Hide amounts with Privacy mode

Privacy mode blurs money amounts on screen. Use it when you share your screen or look at your budget in a public place.

Turn Privacy mode on or off

On a computer:

1. Select your initial or name at the bottom of the sidebar.
2. Choose Privacy mode off. The item names the current setting. The menu closes and amounts blur.

To turn it off, open the same menu and choose Privacy mode on.

On a phone:

1. Select the eye button on the right of the top bar. Amounts blur and the eye is crossed out.
2. Select the button again to turn Privacy mode off.

On any device, you can also use the button in the Privacy mode card on the Settings page. See Settings.

What it blurs

Privacy mode blurs every money amount: in tables, cards, sentences, report charts and the boxes where you enter or edit an amount. In a sentence or a label, only the amount blurs. In "of $16,778.43 budgeted" and "Budgeted: $4,200.00", for example, the words stay readable. On some reports, percentages blur too, with or without an amount next to them: for example the "42% left over" figure on the Where income goes card on the Reports page. A few labels still blur as a whole: for example the number of selected transactions, a yearly rate on a projection, and the "over pace" or "under pace" label on the Plan vs actual pace chart. It also blurs some dates, such as the next dates on Schedules and the dates in the Scheduled section of the transaction list. Names, categories and the other dates in the transaction list stay readable. Printed pages show amounts without the blur.

To read one amount, point at it with a mouse. It shows while the pointer is on it.

An amount box shows its value while the cursor is in it, and blurs again when you leave it. A box with nothing in it stays readable, so you can still read its label.

Where the setting is saved

Privacy mode is saved in your browser, not in your account. It does not carry over to another browser or device. It stays on if you log out.
