There are two different downloads, and they're for different jobs.
1. Export all data: a full CSV backup
Go to Settings > Your Data and tap Export All Data (CSV). You get a ZIP containing seven spreadsheet files:
- transactions.csv: every transaction, with who paid and how it was split
- budgets.csv
- goals.csv
- net-worth-assets.csv and net-worth-liabilities.csv
- rules.csv: your transaction rules
- settlements.csv: every payment recorded between you
This is the one to use for a backup, for your accountant, or if you ever want to move to another tool. It opens straight in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
2. Reports: PDF or CSV for one period
From the Reports page, tap the menu in the top corner and pick Export as PDF or Export as CSV. You get a category breakdown for whatever period and view you're currently looking at, so set the date range and the My Spending / Shared / Personal filter first.
The Settlement Report can be exported the same way, which is handy if you want a record of who owed what over a period.
There's also a one-tap Monthly Report (PDF) in Settings > Your Data. Pick a month and download it. The PDF is formatted and branded, so it's the one to send someone; the CSV is the one to do sums with.
Which should I use?
- Doing your taxes or seeing an accountant? Export All Data.
- Want to check one month's spending in a spreadsheet? Reports, export as CSV.
- Want something to read or send? Monthly Report PDF.
On mobile
Downloads open your phone's share sheet, so you can save the file to Files, send it to yourself, or drop it straight into email.
A note on Premium
Report exports are a Premium feature. Your data is always yours though: if you cancel, you keep access to Export All Data so you can always take everything with you.
