Settings

Open Preferences (toolbar gear) → Configuration tab.

Currency

Pick the document’s currency: Rp · $ · € · £ (or another symbol). The currency sets the symbol and the number of decimals (e.g. $ has 2, Rp has 0). The symbol is used everywhere amounts are shown.

Number format

Choose how thousands and decimals are separated, independently of the currency:

This affects every amount shown in the app, and the live formatting as you type in money fields.

Live amount formatting

When you type in a money field — a transaction amount, an opening balance — Financy groups thousands as you go (e.g. typing 1000000 shows 1,000,000), using your chosen number format. Decimals are capped to the currency’s places.

Password & encryption

Encryption is managed from the File menu, not Preferences:

• Set Password… — encrypt the open document with a passphrase. It immediately becomes a manual-save document.
• Change Password… — re-key an already-encrypted document.
• Remove Password… — convert an encrypted document back to a plain file.

You can also set a password up front when creating a file (Setup Wizard or File ▸ New…). See Your Data → Password encryption for how it works and the no-backdoor warning: a forgotten passphrase can’t be recovered.

Checking for updates

Financy checks GitHub Releases for a newer version — at most once a day on launch, and on demand via File → Check for Updates…. The check is a single anonymous request to GitHub; it sends no document data.

When a newer release exists, a popup offers:

• Download — opens the release page in your browser so you can grab the new build for your platform.
• Skip This Version — silences the automatic prompt for that one version (a manual check still shows it).
• Later — dismiss; you’ll be reminded on a future launch.

If you’re offline the launch check fails silently. Financy never downloads or replaces itself — you stay in control of installing the update.
