Everything you need to know about Pocket Log's features, backup, and privacy.
Pocket Log is built with a local-first architecture. All core features—such as recording transactions, calculating debt balances, viewing analytics, managing budgets, and exporting PDF reports—work completely without an active internet connection.
An internet connection is only used if you explicitly enable the optional Google Drive Cloud Backup feature to sync your backup archives to your personal Google Drive account.
No, Pocket Log cannot see or touch any other files in your Google Drive. We strictly request the restricted drive.appdata OAuth scope.
This scope grants access exclusively to a hidden, dedicated application folder that Google creates for Pocket Log. The communication occurs directly between your phone and Google's official Drive API endpoints over HTTPS. The developer operates no proxy servers and never sees your backup files.
Under the Debt section, you can add profiles for people you've lent money to or borrowed from. For each person, Pocket Log maintains an itemized ledger calculating:
When exporting a PDF financial statement, every person's individual statistics are neatly printed in a dedicated table followed by a clear Grand Total.
Never. Pocket Log does not integrate with banking aggregators like Plaid or require your bank login details. You manually create custom balance source labels (like "Cash", "Bank", or "bKash") to organize your own finances safely.
You have two easy methods:
Because Pocket Log does not operate remote user accounts, deleting your data is instantaneous. You can wipe all records in Settings > Data Management > Clear All Data, delete the Google Drive backup file with one tap, or uninstall the app. For detailed step-by-step instructions, please view our Account & Data Deletion Policy.
