Privacy
Private budgeting app. Local-first by design.
Most budgeting apps treat your transactions as their data. Clarius treats them as yours.
Your phone is the database
Clarius uses an encrypted SQLite database stored on your device. There is no server-side copy of your transactions for solo users.
Biometric + PIN
Face ID / Touch ID unlock backed by a PIN. The PIN is stored as a SHA-256 hash, never plaintext.
Zero network calls
Solo mode literally makes no API calls. You can airplane-mode the app and it works perfectly.
You own your backups
Export an encrypted JSON backup with your own password. Save it to iCloud, Files, or anywhere you trust.
