Frequently asked questions

What is Daycap?

Daycap is a simple budget tracker for a fixed period. You answer two questions — how much money you have and until what date — and the app shows one number: how much you can spend today to make it to the end of the period.

No spreadsheets, no bank connections — and categories only if you want them. Perfect for a vacation, a trip, or stretching money until the next paycheck.

How is today's number calculated?

The remaining amount is divided by the number of days left in the period. Every expense you add updates the number instantly.

Spend less than your daily allowance today — and tomorrow’s number grows. Overspend — and the app evens it out over the remaining days.

Can I change the amount or the end date mid-period?

Yes. The end date can be changed any time in Settings → “Period” → “Until”. The amount isn’t edited by hand — it changes through entries. If you got extra money, tap “Log expense” on the main screen and pick “Income”. All numbers are recalculated on the spot.

I added a wrong expense. How do I fix it?

Open History, find the entry and delete it — the amount returns to your budget immediately.

Where is my data stored?

On your device and in your personal iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, Daycap syncs your budget, expenses and settings through Apple iCloud (a private CloudKit database), so your data stays with you across your devices and after reinstalling the app.

Only you can access it — through your Apple account. We have no servers, no accounts of our own, and we never see your data. Details in our Privacy Policy.

Is there a home screen widget?

Yes. Long-press your home screen, tap “+”, search for Daycap and add the widget — it shows today’s remaining budget at a glance.

What happens when the period ends?

Daycap asks you to pick a new end date — your money stays in the wallet and is simply spread across the new days. Your spending history is kept too — it never disappears when a period ends.

Is Daycap free? What is Daycap Pro?

Everything Daycap did before version 2.3 stays free: the daily number, history, automatic expenses, Apple Pay auto-logging, widgets, Apple Watch and iCloud sync. No ads, no accounts.

Daycap Pro adds envelopes (a separate budget for anything), pots (money set aside, with an optional goal and a per-day plan) and sending the day’s savings straight into a pot. Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription with a free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase — prices are shown in the app and in the App Store.

How do I cancel the subscription or get Pro back on a new phone?

The subscription is managed by Apple. Cancel it in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or in Daycap → Settings → Daycap Pro → “Manage subscription”. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends and you won’t be charged.

On a new device go to Daycap → Settings → Daycap Pro and tap “Restore purchases” — Pro is tied to your Apple Account. If Pro ends, your pots and envelopes stay visible and you can move their money back to the budget any time.
