Creating a budget book is simple:

1. Open the GoodShare app
2. Tap the plus at the top right
3. Choose "Quick Start Book" for a ready-to-use book with pre-selected categories, or "Local Book" to set it up yourself
4. For a local book, a wizard walks you through name and currency (e.g., "Household", "Vacation", "Shared Apartment"), categories, budgets and savings goals

Your budget book is now ready to use! You can adjust categories, budgets and savings goals anytime via "Edit book". With "Join with Code" in the same dialog you join someone else's book instead.

To share your budget book with others:

1. Open your budget book
2. Tap the menu icon (three dots)
3. Select "Manage Members"
4. Tap "Invite member"
5. Share the invitation link

The invited person can join by accepting the invitation in their GoodShare app or through the link.

GoodShare uses Firebase to sync your data instantly across all devices:

• Automatic sync: Changes appear immediately for all members
• Offline mode: You can add transactions offline, and they'll sync when you're back online
• Cloud backup: Your data is securely stored and accessible from any device

No manual refresh needed: everything happens automatically!

Local Books:

• Stored only on your device
• No account required
• Works completely offline
• Cannot be shared with others
• Lost if you uninstall or lose phone
• Unlimited in free plan

Cloud Books:

• Synced to Firebase (Google Cloud)
• Requires an account (Google or email and password)
• Real-time sync across devices
• Can be shared with unlimited members
• Backed up automatically
• Free: 1 cloud book, Pro: unlimited

Which should I choose?

• Local: Personal tracking, privacy-focused, no internet needed
• Cloud: Shared budgets with partner/roommates, multi-device access

Yes! You can upload any local book to the cloud:

1. In the book list, tap the book card's menu (three dots) → "Upload to Cloud", or tap the cloud icon directly
2. Confirm the upload

Requirements:

• A GoodShare account with Google or email and password (free). As a guest, the app takes you to sign-in and keeps your data
• Active internet connection

What happens:

• All transactions and categories are transferred to the cloud
• Real-time sync is enabled across all your devices
• You can now share the book and invite members

Note: Free users can have 1 cloud book. Pro users have unlimited cloud books.

The AI Receipt Scanner uses Google Gemini to automatically extract data from your receipts:

1. Open the transaction form and tap the camera icon
2. Take a photo of your receipt or choose from gallery
3. Tap "Scan & Fill" to start the AI analysis
4. The AI extracts: amount, date, merchant name, and suggests a category
5. Review the data and save the transaction

Important: Always verify the extracted data, the AI is not 100% accurate.

You have full control:

• AI Processing: Images sent to Google Gemini are processed in real-time and NOT permanently stored by Google
• Attachment Storage: If you choose to attach the receipt to a transaction, it's stored in Firebase Storage (your cloud storage)
• Your Choice: You can use AI scanning without saving the image, or save the image without AI scanning

Receipt images attached to transactions are deleted when you delete the transaction or your account.

Free users: 3 AI scans per month

Members of a book whose owner has Pro: 50 AI scans per month

Pro users: Unlimited AI scans

Note: You can always add transactions manually or attach receipts without using AI scanning, this doesn't count against your limit.

The AI attempts to extract:

• Total amount: the final price on the receipt
• Date: when the purchase was made
• Merchant name: the store or service provider
• Category suggestion: based on the merchant (e.g., supermarket → Groceries)

Tips for best results:

• Good lighting and clear photo
• Capture the entire receipt
• Avoid blurry or crumpled receipts

Yes. We prioritize your privacy:

• Consent required: You must explicitly tap "Scan & Fill", there is no automatic scanning
• No permanent storage: Google processes images in real-time without storing them permanently
• Encrypted transfer: All data is sent via HTTPS
• GDPR compliant: Processing is based on your explicit consent

See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.

Yes! You can attach images to transactions independently of the AI scanner:

• Take a photo: Use the camera to snap a receipt
• Choose from gallery: Select an existing image from your device

Attached images are stored:

• Local books: On your device only
• Cloud books: In Firebase Storage (secure cloud storage)

Attaching images without AI scanning does not count against your AI scan limit.

Repeat Transactions are recurring payments that automatically create transactions on a schedule.

Perfect for: Monthly rent, weekly groceries, annual subscriptions

How to create one:

1. Start creating a new transaction
2. Enter amount, note, and category
3. Tap the "Repeat" button
4. Choose the frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly)
5. Set an end date under "Time Limit (Optional)" if you need one
6. Save

Note: On the free plan up to 3 repeat transactions can run per book at the same time, each for at most 12 months. Pro removes the limit, and without an end date they extend themselves automatically. How long one runs and how to stop or change it is explained in the standing orders guide.

Settlements help balance expenses between members when one person has paid more than their fair share.

How is it calculated who owes whom?

GoodShare calculates for each member: (What was paid) minus (Fair share)

• Positive balance: You paid more than your share, so you're owed money
• Negative balance: You paid less, so you owe others money

Example:

• Alice and Bob share 50/50
• Alice pays 100 EUR for groceries, Bob pays nothing
• Alice's share: 50 EUR, Bob's share: 50 EUR
• Result: Bob owes Alice 50 EUR

To settle up:

1. Open the book's statistics and switch to "Group" → "Settlement"
2. See who owes whom and how much
3. Tap "Settle all balances" (called "Settle balances" in newer versions)
4. Check the amounts in the preview, adjust them for partial payments and tap "Confirm"

What happens when you record a settlement?

Two transactions are created:

• A transfer-out for the payer (e.g., Bob sends 50 EUR to Alice)
• A transfer-in for the receiver (e.g., Alice receives 50 EUR from Bob)

This is expected: settlements are money transfers between members, not actual spending. They do NOT appear in your regular category statistics.

What does "All Settled" mean?

This appears when all balances are below 0.01 EUR (rounding tolerance) and no one owes anyone significant amounts.

Undo a settlement:

Delete one of the two settlement transactions in the list (swipe left or long-press). GoodShare removes both linked transactions together, and balances are recalculated automatically.

GoodShare supports multiple export formats:

• Standard CSV (Free): the last 30 days
• Advanced CSV (Pro): full history
• PDF Export (Pro): professional report with charts
• Sankey Diagram: 1 per month free, unlimited with Pro

How to export:

1. In the book list, tap the book card's menu (three dots)
2. Choose "Export book"
3. Tap the export you want

To edit a transaction:

1. Tap the transaction in your list, then "Edit" (or long-press it and choose "Edit transaction")
2. Make your changes (amount, category, note, date, who paid)
3. Save the change

To delete a transaction:

1. Swipe left on the transaction
2. Tap the trash icon
3. The transaction is deleted right away. Tap "Undo" in the bar at the bottom to bring it back

Or: Long-press the transaction, or open it, and tap "Delete". GoodShare asks for confirmation first.

Note: In shared books, all members can see edits and deletions. Once the undo window has passed, a deleted transaction cannot be recovered.

Default behavior: All expenses are automatically split equally between all book members.

Custom split:

1. Go to Menu → "Manage Members"
2. Under "Expense Split", choose "Custom Split" (Pro)
3. Adjust the percentage for each member
4. Example: Set a 70/30 split if one person earns more

When adding a transaction, you can specify which member paid. GoodShare then automatically calculates the balances!

Budgets help you set spending limits for categories:

Setting up a budget:

1. Open "Edit book" from the book card's menu and switch to the "Budget" tab
2. Set a budget amount for each category
3. Save

How it works:

• GoodShare tracks spending against your budget
• Visual progress bar shows how much you've spent
• Color changes: Green → Yellow → Red as you approach limit

Free and Pro: Setting budgets, the remaining budget while adding an expense, the warning at 80% and the budget widget are free. The detailed budget report in the statistics section is part of Pro.

Budget types: Budgets apply per category and month (e.g., €200 for Groceries). Each month starts with the amount you set, unless you turn on budget carry-over: then over- and underspending rolls into the following months.

Tip: Start with your biggest expense categories and adjust over time! Learn about popular methods like the 50/30/20 rule or zero-based budgeting.

Savings Goals help you save towards specific targets:

1. Open your budget book
2. Open the statistics and switch to "Planning" → "Savings"
3. Tap "Add Savings Goal"
4. Set a name (e.g., "Vacation Fund"), target amount, and deadline

How it works:

• Track progress towards your savings target with a visual progress bar
• Add contributions manually whenever you save money
• See how much you still need and whether you're on track

Limit: Free users can actively use one savings goal, Pro users as many as they want. In a book owned by a Pro user, savings goals are unlocked for every member.

Tip: Combine savings goals with budget tracking to identify categories where you can cut spending and save more! Also read our guide on building an emergency fund.

GoodShare uses two types of categories:

• System categories: Pre-defined categories like Groceries, Rent, Transportation (cannot be deleted)
• Custom categories: Your own categories for specific needs

Each type exists for both expenses and income.

To create or edit categories:

1. In the book list, tap the book card's menu (three dots) → "Edit book"
2. Switch to the "Categories" tab
3. Tap "Add Expense Category" or "Add Income Category", or long-press one of your own categories to edit it

Limits: On top of the system categories, free users can create up to 5 custom categories per type (expense/income). Pro users have unlimited categories.

The Sankey cash flow diagram visualizes your money flow. Free users get 1 Sankey per month, Pro users have unlimited access.

How it works:

• Income sources are shown on the left
• Expense categories are shown on the right
• Flow width represents the amount of money

This gives you an instant overview of where your money comes from and where it goes.

How to access:

1. In the book list, tap the book card's menu (three dots) → "Export book"
2. Choose "Sankey Diagram"
3. Set the period and options, then tap "Generate Diagram"

Features:

• Selectable period (this month, last month, 3 or 6 months, this year, all time or a custom range)
• GoodShare creates an image you can download
• Share it as an image or as a web link

Learn more about Sankey cash flow diagrams or try the free online tool.

Yes, GoodShare ships five widgets. Add them from your launcher's widget menu and pick which book each one should show.

• Balance + Quick Add: this month's balance with income and expenses, plus a button for a new entry
• Budget status: your category budgets with progress bars and what is left
• Quick Add: a small 1x1 widget that opens the entry sheet directly
• Settlement: who owes whom how much, right on your home screen
• Recent transactions: the newest entries of a book as a list

The widgets follow your system's light or dark theme and refresh automatically. For shared books you can reload them instantly with the refresh button.

By default every month starts at zero: the balance you see is exactly what happened in that month. With carry-over you take the previous month's remainder with you instead.

Balance carry-over: enable it per book. Whatever was left over (or missing) at the end of the month flows into the next one. Useful for a household account that simply runs on. You can choose whether the calculation starts at book creation or from an opening balance you set yourself.

Budget carry-over: a separate setting. Budget you did not use up, or overspent, in a category rolls into the following month. Stay 50 below your grocery budget in January and you have that much more in February.

You find both switches under "Edit book" in the "Carry-over" tab. They are independent of each other and only affect what is displayed, never your recorded transactions.

Only book owners can remove members:

1. Open your budget book
2. Tap menu (three dots) → "Manage Members"
3. Find the member you want to remove
4. Tap the remove icon next to the member
5. Confirm the removal

What happens:

• The member loses access immediately
• Their transactions remain in the book
• Outstanding balances are preserved

Can't remove someone? You may not be the book owner, or you are trying to remove yourself as owner.

When a member leaves a budget book:

Their transactions stay:

• All transactions they created remain in the book
• Historical data is preserved for accurate records

Balances are calculated:

• Outstanding balances at time of leaving are recorded
• Other members can still see what was owed

To leave a book:

1. Open the budget book
2. Tap menu → "Manage Members"
3. Tap "Leave Book"
4. Confirm your decision

Note: As the book owner you cannot leave your own book, only delete it. Ownership cannot be transferred to another member.

Default: Equal split (50/50 for 2 people, 33/33/33 for 3, etc.)

• Applies automatically to all transactions
• Can be customized for the entire book

How it works:

1. You add an expense (e.g., 100 EUR groceries)
2. GoodShare calculates each member's share
3. Balances are updated automatically

No manual calculation needed! Read our complete guide on fair expense splitting.

Yes! With Pro: Individual percentages per member

Example: Partner A earns more → 70%/30% split

How to set up:

1. Open your budget book
2. Menu > "Manage Members"
3. Find "Expense Split" settings
4. Adjust percentages

How 70/30 works:

• 100 EUR purchase
• Partner A (70%): owes 70 EUR
• Partner B (30%): owes 30 EUR
• Whoever paid, the difference is balanced

These are two different concepts:

• "Paid by": Who actually paid the bill (e.g., Alice)
• "Split": How costs are divided (e.g., 50/50)

Example:

• 100 EUR dinner, paid by Alice, 50/50 split
• Alice paid 100 EUR, her share is 50 EUR
• Bob paid 0 EUR, his share is 50 EUR
• Result: Bob owes Alice 50 EUR

Together they determine: Who owes whom how much.

No! Income is NOT split.

• Income goes 100% to the person who records it
• Only expenses are shared between members

Why? Typically only shared costs (rent, groceries, utilities) are split, not personal income like salaries or gifts.

Tip: For shared income (e.g., deposit refund), add it as income for one person, then use a settlement to share it.

Yes. When you tap "Settle all balances" (called "Settle balances" in newer versions), a preview of the payment plan opens. You can edit every amount by hand before confirming.

Example: Bob owes Alice 50 but can only pay 30. Enter 30 and confirm. GoodShare records the 30 as a settlement, and the remaining 20 stays as an open balance. The next settlement will suggest it again automatically.

That keeps the maths right even when you settle in instalments.

Yes. The book's split (say 50/50) is the default for every transaction. Individual transactions can deviate from it:

• Equal: all active members carry an equal share
• Custom: you assign each member their own percentage for this one transaction
• Payer only: the transaction counts 100% towards whoever paid and does not affect the settlement at all

"Payer only" is the practical case for private spending that should appear in the shared book but is nobody else's business, your own lunch, for instance, tracked in the household book.

You set the deviating split while entering the transaction. It is a Pro feature and is available to every member in a book owned by a Pro user.

Book Owner:

• Can remove members
• Can delete the book
• Can change book settings
• Cannot leave, only delete the book

Member:

• Can create/edit/delete transactions
• Can view all data and statistics
• Can leave the book anytime
• Cannot remove other members

Equal access: Both see all transactions, statistics, and balances!

GoodShare supports both light and dark themes:

1. Open the app and tap the gear icon (Settings)
2. Tap "App Theme"
3. Choose your preferred option:
   • Light: Classic light design
   • Dark: Eye-friendly dark design
   • System: Automatically follows your device settings

The change takes effect immediately, no restart required.

Push notifications keep you informed about important events in your budget books:

1. Open Settings in the app
2. Tap "Notifications"
3. Enable the push notifications toggle

Important: Make sure GoodShare is also allowed to send notifications in your device's system settings (Android Settings → Apps → GoodShare → Notifications).

GoodShare sends notifications for these events:

• New transactions: When a member adds a new expense or income
• Member joined: When someone joins your budget book
• Member left: When someone leaves the budget book
• New settlement: When a settlement payment is recorded
• Budget warning: When a category budget is 80% used up
• Budget exceeded: When a category budget hits 100%
• Recurring reminder: On the day before each execution of a standing order you pay, shared books included, at your reminder time (6 pm unless you changed it). If several are due the next day, you get a single notification: it names the standing order with the largest amount, the number of the others (for example "+2") and the total in brackets. Switch it on or off under "Recurring payment reminders" and set the time under "Reminder time". Books stored only locally on your phone are not included.

You can enable or disable individual notification types in Settings.

With biometric login, you can quickly and securely sign in using fingerprint or face recognition:

1. Open Settings in the app
2. Under "General", enable "App Lock"
3. Confirm with your fingerprint or face

Requirements:

• Your device must have a fingerprint sensor or face recognition
• Biometrics must be set up in Android settings
• You must already be logged into GoodShare

After enabling, you unlock the app with your fingerprint or face, without entering a password.

Yes! The currency is set per budget book:

1. Open your budget book
2. Tap menu (three dots) → "Edit Book"
3. Find the "Currency" setting
4. Select your preferred currency
5. Save

Note: Changing the currency only affects how amounts are displayed. It does not convert existing transaction amounts.

Tip: You can set different currencies for different books, useful if you manage finances in multiple countries.

GoodShare works even without an internet connection:

What works offline:

• Adding, editing, and deleting transactions
• Managing categories
• Viewing statistics (based on local data)
• Full access to all local books

What requires a connection:

• Initial login
• Syncing with other members
• AI receipt scanner
• Sending or accepting invitations

Automatic sync: As soon as you're back online, all offline changes are automatically synchronized. No data is lost.

If transactions aren't syncing, check these common causes:

1. Book not in the cloud yet:

• A local book lives only on your device. Members see your transactions only after "Upload to Cloud"
• Uploading needs an account (Google or email and password)

2. Not in the same book:

• Make sure you both joined the same budget book

3. Offline mode:

• Check your internet connection
• Transactions added offline will sync when back online

4. App not up to date:

• Update to the latest version from Google Play Store

Not necessarily.

• Local books work without any account.
• Joining a book by invitation works without an account too, as a guest.
• Uploading and sharing a book of your own needs an account (Google or email and password). If you are signed in as a guest, the app takes you to sign-in and keeps your data.

You do not need to confirm your email address.

Free plan limitations:

• 1 cloud book of your own for sharing, unlimited local books
• Join unlimited books via invitation (always free!)

Solutions:

Option 1: Have your partner create the book and invite you, joining is always free!

Option 2: Upgrade to Pro for unlimited books, plus advanced analytics, PDF export, and more.

Tip: If the book owner has Pro, every member of their books gets the Pro features too. A further cloud book of your own still needs your own subscription.

If an invitation to a budget book isn't working, check these points:

Common causes:

• Link expired: Invitation links have an expiration date. Ask the book owner to create a new link.
• Already a member: You may already be in the book. Check your book list.
• Wrong account: Make sure you're signed in with the correct Google account.
• App not installed: The invitation link opens the Play Store if GoodShare isn't installed.

Solution: Ask the book owner to create a fresh invitation link via "Manage Members" → "Invite member".

If you're not receiving push notifications, check these settings:

1. In the GoodShare app:

• Open Settings → Notifications
• Make sure the toggle is enabled

2. In Android system settings:

• Go to Settings → Apps → GoodShare → Notifications
• Enable "Show notifications"
• Check that GoodShare isn't blocked in "Do Not Disturb" mode

3. Battery optimization:

• Settings → Apps → GoodShare → Battery
• Select "Unrestricted" or disable battery optimization

4. Internet connection:

• Push notifications require an active internet connection

If you forgot your password, you can reset it easily:

1. Open GoodShare and go to the login screen
2. Tap "Forgot Password?"
3. Enter the email address linked to your account
4. Check your inbox for a password reset email
5. Click the reset link and set a new password

Tips:

• Check your spam/junk folder if you don't see the email
• The reset link expires after a short time, request a new one if needed
• If you signed up with Google Sign-In, you don't have a GoodShare password, use Google Sign-In instead

If signing in with Google isn't working, try these steps:

1. Update Google Play Services:

• Open the Google Play Store
• Search for "Google Play Services"
• Install any available updates

2. Check your Google account:

• Open the Google app and make sure you're signed in
• Try signing into another Google service

3. Clear app cache:

• Settings → Apps → GoodShare → Storage
• Tap "Clear cache" (NOT "Clear data"!)

4. Internet connection:

• Google Sign-In requires a stable internet connection
• Try switching between WiFi and mobile data

5. Restart:

• Restart your device and try again

If the issue persists, contact us at support@goodshare.app

To permanently delete your account:

1. Open GoodShare
2. Go to Settings (gear icon)
3. Tap "Delete Account" and confirm in the dialog

Deletion happens immediately, inside the app: your Firebase account, cloud books, transactions and uploaded receipt images are permanently removed. There is no request and no waiting period. This action cannot be undone.

Before deleting: Export your data and settle outstanding balances!

Yes. Security and privacy are fundamental to GoodShare:

• Infrastructure: Hosted on Firebase (Google Cloud) with enterprise-grade security
• Encryption: All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest
• GDPR compliance: We fully respect European privacy regulations
• No data monetization: Your financial information is never sold or shared with third parties

Your data can be stored in two ways:

Local storage (on your device):

• Budget books without cloud sync are stored only on your phone
• Data stays private and works offline
• Lost if you uninstall the app or lose your phone

Cloud storage (Firebase):

• Cloud-synced books are stored on Firebase (Google Cloud)
• Servers located in the EU (GDPR compliant)
• Encrypted in transit and at rest
• Accessible from any device with your account
• Backed up automatically

Tip: We recommend cloud sync for shared budget books so all members can access the data.

Yes! With cloud-synced books on unlimited Android devices.

How it works:

1. Install GoodShare on your new device
2. Log in with your existing account
3. All cloud books are automatically loaded

Changes sync instantly between all devices!

The outcome depends on your storage type:

Local books: Data is permanently deleted when you uninstall the app, as it exists only on your device and cannot be recovered.

Cloud-synced books: Data remains safely stored in the cloud. Simply reinstall the app, log in with your account, and all your data will be restored automatically.

For this reason, we recommend using cloud sync for any data you want to keep long-term.

Pricing:

• Monthly: 4.99 EUR/month, 2.49 EUR for the first 3 months as a new customer
• Yearly: 39.99 EUR/year (save 33%!), 29.99 EUR for the first year as a new customer

For the whole household: your Pro covers every member of your own books, so only the person who owns the book needs to subscribe. For two people that puts Pro at 1.67 EUR per person and month.

Cancel anytime through Google Play:

1. Open Google Play Store
2. Tap profile → "Payments & subscriptions"
3. Select "Subscriptions"
4. Find GoodShare Pro
5. Tap "Cancel subscription"

You'll retain Pro access until the end of your billing period.

Don't worry, you won't lose your data!

When your Pro subscription ends:

Your data is safe:

• All transactions, categories, and history remain
• Nothing is deleted

Cloud books (if you have more than 1):

• You pick one book that keeps syncing
• The others stay on your device as local books with all their data
• They no longer sync with other members
• The book you picked remains fully functional

Features affected:

• Advanced analytics → Basic statistics
• Unlimited repeat transactions → Limited to 3
• Custom categories → Existing ones stay, can't add new
• PDF export → CSV export (30 days)

Tip: Export your data before canceling if you need full history!

Yes. If the person who owns the book has Pro, every other member benefits automatically, but only inside that book.

Unlocked for everyone in the shared book:

• Advanced analytics, budget and member breakdowns, forecast
• Advanced filters and additional reporting periods
• Unlimited custom categories and recurring transactions
• Custom split, savings goals, Sankey diagram
• Full CSV and PDF export

Not transferable (these stay tied to your own account):

• Additional cloud books: your own limit stays at 1
• Unlimited receipt scans: your quota does rise from 3 to 50 scans per month while you are in a book owned by a Pro user

Example: You have Pro, your partner does not. In your shared book they see every statistic, export to PDF and create as many categories as they like. They still cannot create a second cloud book of their own.

This makes Pro particularly cost-effective for couples, families, and roommates.
