FAQ & Troubleshooting

Why does the installer/app warn that it’s unsigned?

Current builds aren’t code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper may warn on first launch. On Windows choose More info → Run anyway; on macOS right-click → Open the first time. See Getting Started.

Can I use more than one currency in a document?

Not yet — each .financy file is single-currency. You can keep separate documents for separate currencies. Multi-currency / FX within one file is a possible future feature.

My credit-card import has everything backwards (income vs expense).

Some card exports use positive numbers for charges. In the import mapping step, tick “My export uses + for money spent (flip the sign).” See Importing CSV.

Re-importing a file — will it duplicate transactions?

No. Import flags rows that match an existing entry (same date + payee + amount in that account) as duplicates and excludes them by default.

Where is my data stored?

In the .financy file you chose when creating the document. On launch Financy reopens your last file. See Your Data.

Can two people / machines edit the same file?

Not simultaneously — it’s a single-writer SQLite file. Use one machine at a time.

How do I report a bug or request a feature?

Open an issue on GitHub.

Does Financy update itself?

No — Financy checks GitHub Releases for a newer version (once a day on launch, or via File → Check for Updates…) and shows a popup with a Download link. It never downloads or replaces the binary on its own, so you decide when and how to install. The check is an anonymous request to GitHub and sends none of your data. Use Skip This Version in the popup to silence the prompt for a release you’re not ready for.

Where’s the changelog?

See Releases and CHANGELOG.md.
