To sync data and share data with multiple users, you need to share a Ovarun account. This ensures privacy when sharing financial data. Since Ovarun supports syncing of data with a Ovarun account, a shared Ovarun account will share data between multiple Ovarun apps that use the same account.

• Share a Ovarun account with the users you want to sync with.
• Use the syncing feature in the app to keep data up-to-date across all users.

Ovarun supports account-based cloud sync and shared workspaces. Family and team-style sharing is managed with invitations and workspace permissions.

If you're experiencing syncing issues between devices; consider the following:

Make sure you are logged in to Ovarun Cloud with the same account on all devices. Also ensure syncing between devices is enabled. Head to More, Account, login if needed, and tap the Sync/Devices button. Here, Sync Data can be toggled.

Syncing involves two steps: upload and download. Both steps must occur for changes to reflect across platforms. This allows you to safely sync using your personal Ovarun Cloud, eliminating the need for a centralized server and ensuring your data is not shared with us or any third party.

You can force a sync by:

• Swiping down on the homepage
• Launching the app fresh, if the user was previously logged in

Each device needs to upload changes before they can be downloaded to another device. Therefore, you will need to first sync from one device to upload changes, and then sync on the target to download changes.

Note: If you sign out, you need to sign in again on that device to continue syncing. For security, session and verification flows can require re-authentication.

Reset Syncing

Race conditions can occur and data can becomes out of sync between platforms. Ovarun tries its best to ensure it updates data using the latest modified time and propagates changes across platforms. In the case where 2 (or more) devices are out of sync, you can force reset one by restoring a backup and removing all active sync devices.

First, create a backup (using the provided cloud backup service or local backups) on the device with the correct data and restore it (via the cloud or using a local backup). Now, open the Sync/Devices page in More, Account and delete all device sync backups. This will ensure that after restoring a backup, a sync will not occur using old out-dated data. On the out-of-sync target device, restore the cloud (or local) backup. This will ensure all data is exactly the same on both devices.

Note: Restoring a backup will always overwrite all current data on target device. Before overwriting data, it is always recommended to keep an extra backup.

Prevent Resyncing When Restoring a Backup

To prevent data from being downloaded and synced right after a backup is restored (cloud or local): open the Sync/Devices page in More, Account and delete all device sync backups. This will ensure that after restoring a backup, data updated from other platforms will not be restored. After this had been completed, the backup can be restored.

Tracking Credit Spending

Create a separate account specifically for tracking credit card spending. Every time you make a purchase using that credit card, you would add a transaction to that account. You can transfer amounts between accounts to add credit card payments or apply a Balance Correction.

Credit Card Statement

In the "Account Details" page (tapping the account twice on the homepage account switcher sections), set the cycle time range for reports to reflect the spending from your credit card statement.

Utilize the "All Spending Summary" page to view past spending ranges associated with your credit card account. You can apply filters to only select that account.

Credit Card Budget

Create a new budget with a set limit, and set the account to the respective credit card account. You can set the start date to the date of your statement so that the totals within the budget history will match that of your statement. Pay attention to the set period dates - this will repeat automatically for the set time range.

When a transfer is made, two Balance Correction transactions are created: an account transfer out and an account transfer in. Each is a separate transaction and can be edited individually at any time in the transactions list. The net total of a transfer is 0.

Note: you will need more than one account created within Ovarun

Creating a Transfer

When there is more than one account created within Ovarun, Ovarun allows you to transfer funds. There are three primary ways of opening the transfer popup:

• A new Transfer tab will appear when creating a new transaction

• Long pressing the (+) button will allow you to transfer funds

• Editing an account will allow you to transfer funds

Repetitive Transfers

You can create a repetitive transfer by first adding a transfer transaction, then editing it to a 'repetitive' or 'upcoming' transaction type. Ovarun will prompt you to change both transfer transactions and the transfer will behave as such.

Transferring Funds to Goals or Loans

After creating a transfer, it creates 2 transactions - a transfer in and a transfer out. You can edit these transactions and add the respective transfer in or transfer out transaction to any goal/loan. Alternatively, you can manually create a transaction with the Balance Correction category emulating a transfer.

The next repetitive transaction in the sequence will only be created when you mark the current transaction (either as Paid or Skipped).

By default, overdue transactions (when the current date is past the set transactions date) are automatically paid. You can change this behavior by heading to More, Settings & Customization, More Options, Transactions: Auto Pay Transactions. You can press the action button in the transaction entry to mark it as paid immediately. Then it will create the next transaction in the cycle.

To create all future transactions, they will need to be marked as paid. By default they are marked as paid to the current date, not when the transaction is due. This can be changed by heading to More, Settings & Customization, More Options, Transactions: Paid Date set to Transaction Date. Now the upcoming repetitive transaction can be marked as paid and it will maintain its original due date, while creating the next in the sequence. These paid transactions will now count towards account and budget totals since it has been marked as paid.

Future Transaction Not Being Created

An upcoming transaction only creates its next future occurrence once. If the created future transaction was deleted, it won't automatically be recreated again. To force the transaction to create a new future transaction, you can change the upcoming transaction type to "Default" and then back to "Upcoming" / "Repetitive" / "Subscription" to ensure it will create the next transaction in the cycle when it is marked as "Paid" / "Skipped".

Ovarun does not offer transaction templates; however, frequently used transactions can be quickly added using the following methods:

• You can quickly make a copy of common transactions. After long pressing the plus button, you will see a list of commonly used transactions, tapping them will duplicate the transaction. If the amount differs, long press on the chip to customize the amount.

• Selecting (long pressing) a transaction will also allow you to duplicate the transaction (in the selected transaction top app bar). You can then edit the newly created transaction to your liking.

Tip: You can create duplicate transactions set to the current date and time by long pressing the duplicate option.

Tip: When editing the details of a transaction, to quickly set the date of a transaction to the current date and time, long press the date and time edit entry.

To exclude a transaction amount from all totals but still keep a transaction entry, you can edit the transaction of interest, scroll down and select More Options and toggle Include Amount. This setting is only available for Default transaction types.

To add to a budget, goal, or long-term loan without impacting your account balance, create a separate account dedicated to tracking your budget, goal, or long-term loan contribution transactions. Transactions added to this account will not affect other account balances. Once you create a transaction added to this extra account, you can organize it into your budget, goal or long-term loan of your choice.

To archive a budget, goal, or long-term loan you need to visit the edit data page for each. To visit the edit data page head to More, Budgets/Goals/Loans and tapping the 'Pencil' icon in the top right if needed. To archive a budget/goal/long-term loan you can toggle the 'eye' icon. This will make the archived item always listed at the end of lists during selections and fade out the option.

To remove a pinned budget, goal, or long-term loan on the homepage, you will need to edit the home page section separately.

Ovarun prioritizes efficient and straightforward transaction logging. If you need to divide a transaction among various categories, you can create separate transactions for each detail, enabling you to tailor your level of detail while maintaining a simple interface for all. Although it doesn't natively support splitting transactions across multiple categories, you have the freedom to log your spending as you see fit by adding individual transactions for each detail you wish to track.

To upgrade to Ovarun Pro Lifetime from a subscription you will need to cancel your current subscription. Data will not be lost/modified based on the status of the Ovarun Pro subscription. Once the term ends, you will be able to purchase Ovarun Pro Lifetime; or any other subscription option. This is to ensure each user gets the full term of Ovarun Pro they have paid for.

Each platform operates with its own billing system (iOS and Android), therefore it would need to be purchased separately on each platform. Every purchase of Ovarun Pro supports the app's development.

A purchased Ovarun Pro license can be shared between any number of devices using the same Apple ID Account through the App Store on iOS or can be shared between any number of devices using the same Ovarun account through the Play Store on Android. A Ovarun Pro license is linked to the account used on the Google Play or App Store, not to the account used within Ovarun - keep this in mind if you are trying to restore a license purchase.

The web app supports Ovarun Pro through account-based billing and entitlement sync.

Troubleshooting Restoring License Purchases on Android

A Ovarun Pro license is linked to the Ovarun Account used on the Google Play Store when the purchase was made. It is not necessarily related to the account used in the Ovarun app. When restoring a purchase on a different device, please make sure you are logged into the same Ovarun account in the Play Store that the purchase was made on for both devices and it is set as the primary account (the first account) on the Google Play Store.

Within the application you can tap 'restore purchases' to ping Google Services about your purchase. Again, ensure you are signed in to the correct Ovarun Account on the Play Store and it is selected as your primary account on the Google Play Store, not within Ovarun. The account within Ovarun does not impact the restoring of a license purchase - it is only related to cloud backups. You may need to contact Google Play support to inquire about your purchase if it was not successfully processed.

To customize the navigation tabs, long press each one to select the page of preference. You cannot change the last tab.

Note: You can only customize tabs while in mobile layout. When in fullscreen/landscape the side navigation menu cannot be customized.

When a transaction is selected you can duplicate the transaction (in the selected transaction top app bar). To duplicate the transactions to the current date and time, you can long press the duplicate option.

You can also quickly make a copy of common transactions by long pressing the plus button. You will see a list of commonly used transactions, tapping them will duplicate the transaction. If the amount differs, long press on the chip to customize the amount.

After long pressing the (+) button in the bottom right corner on most pages, you will be presented with more options to 'Add' things apart from the default transaction.

In the popup, you can easily create transfers between accounts or correct an accounts balance under the "Accounts" section. You can quickly duplicate common transactions by tapping the respective transaction chip under "Transactions". There are many other actions that can be performed in this menu.

Most UI elements can be 'long pressed' (a press and hold) to edit or perform an extra action. For example, long pressing a category when selecting one during a 'Select Category' popup, will allow you to edit that category.

Most amounts within Ovarun can be 'long pressed' (a press and hold) to copy the amount. When adding a transaction or entering an amount, you can long press to 'copy' or 'paste' amounts from your clipboard.

After selecting multiple transactions with a long press, you can share a breakdown of the selected transaction by tapping the total amount in the dropdown app bar. Alternatively, you can long press the total to copy the transactions breakdown to your clipboard.

To create transactions automatically, you can use the App Links API. For implementation details, contact support@ovarun.com and request the latest App Links guide.

Ovarun is built to make budgeting feel easy: log spending quickly, then see it show up in your totals and budgets. This quick start guide stays intentionally surface-level. If you want the deeper options, check the full guides below this section.

Quick Definitions

• Account - where money lives (bank, cash, credit card, savings). Every transaction belongs to one account.
• Primary Account - your main account. It's selected by default when adding transactions, and it sets the app's main currency currency used for totals and reports.
• Category - what the transaction is for (Groceries, Rent, Paycheck). Categories power reports and budgets.
• Transaction - one money event (income or expense) with an amount, date, account, and category.
• Budget - a limit (or target) over a time period that helps you track spending and stay on plan.

Step 1: Accounts

• A default account is created for you when you first open Ovarun.
• Go to the More tab page, and Edit Accounts to manage them.
• Tap an account to edit it (name, currency, color), or tap (+) to create a new one (Bank, Cash, Credit Card, etc.)
• Set your main account as the Primary Account (the starred one). This is the default when adding transactions, and sets the app's main currency for totals.

Using multiple accounts (like Bank + Credit Card) is encouraged. If you move money between them, use a transfer.

Step 2: A Simple Budget

• A default budget may already exist if you entered an initial budget amount during setup.
• Go to the More tab page, and Edit Budgets to manage them.
• Tap a budget to edit it (name, amount, color, time period), or tap (+) to create a new one.
• Want more details? See the full budgets guide.

The default budget type (All Transactions) automatically tracks spending (and/or income) by including transactions that match your budget's specifications. You don't need to manually add transactions - it updates itself as you create transactions. To control what transactions are included by default (like categories or accounts), edit the budget and its filters.

Step 3: Adding transactions

• Tap the (+) button on the main page.
• You will be prompted to enter a Title, to select a Category, and enter an Amount.
• Tap outside to close the sequence of questions at any time and fill in the transaction details manually.
• Create the transaction once completed - your totals and budget numbers update automatically.

Step 4: Budget Insights

• Open your budget to see your transactions counted (as long as they match that budget's filters).
• Check if you're on track using the budget spending graph.
• Use the pie chart to easily identify your biggest spending categories.
• Use the budget history to compare this period with past ones.

As you log transactions, your totals, charts, and budget insights will naturally fill in. Keep up a good habit!

That's the core flow: Account → Transaction → Budget → Insights. If you ever get stuck, the guides below cover everything in detail. Ovarun is designed so features reveal themselves as you need them - start simple, and explore the expansive feature set over time.

What is an Account?

An account represents a place where money is stored or spent from (e.g., bank, cash, credit card, savings). All transactions are saved against a single account, and reports/budgets roll up from those account balances. When you need to move money between accounts, use a transfer - see Transferring Funds Between Accounts.

Primary Account & App Currency

The selected account on the homepage, or the starred account on the "Edit Accounts" list page is the Primary Account.

The Primary Account determines:

• The default account selected when creating new transactions.
• The primary currency - totals and reports are shown in this currency.
• The target currency for conversions from other accounts. Amounts of different currencies will be converted to the Primary Account's currency for calculating totals.

To change the app's primary currency, edit the Primary Account and choose a currency. The Primary Account's becomes the application's display currency.

Multiple Currencies

Each account has one currency. Ovarun converts all account balances and totals to the Primary Account's currency for summaries and reports. Ovarun offers a convenient way to convert other currencies amounts to the Primary Account's currency - see Using Multiple Currencies.

When entering an amount, you can tap the currency conversion button to convert from the selected account into the primary currency in one step. You can also set custom rates in More, Accounts, Exchange Rates - see Custom Currencies.

Decimal Precision

Decimal precision controls how many digits you can enter after the decimal point for a given account. The setting is per account and applies when adding or editing transactions in that account. For example: a decimal precision of 5 allows amounts of "1.23456" or "1.234". A decimal precision of 2 allows for amounts of "1.23" or "1.20" or "1.00". A decimal precision of 0 only allows for whole numbers, such as "1" or "2". When displayed, amounts will be rounded to the chosen decimal precision.

Transfers Between Accounts

Use a Transfer to move money between two accounts. Ovarun creates a paired set of transactions and excludes them from income/expense totals, keeping reports and account totals accurate . Learn how to create transfers in Transferring Funds Between Accounts.

Tracking Credit Card Accounts

Create a dedicated account per credit card and log purchases to that account. "Pay" the credit card via transfers from your funding account. For the full guide: Tracking Credit Card Spending.

Balance Corrections & Account Totals

If an account's starting balance or running total needs adjustment, use a Balance Correction. This special category affects account totals without counting as income or expense, and is also used behind the scenes for transfers. Read about Balance Corrections: Balance Correction.

Net Worth Account Selection

Choose which accounts are included in the homepage Net Worth (and the time range) by long-pressing the Net Worth section or via Edit Home. See Net Worth Account Selection.

Creating, Editing, Archiving, and Managing Accounts

To create and edit accounts, go to More, Accounts. Here you can set the Primary Account. Each account has a color, currency, and decimal precision. You can Merge Accounts together in the Edit Account page - which transfers the transactions of one account into another.

What are Categories?

Categories organize your transactions. Every transaction requires a category.

Categories drive reports and budgets by grouping related spending and income. You can use categories to your advantage to set budgets for specific categories - see Category Spending Goals

Income and Expense Categories

When you create a category, you assign it a default Income or Expense. This default is applied automatically when you select the category while adding a transaction. However, after selecting a category when creating a transaction, it can be switched to any Income/Expense type.

For example:

• You can use a "Work" category for work income and work expenses
• "Bills & Fees" can include both expenses and earned money

Subcategories & Organization

Every category can have subcategories for further categorization. You can create a subcategory for a main category on the Edit Category page.

Special Case: Balance Correction

The Balance Correction category is a special category used by transfers and manual balance fixes. It affects account totals without being counted as income/expense in reports - see Balance Correction.

Creating, Editing, Archiving, and Managing Categories

To create and edit categories, go to More, Categories. Here, you can create new categories, change the order or edit a specific category. You can Merge Categories together in the Edit Category page - which transfers the transactions of one category into another. You can create a subcategory for a main category on the Edit Category page. You can also convert an existing main category into a subcategory from the Edit Category page.

What is a Budget?

A budget is a financial plan that outlines expected income or expenses over a specific period of time. It helps manage money by setting limits on spending, tracking financial goals, and ensuring that resources are used effectively. It allows the balance of what comes in with what goes out. Tracking finances over a period of time and analyzing the insights can produce a clearer understanding of spending habits, highlight areas for saving, and support smarter financial decision-making.

Ovarun is a budget tracking application after all, so let's take a deep dive into learning how to create and manage a budget within Ovarun in detail.

Creating a Budget

To create a budget, first open the Budgets page. Head to More, Budgets, and tap the (+) button.

Budget Types

There are two types of budgets in Ovarun: Added Only budget and an All Transactions budget. This cannot be changed after the budget is created. However, you can create multiple budgets within Ovarun.

Added Only Budget:

• Only the transactions you add
• Useful for one-time budgets with custom time periods
• Example: 'Vacation' budget

All Transactions Budget:

• All transactions that satisfy the set categories and filters will automatically be included
• Useful for long-term budgets over multiple periods
• Example: 'Monthly Spending' budget

General Budget Parameters

You can select if you want to budget for savings (positive cash flow, such as income) or budget for negative cash flow, such as expenses. Each budget has a name, color, amount/limit/target, and the start day and period which outlines the cycle.

Cycles and Time Periods

The cycle of a budget will always repeat and reset its cycle (unless the budget type is set to Custom). Past budget periods can be viewed once the cycle has elapsed by viewing the budget History. If you want a monthly repetitive budget to start on the 21st of the month, select any date with the day of the 21 (e.g., September 21) and [ / 1 month ] as the time frame. Ovarun will use the current period based on the current date from the start date you set.

To set a Custom time period for a budget, change the time frame from the default [ month] to [ custom ]. Custom time periods do not repeat. If you want full control over each budget time period and budget amount, use multiple custom time period budgets.

To set the period, you can choose a custom budget period (a time range between 2 dates) or an automatically recurring cycle, such as every 2 weeks, or every month.

"All Transactions" Budget Filters

For an all transactions budget, you can select the transactions to automatically include. For example, if you would like to include income in an expense budget (which will decrease the total spend, since the opposite polarity of transactions are included), you can select Income under Transactions to Include. Tap the (i) to read about each Transactions to Include filter. You can also select which categories to include or exclude from an all transactions budget, along with which accounts of transactions to be included.

Excluding Transactions From "All Transactions" Budget

Each transaction can also be manually excluded from an all transactions budget. To do this, edit the transaction of interest, scroll down, tap More Options, and select the budget you would like to exclude this transaction from.

Setting Up Category Spending Goals

Once you create a budget, you can set up smaller 'sub-budgets' or, as Ovarun calls them, Category Spending Goals to break down your spending for each category within an overall budget.

To add category spending goals, edit the budget and tap Set Category Spending Goals. Here you can set a percentage goal (percentage of the budget total) for each category or an absolute spending goal (actual amount of money). You can also apply these goals to subcategories and main categories. By long-pressing a category entry in the budget spending overview page below the pie chart, you can quickly modify the category spending goal to suit your spending needs.

Reading a Budget Graph

Ovarun adds useful indicators to help you track your spending trajectory. Within a budget spending breakdown, you will see a line graph showing the amount spent versus date through the budget period.

A dashed line is drawn on the current date and the average amount spent per day up to the current day. The intersection indicates where your spending should be at that given time for a budget to stay on track.

Viewing Past Budget Periods

You can tap the history icon to see past budget period breakdowns. You can only view the history of non-custom period budgets, since custom time period budgets do not repeat their cycle.

Separate Budget Amount per Period

A budget can only have one set target and it applies to all periods. You can change the budget amount at any time, it will just apply to previous periods as well. This is to encourage stable and healthy spending habits. However, Ovarun still allows you to have full control of each time period if you wish. If you want to individually track each period, you can create multiple custom time period budgets - each with a separate budget amount for the specified custom time period.

You can make a copy of a custom time period budget by editing an existing custom time period budget and tapping the "copy" button in the top right corner. This allows you to quickly customize a copy for a new period.

Creating, Editing, Archiving, and Managing Budgets

To create and edit budgets, go to More, Budgets. Here, you can create new budgets, change the order, edit a specific budget or archive a budget. When budgets are completed or no longer needed, they can be "archived" - see archiving.

What is a Goal?

A goal tracks progress toward a target amount (saving up or paying down). You add contributions as transactions, and Ovarun totals the cash flow assigned to that goal to show how close you are to the target.

How Goal Progress Is Calculated

Goal progress is the sum of transactions assigned to the goal compared against its target amount. Assign any transaction to a goal when creating or editing it. You can contribute from any account; totals are converted to the app's Primary Account's currency for consistency - see Primary Account for more information.

Savings And Expense Goals

Choose a goal type that matches the direction of cash flow you're tracking:

• Income Goal - Positive cash flow toward a target you're accumulating (e.g., Emergency Fund, Vacation). Contributions are income transactions increase progress toward the target.
• Expense Goal - Negative cash flow toward reducing something you owe (e.g., Paying down a balance or planned outlay). Contributions are expense transactions and increase progress toward the target.

Contributing to a Goal

When adding or editing a transaction, assign it to the goal by selecting the goal in the Add/Edit Transaction page.

Automate recurring contributions with repetitive/upcoming transactions - see Future Repetitive Transactions and Automatic Payments.

To transfer an amount from accounts to a goal, see Transferring Funds to Goals.

Tracking Without Affecting Main Account Balances

If you want goal contributions to not change your everyday account balances, create a dedicated separate "tracking" account and post goal-contribution transactions there. This keeps operational balances untouched while still recording goal progress. See: Add to a Goal Without Affecting Account Balance.

Transfer transactions can also be added to goals. Pair goals with transfers to reflect real money movements between funding and destination accounts.

Creating, Editing, Archiving, and Managing Goals

To create and edit goals, go to More, Goals. Here, you can create new goals, change the order, edit a specific goals or archive a goals. When goals are completed or no longer needed, they can be "archived" - see archiving.

Loans help you track when money is lent or borrowed and therefore track owed money. There are 2 types of loans in Ovarun. One-time loans and long-term loans. Loans can be managed on the More, Loans page within Ovarun.

One-Time Loans

One-time loans are set by changing the transaction type. These loan transactions can only be collected to the same account. A "lent" transaction is a negative cash flow until marked as "collected". This emulates receiving money (positive) until marked as collected, resulting in a net 0. A "borrowed" transaction is positive cash flow until marked as "settled". This emulates giving out money (negative) until marked as settled/received, resulting in a net 0.

Long-Term Loans

Long-term loans are more complicated than one-time loans, but support collection/settlement with different accounts across multiple transactions. Essentially, a long-term loan is a collection of transactions, displaying the difference. Long-term loan totals can change dynamically. When the net is 0 of all transactions included in a long-term loan, it is considered "settled/collected/paid off". Add transactions to a long-term loan to keep track of the loan total and payments.

Since a long-term loan is a collection of transactions, each transaction can belong to a different account - therefore supporting collections/settlements with different accounts.

To increase the long-term loan amount, add a transaction of the same polarity. For "Lent" loans, increase the loan amount by adding a "Paid" (negative) transaction. For "Borrowed" loans, increase the loan amount by adding a "Collected" (positive) transaction.

To add progress towards a loan, add a transaction with the opposite polarity. For "Lent" loans, decrease the loan amount by adding a "Collected" (positive) transaction. For "Borrowed" loans, increase the loan amount by adding a "Paid" (negative) transaction.

Example Long-Term Loan

For example, if you create a long-term loan of type "lent" of 50$. This will create the initial lent out "Paid" transaction of amount 50$. Then add a "Collected" transaction manually with amount of 20$. This will result in the net total being 30$ - and therefore 30$ left to be collected, displayed in the interface.

Note that the "Paid" and the "Collected" transaction can be have a different account, allowing you to separate the totals across multiple different accounts.

Say in this example, the long-term loan amount total needs to be increased to 60$ from 50$. Manually add a new "Paid" transaction to this long-term loan of amount 10$ and the total left to collect will increase by 10$. This results in the long-term loan totalling 60$.

If the type of long-term loan is switched to "Borrowed" instead of lent, the opposite polarity of transactions will be used to calculate the total.

Tip: In a long-term loan, you can also change the "Total Offset". The total offset will not count as a transaction, but will add to the total of the loan by some offset set. This is useful if you need to modify the total of the loan without adding a transaction affecting the net totals, for example to increase the loan amount due to interest or other unaccounted for costs modifying the total owed/lent out.

A "balance correction" within Ovarun is a powerful special type of transaction. It is a transaction that is not globally categorized by Ovarun as Income or Expense. By default, this special category does not exist - to let Ovarun create it, edit an account and perform a Transfer or Correct Total Balance.

Once it is created, it can be edited by the user and will still maintain its properties. The balance correction category has the following details:

Uses of the Balance Correction

The balance correction category is primarily used in Ovarun for Transfers and Balance Corrections of accounts - since these operations are not directly related to income or expenses. However, this category can manually be used to track refunds/returns/payments etc. - or transactions that would not be otherwise categorized as an income or expense directly.

Balance corrections also allow users to track credit card accounts and payments without affecting incoming or outgoing totals produced by categorized income and expense transactions. See: Tracking Credit Card Spending with Ovarun.

Ovarun only supports one currency per account. You can change the currency by editing an account.

To change the primary account's currency by heading to More, Accounts; the starred account represents the primary account and selected currency of the application. Ovarun will convert all currencies to this account.

However, if you need to enter a different currency with automatic conversion into another account, you can use the currency conversion button when entering an amount.

Make sure the primary account is selected to the currency you want to convert to. Then, select another account when entering an amount, and convert the amount back to the primary account with one tap.

In the example below, 'Bank (USD)' is our primary account, and we want to convert 50 EUR to USD using the conversion rate. We can do this by selecting 'Other (EUR)' and tapping the conversion button.

Using the currency conversion button will allow you to store the converted currency using the conversion rate at the current point in time, and to the target account's currency rate. Therefore if the currency rate changes, the converted amount will not since it has already been converted and stored in the transaction at that point in time.

Custom Currencies

You can customize the currency conversion rates by heading to More, Accounts, Exchange Rates. If a custom currency is not set, exchange rates are used and updated daily from https://github.com/fawazahmed0/exchange-api.

You can import a CSV (Excel) file list of transactions into Ovarun. You can import data in Ovarun by heading to More, Settings & Customization, and scrolling down to "Import & Export".

To import external data into Ovarun from other applications you will need to be able to extract data that can be manipulated into a CSV file Ovarun understands. To do this use the provided import templates:

Utilize Provided Templates

Use the provided CSV templates within the app for importing data. You may need to copy your data using Sheets or Excel into the template from an existing CSV file to the respective columns (especially if migrating from another application) to ensure the template format is used. This ensures a unified format that Ovarun can understand. Extra information below is provided on specific formatting of certain types of data.

To use the Google Sheet template, please make a copy before adding your transaction data. Follow this guide on how to make a copy of a Google Sheet.

Choose Import Method

You can import data in two ways:

• Using a CSV file locally
• Providing a link to a shared Google Sheet

Note: An import cannot be undone. Make sure to keep a backup of your data to revert an import. See: Cloud and Local Backups

Extra Importing Details and CSV Format

Ovarun offers 2 methods of backups: Ovarun Cloud Backups and Local Data File Backups. To create/import backups head to More, Settings & Customization, under the 'Backups' section.

A Ovarun backup file is a direct copy of the current app's database. It captures all data at that point in time, containing all budget data, transaction data, application settings etc. The database can be opened with an external SQL viewer tool. Please be advised if the backup file is tampered with, it may not be able to be successfully imported back into Ovarun.

Note: Keeping periodic backups keeps your data safe in the case of a corrupted file, accidental deletion, or if you need to restore your information on a new device.

Note: Restoring a backup will always overwrite all current data on target device. Before overwriting data, it is always recommended to keep an extra backup.

Note: Exporting and Importing CSV files as backups is NOT recommended. Ovarun does not export all app data nor does it import all app data when using CSV Importing and Exporting. For example, app settings are not exported to the CSV.

Local Backups

To create a local backup, head to More, Settings & Customization, under the 'Backups' section, tap Export Ovarun Data File and choose a location to save the backup file. Backups can be restored at any time.

To restore a local backup, head to More, Settings & Customization, under the 'Backups' section, tap Import Ovarun Data File and choose the backup file.

Cloud Backups

Cloud backups can be enabled by linking a Ovarun Cloud Account to Ovarun. To login, go to More and tap Login/Ovarun Cloud. Once logged in, you can create a cloud backup, restore a cloud backup, manage device sync data, and manage cloud backup files. Cloud backups can also be downloaded and saved to the device as a local backup to be restored at any time.

By default, only the latest 20 backups are stored on your Ovarun Cloud, with the oldest being deleted automatically. Each backup file is small and usually under 3 mb (0.003 GB) each.

Automatic cloud backups are enabled by default and will create periodic backups on login. You must be logged in for Ovarun to create these automatic backups.

Note: All cloud backups are stored on your Ovarun Account and the Ovarun development team does not have access to any of this information - see Privacy Policy.

Ovarun Cloud Permissions

Since cloud backups require Ovarun Cloud, you must provide Ovarun permission to create and manage its own application data on your Ovarun Cloud. If this permission is revoked, you may receive Error 403: Request had insufficient authentication scopes.

For cloud backups, Ovarun uses an application data folder inside your Ovarun Cloud and does not have access to any other files. The application data folder is a special hidden folder that Ovarun uses to store application-specific data and backups.

Accessing Ovarun's Ovarun Cloud Data

Connected app data is isolated from the standard cloud file browser for integrity and security reasons. You can only remove all your app data through Ovarun Cloud management, not view it. If you need to download a backup stored on your drive, Ovarun allows you to download these backups within the app itself.

Deleting Ovarun's Ovarun Cloud Data

See Deleting Ovarun's Ovarun Cloud Data.

Changing the Ovarun Account for Cloud Backups

If you need to use a different Ovarun account for cloud backups, open the Login/Ovarun Cloud page to access the account cloud backup page. From there, tap logout, and then log back in by opening the Login/Ovarun Cloud page again. When signing in again after logging out, you will be prompted to select which Ovarun account to use.

Note: Logging out only disconnects Ovarun from Ovarun Cloud. Your current app data will not be cleared when you log out.

Because your data remains on the device after logging out, logging in with a different Ovarun account will allow you to continue using your existing Ovarun data while storing future cloud backups and sync data under the newly signed-in Ovarun account.

If you want to remove cloud backup/app data that was stored under the previous Ovarun account, see Deleting Ovarun's Ovarun Cloud Data.

To delete all data in the app, go to More, About Ovarun, and scroll down to find Delete All Data.

This process will prompt you to delete sync data if you do not want it to be restored upon login.

After logging in again, Ovarun will attempt to restore sync backups. If you do not want your synced devices to be restored, you will need to delete them. Navigate to the account page, tap on Sync/Devices, and delete the sync backups.

Deleting Ovarun's Ovarun Cloud Data

Ovarun Cloud is used by Ovarun to store sync data and cloud backups. This data is stored and connected to your personal Ovarun account - the Ovarun development team does not have access to this data, and therefore it will need to be deleted manually by the user.

To delete all hidden Ovarun sync and backup data through Ovarun Cloud:

1. First note this will delete ALL cloud backups before proceeding.
2. Open a web browser (NOT the application or mobile website) and visit https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/settings while logged in to the Ovarun account you use with Ovarun.
3. Go to the Manage Apps tab.
4. Locate 'Ovarun'.
5. Click on Options.
6. Select Delete hidden app data.
