Storage and privacy

Saved data and browser storage

The Daily Expense Tracker keeps saved expense entries in your browser. The calculators use the values you enter only to show results on the page.

Where are my saved expenses stored?

They are saved in your current browser using localStorage. They are not saved in a Household Expense Tools account or backend database.

What is localStorage?

localStorage is a storage area inside your browser. It lets a website remember simple data on the same browser and device.

Are my expenses sent to a server?

The current tool does not send saved expense entries to a Household Expense Tools backend server.

Will my saved expenses appear on another phone or computer?

No. The current tool does not sync entries across devices or browsers because there is no account system.

Can my saved entries disappear?

Does the site use analytics or tracking?
