Mobile App
Cadence Money on your phone: same account, same data, better gestures.
Updated
Installing the App
The Cadence Money apps for iPhone, iPad and Android are live on the App Store and Google Play. Install them from the download page, or search “Cadence Money” on your device.
Optional betas run through Apple TestFlight and Google Play testing if you want upcoming features first - you can join either from the download page too. You can also use Cadence Money in full on the web.
Most people use both: the web for setting things up and reading reports, the app for quick check-ins and tagging transactions on the go.
Signing In or Signing Up
Use your existing Cadence Money email and password. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you will be prompted for a code on first launch. Sessions persist between launches, so you will not type your password every time - the app remembers you until you sign out or the session expires.
New to Cadence Money? The sign-in screen ends with Need an account? Sign up here. on both iPhone and Android, which opens the signup form in the app. Resetting a forgotten password works from the app too. See Signing In.
In the apps you buy through the store
A plan bought inside the app goes through the App Store or Google Play rather than by card, so the free-trial length is whatever that store’s own introductory offer gives you, and the store decides whether you qualify for one. Signing up on the web uses card checkout with a 14-day trial. Either way it is the same Cadence Money account.
Face ID and Device Biometrics
On iOS, Face ID can protect the app whenever it returns from the background. On Android, the system biometric prompt does the same job with a fingerprint or face unlock. Once enabled, someone holding your unlocked phone still cannot open Cadence Money.
- Open Settings → Security in the mobile app.
- Toggle on the biometric row. It is named after whatever your device uses, so it reads Face ID or Touch ID on an iPhone or iPad and Biometrics on Android, with Sign in with biometrics underneath.
- Confirm the system prompt the first time it asks.
The prompt fires when you first open the app and again when it has been in the background for more than 30 minutes. If biometrics fail, you can fall back to your password.
Tip
Enable it even if you plan to stay signed in. It is the difference between a phone thief seeing your spending and seeing nothing at all.
Push Notifications
Push is how Cadence Money reaches you when a bill is due or an important insight is ready. The first time you launch the app you will see the system permission prompt - granting it is the easiest path.
Fine-tune which alerts you receive in Settings → Notifications, where they are grouped into six categories. See Notifications for the full list.
Gestures the Web Does Not Have
- Swipe left or right between sub-tabs within a section.
- Pull down on any list to refresh from the server. There is no refresh button; the pull is the gesture.
- Long-press a transaction to enter multi-select and bulk edit several at once.
- Swipe a transaction row sideways to reveal quick actions.
These make the app considerably faster for routine work like clearing a backlog of new transactions.
