For a quick answer it helps to include your device (iPhone or iPad), the iOS version and the Budgetbox version (shown under Settings → “Über Budgetbox”), and what exactly happens.
What is Budgetbox?
Budgetbox is a budget planning app for iPhone and iPad. It has three areas: Plan, Auswertung (evaluation) and Einstellungen (settings). You work with income (Einnahmen), categories (Rubriken) and surplus (Überschuss), with three variants and formulas, for one or two people. Optionally the app syncs through iCloud.
Do I need an account?
No. Budgetbox needs no account and no sign-in and does not use a G-Tools server.
Where is my data and how do my devices sync?
Your data is stored locally on the device, in a file in the app’s storage. Optionally Budgetbox syncs through Apple’s iCloud Key-Value store (NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore) of the same Apple ID, so several devices of that Apple ID can share the same state. There is no CloudKit and no web sync. Without iCloud the app remains fully usable, with data only on the device.
Apart from the optional iCloud sync, the app has no network access. The links in Settings (website and privacy policy) open in the system browser.
How do I delete my data?
Under Settings → Daten → “Aktuellen Plan zurücksetzen” you reset the currently active variant only. To remove everything, delete the app. iCloud data can additionally be removed via the iOS settings (Apple ID → iCloud) if needed.
Can I export or share my data?
No. Budgetbox offers no export, import or sharing — there is no share sheet, no file export and no CSV. Printing is possible locally on the device.
Budgetbox contains no tracking and no ads. Details: privacy policy (German, with an English summary), legal notice.
