (€), GBP (£), CHF (Fr), JPY (JP¥), KRW (₩), CNY (¥), TWD (NT$), HKD (HK$), SGD (S$), AUD (A$), CAD (C$), and more. Each expense is tagged with its currency, and the dashboard shows the original amounts. Perfect for travelers, expats, and anyone who deals with multiple currencies.

Can I use Siri to record expenses?

Absolutely. Penvo integrates with Siri Shortcuts. Just say "Hey Siri, Penvo record" and speak your expense. Works hands-free while driving, cooking, or walking.

Can I export my expense data?

Yes! Export all your expenses to Excel (.xlsx) from the web dashboard. Filter by date range and download with one click. Data includes date, category, note, amount, currency, and transcript columns.

Does Penvo work offline?

Voice recording works offline. AI processing and cloud sync happen when you're back online. Your data is securely stored and accessible from any device — even if you only brought your Apple Watch.

How does Penvo protect my privacy?

You choose where your data lives. Without an account (local mode), your ledger stays on your device, with optional encrypted iCloud backup. If you sign in to sync across devices or share ledgers, it is stored on Firebase under strict security rules — only your account (and people you invite to a shared ledger) can access it. Voice is transcribed on your device; only the recognized text or a receipt photo is sent for AI parsing and is not kept. You can delete all your data at any time.

Where is my data stored? Is it secure?

In local mode (no account), your data is stored only on your device. Once you sign in, it is stored on Google Cloud Firebase, encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS). Only your authenticated account — and members of ledgers you choose to share — can access it. Sign-in uses Firebase Authentication with Google or Apple (OAuth 2.0).

Can I use iPhone Action Button or Apple Watch to record expenses?

Yes! On iPhone 15 Pro and newer, assign the Action Button to Penvo's Voice Record shortcut — one press and speak your expense. On Apple Watch, raise your wrist and say "Hey Siri, Penvo record" — perfect for workouts, runs, or when your phone isn't handy.

What is envelope budgeting?

Envelope budgeting is a classic method where you allocate money into categories (envelopes). Each envelope represents a spending category like groceries, dining, or transport. Penvo brings this proven method to your phone — set a budget for each envelope, and Penvo tracks your spending against it, alerting you when you're close to the limit. It's a powerful way to stay disciplined and see exactly where your money goes.

Does Penvo have a local mode without login?

Yes! Penvo offers a local mode that requires no login or account. Just download the app and start tracking — all your expense data stays on your device and never touches any cloud server. You can optionally encrypt and back up your data to iCloud for safekeeping. Local mode is completely free to use forever.

Can I completely delete my account and all cloud data?

Yes, absolutely. You can delete your account at any time from the app or web dashboard. This permanently removes all your cloud-synced data from our servers, including all expenses, ledgers, and personal information. If you use local mode, your data is only on your device and not affected. We believe you should have full control over your data — including the right to erase it completely.

How do I mark an expense as reimbursed?

Swipe left on any expense and tap Reimburse. It then counts as 0 in your spending while the original amount stays visible, and Statistics shows how much was reimbursed this month. Tip: tap any category in Statistics to see every expense behind it — you can swipe to reimburse or delete there too.

Can I add a profile photo?

Yes. Open the Settings tab, tap your avatar to pick a photo, then pinch and drag to frame it. Your photo and nickname are saved to your account, so they come back on a new phone, and members of your shared ledgers see your photo on the ledger card. If you sign in with Google, your Google photo is used until you pick your own.

How do I jump to an earlier month?

Tap the month at the top of the expense list, Statistics or the business report, and pick any month directly — no need to tap the arrows month by month. You can also swipe left and right to move between the five tabs at the bottom.
