What can I spend today without going broke before payday?
Email phophooe@gmail.com — please include your iOS version and what you were doing when it went wrong.
Does Spendable connect to my bank? No. There is no bank login and no server. You type your balance; nothing leaves your phone.
Why did my number change after I edited my balance? Correcting the balance is the one action that deliberately re-locks today’s target — it recalculates around the true figure. Logging a spend never moves the target; it only uses it up.
Why is my number zero? Your balance doesn’t yet cover the bills due before payday plus your buffer. Today’s screen shows how much you’re short. Nothing is safe to spend until that gap closes.
Payday arrived — what do I do? Open the app and tap the payday card. Read your real balance from your banking app and type it in. That single number starts the next cycle.
I got paid early / late. Settings → Next payday to move the date. The pay cycle setting moves it forward automatically after that.
I paid a bill — why didn’t my daily number go up? Because it shouldn’t. That money was already ring-fenced and was never offered to you. Paying it lowers your balance and your reserved total together.
My widget is blank or stale. Widgets need Spendable Plus. If you have Plus, open the app once — that pushes a fresh snapshot — then remove and re-add the widget.
I subscribed but Plus isn’t active. Settings → Restore purchases. This is also the fix if you redeemed a code outside the app.
How do I cancel? iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Spendable. Cancelling stops future renewals; Plus stays active until the period ends.
How do I delete everything? Settings → Erase all data, or delete the app. Both are immediate and permanent, and there is no copy anywhere else.
