Straight questions, straight answers.
Does Sereno connect to my bank?
No — by design. You log spending yourself. That five-second gesture is the method. Upside: no bank credentials to hand over.
Do I need an account?
No. The app works fully without one: data stays local on your device. An account (free) is only for syncing devices and unlocking multiple accounts, custom categories, and server-side recurring rules.
Is there a guest-mode limit?
No. No transaction quotas, no artificial caps. Guest mode is complete and free forever.
Does Sereno use AI?
No. No AI receipt scanning, no opaque auto-categorization. You log, you see — that’s it.
Where is my data stored?
Without an account: IndexedDB on your device only. With an account: Postgres at Supabase (EU), isolated per user. Details in the privacy policy.
What if I create an account after weeks offline?
Your local data migrates automatically. If migration fails mid-way, everything rolls back and your local data stays intact.
Why is it free? Can I support it?
Local mode costs almost nothing to run, and there’s no paid plan. Support is voluntary via the Support page (Stripe) — never required, never a gate.
Can I export my data?
Yes: CSV export and full JSON backup from settings. Your data is yours, including when you leave.
