What is in Settings
Section titled “What is in Settings”Settings holds the decisions that are about your account rather than about your money: who else is in your household, how you sign in, which accounts feed Safe to Spend, your plan, and getting a copy of your data.
Most settings are not in Settings
Section titled “Most settings are not in Settings”This is worth knowing before you go looking. Tovari deliberately keeps a setting next to the thing it affects, so the great majority of what you can change lives on the feature’s own screen rather than here — whether an account counts toward Safe to Spend is on the account, whether a category is budgeted is on the budget, and how your register is filtered and sorted is on the register.
If a setting is not in Settings, look at the thing it changes.
Finding it
Section titled “Finding it”Settings is in the left-hand navigation. It opens with a list of sections down the side.
The sections
Section titled “The sections”| Section | What is in it |
|---|---|
| Security | Two-factor authentication — turning it on, and turning it off. |
| Household | Who shares your books, and inviting or removing someone. |
| Safe to Spend | How your Safe to Spend number is worked out. |
| Billing | Your plan and its status. |
| Data & Privacy | Downloading a copy of your data, and how to ask for erasure. |
| Profile | The account you’re signed in as — name, email and household role, read-only. |
On a phone browser
Section titled “On a phone browser”All six sections are here in the phone-browser layout, as a list of cards you open one at a time rather than a side rail. Setting up two-factor is possible here, but scanning a QR code from the same phone that is displaying it is awkward — a computer is easier.
Finding it
Section titled “Finding it”Settings is in the app’s navigation, laid out as a list of cards.
The sections
Section titled “The sections”The app carries a subset of the web app’s settings:
| Section | What is in it |
|---|---|
| Security | Unlocking the app with Face ID or Touch ID, on devices that support it. |
| Household | Who shares your books, and inviting or removing someone. |
| Safe to Spend | How your Safe to Spend number is worked out. |
| Billing | Your plan and its status. |
Signing out is here too, at the bottom.
The app’s Security section is not the same as the web app’s: here it is a single toggle for Face ID or Touch ID unlock (see signing in); turning two-factor authentication on or off is still done in the web app.
What the app does not do
Section titled “What the app does not do”Two sections are web-only. Data & Privacy — downloading a copy of your data — and Profile — the account you’re signed in as — are both in the web app, on a computer or in a phone browser. Turning two-factor authentication on or off is also web-only; completing a two-factor code when you sign in works in the app, it is only the setting up and removing that is elsewhere.
