Frequently Asked Questions

Privora is a privacy-first personal management app for iPhone. It brings together 25 specialized modules across three hubs: Finance, Life, and Organize. Together they give you a single, secure place to manage expenses, warranties, debts, appointments, documents, projects, and more. Everything runs 100% offline on your device.

Privora includes 25 modules. In the Finance hub: Expense Tracker, Credit Cards, Debts & Loans, Refund Tracker, Buy Now Pay Later, Subscriptions, Home Bills, Split Tracker, and Business Billing. In the Life hub: Warranties, Car Maintenance, Home Maintenance, Healthcare, Documents, Home Inventory, Workout Tracker, and Laundry Services. In the Organize hub: Task Manager, Smart Notes, PDF Library, Image Library, Bookmarks, Secure Contacts, Projects Planner, and Shopping List.

Privora is currently available for iPhone only and requires iOS 26.2 or later. iPad and Android versions are not available at this time.

Privora supports English (default) and Arabic with full Right-to-Left (RTL) layout support.

Privora supports 18 currencies: AED, SAR, QAR, KWD, BHD, OMR, USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CNY, INR, CAD, AUD, SGD, HKD, BRL, and TRY. The default currency is AED, and you can change it during onboarding or at any time in Settings.

Yes. Privora includes nine Home Screen widgets: Subscriptions, BNPL, Refunds, Business Billing, Documents, Healthcare, Car Maintenance, Task Manager, and Shopping List. Each one is rendered from a local on-device snapshot, so no data leaves your iPhone to display them.

Yes. Privora ships with three hand-tuned color themes: Terracotta Orange (the default), Classic, and Midnight Indigo. Each is designed for both Light and Dark mode. The app follows your iPhone's Light or Dark appearance automatically. Choosing a theme is a premium feature, available in Settings.

No. Privora has zero analytics, zero tracking, and zero third-party data collection SDKs. The app does not collect, transmit, or store any user data on external servers. We don't know who you are, and we designed it that way.

Yes. All data is stored exclusively on your iPhone in an encrypted app sandbox. Privora never connects to the internet to send data, so there's no risk of interception. You can also lock the app with Face ID or your device passcode for an additional layer of protection.

No. There are no analytics platforms, crash reporting services, advertising frameworks, or any other tracking technologies in Privora. There is no user behavior tracking of any kind.

Privora uses Apple's Vision framework to read text from receipt photos and imported bank statement PDFs, extracting totals, dates, and merchant names automatically. This processing happens entirely on your iPhone. No image data or extracted text is ever sent to any server.

No. iOS restricts each app's data to its own sandboxed container. Other apps on your device cannot access anything stored in Privora. Secure Contacts is also completely isolated from the iOS Contacts system, so contacts saved in Privora are invisible to apps like WhatsApp, social media, and email clients.

Privora offers two subscription plans: $4.99/month or $19.99/year (save over 65%). Both plans give you full access to all 25 modules.

Yes. Privora includes a 14-day free trial so you can explore all 25 modules before committing to a subscription. No payment is charged during the trial period.

Since subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID, you can cancel at any time from your iPhone: go to Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions, find Privora, and tap "Cancel Subscription." You'll continue to have access until the end of your current billing period.

Open Privora and go to Settings. You'll find a "Restore Purchases" option that verifies your subscription status with the App Store. This is useful if you reinstall the app or switch to a new device.

Privora uses Apple's App Store for payment processing, so any payment method linked to your Apple ID is accepted, including credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and App Store gift cards. Privora never sees or stores your payment details.

Absolutely. Privora is designed to work entirely offline. Every feature operates on your device using Apple's native frameworks: receipt scanning, bank statement import, PDF generation, cost calculations, notifications, and data entry. No internet connection is required at any time.

Yes. Settings includes a full Backup Manager that packages all your records and their attachments into a single ZIP file, with the data in JSON format. It is created locally and shared using the standard iOS share sheet, so you can save it to Files, AirDrop it, or send it by email. Most modules also support their own PDF report export.

If you delete Privora, all data stored within the app is permanently removed from your device. Because there are no cloud backups or server copies, this deletion is final. We recommend creating a backup before uninstalling if you want to keep a copy.

Open Privora and go to Settings. You'll find an option to enable Face ID or device passcode lock. Once enabled, the app will require authentication each time you open it.

Backup Manager in Settings creates a single ZIP file containing all your records plus every attachment. Restoring offers two modes: Import replaces your current data, after showing a preview of exactly what the file contains. The preview lists modules, record counts, attachments, and the date it was created. Merge keeps everything you already have and adds only what is missing; where a record conflicts, the version already in Privora is kept. Note that backup files are not encrypted, so store them somewhere safe.

Yes. The Expense Tracker can read a bank eStatement PDF, including password-protected files, page by page on your device. It identifies each transaction, flags anything that needs a second look, checks the result against the statement's closing balance, and lets you review and edit every row before a single expense is saved. Nothing is uploaded, and a password is used only to unlock the file on your device. It is never stored.

Try these steps: (1) Make sure you're running iOS 26.2 or later. (2) Force-close Privora and reopen it. (3) Restart your iPhone. (4) Check for app updates in the App Store. If the issue persists, please contact us at help@privoraapp.com.

Go to Settings within Privora and tap "Restore Purchases." This re-verifies your subscription with the App Store. If the problem continues, make sure your Apple ID payment method is valid and that the subscription is active in your iPhone's Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
