Your data stays yours
Practical privacy, not slogans.
- Local-first (mobile)
- On iPhone and Android, StowLedger is built to work locally first. That means your entries can live on your phone without needing the browser.
- What stays on the device
- Your expense list, receipts, and categories stay on the device for day-to-day use. That matters most when you are offline.
- When sync happens
- Sync is optional. When it is on, data can stay aligned across devices signed into the same account, so the web app and your phone can match when you want that.
- Why the website asks you to sign in
- The website is the web version of the product, not a brochure. Signing in connects the dashboard to your account.
- What we don't do
- We don't sell your personal expense data. Exports are for your records, taxes, and reimbursement, not for ads.
