Backup and Restore

Your data is automatically synced with the HK Cloud when you are connected to the internet. You do not need to initiate this yourself unless you have an unstable connection or were recently disconnected. 

If you have unsynced data you will receive a pop up on the dashboard asking you to Back Up your data, tap on Back Up to start the process and it will sync in the background. Do not turn your application off during this process.

If you have any trouble, reach out to us at support@hysabkytab.com 

Please note: we no longer support Google Drive or iCloud back ups to back up or restore from. For the safest data protection please ensure your sync to the Hysab Kytab Cloud Server. 

While your data is always on your phone and consistently backed up to the Hysab Kytab Cloud Server, it is good practice to create a local backup storage file. To do that, tap on the menu icon on the top left of the screen, navigate to Settings, and scroll down to Backup & Restore. Under Device Storage, tap Back up to create a local file within your phone documents. This stores in a local directory typically in Device Storage -> Downloads -> HysabKytab -> Backup

To restore from this file, tap Restore, navigate to the directory and select the latest file. Your file will only be as updated as the date on it.

Getting Started

Starting your financial journey is super simple!

To keep track of your spending, you first need to set up an account to spend from!

Press the + button on the first card on your dashboard. Select an account type and add how much you have in this account. You’re all set to track your spending!

Track your spending through the + button at the bottom of the screen. Select whether this is something you’re spending (an expense) or something you’re receiving (an income), or even if this is a loan you’ve taken or given to someone.

Add in the amount, category, and account you’re spending from – and you’re all set to record your transaction! Want to add more details so you can recall the transaction better? No, problem! You can add in a description, labels, link a receipt from your storage, and even connect it to an event happening in your life.

Take this to the next level and add a budget to decide what you can spend this month. Scroll to the bottom of the dashboard and press Create next to Your Budgets. Select a category and an amount you don’t want to cross; this will create a monthly repeating budget for you.
