Where Does EveryDollar Store Budgets and Data?
EveryDollar keeps budgets in your Ramsey account cloud, with phones holding session plus cache. Sign in restores everything.
Last updated
EveryDollar is a cloud budget with phone editing. Monthly budgets, transactions, and funds live in your Ramsey account. The app caches recent activity for offline entry. Bank import runs server side on paid tiers.
Same email means same budget. Exact cache folders shift with releases, so check App info for the installed package label before digging. For moves, sign in and let sync finish. A second login shows an empty trial that panics people needlessly.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move EveryDollar to a new phone?
Install EveryDollar on the new phone and sign in with the same Ramsey email. Budgets and transactions download from your account. Bank links refresh server side on paid plans. Confirm the month budget looks complete before wiping the old phone.
How do I export EveryDollar transactions?
Use the web app reports to export transactions for archiving. The phone cache holds no master ledger. Fund reassignments sync through the account, so exports are snapshots for spreadsheets rather than restorable backups.
