iCloud Sync & Data Security
Understand how your data syncs across devices and stays secure with iCloud integration.
CashFlowly uses optional iCloud sync on supported devices signed into the same account. Basic sync is Free. Timing depends on Apple services, network access and device conditions. Sync can propagate deletions and is not an independent backup.
How Sync Works
CashFlowly uses Apple's CloudKit technology. This means the sync happens at the system level:
- Committed changes can upload when iCloud and network access are available; a local save alone does not prove an upload finished
- Other devices receive changes automatically in the background
- Offline changes can sync later; verify important records on another supported device and keep an independent copy
Requirements
- Signed in with the same iCloud account on all devices
- iCloud Drive enabled
- CashFlowly enabled in iCloud settings
Privacy & Security
We take your privacy seriously. Because we use CloudKit:
- Private DB: Your financial data is stored in your private iCloud container.
- We Can't See It: We (the developers) do not have access to your database. Only you do.
- Apple Security: Your data is protected by Apple's industry-leading security standards.
Troubleshooting Sync
If data isn't appearing on another device:
- Check internet connection on both devices
- Ensure both are logged into the same iCloud account
- Kill and restart the app on both devices
- Check if iCloud storage is full
