Question 1

Is myhishob free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, myhishob is 100% free forever — and that is not a marketing phrase with an asterisk. There are no hidden charges, no subscription fees, no premium tiers, and no features locked behind a paywall. Every feature in the app — expense tracking, income logging, budget setting, visual insights, family sharing, recurring entries, and multi-language support — is available to every user at no cost. We do not run ads inside the app and we do not sell your data to generate revenue. The app is free because personal finance tools should be accessible to every Indian, not just those who can afford a monthly subscription. We plan to keep myhishob free permanently.

Question 2

Which languages does myhishob support?

Accepted Answer

myhishob currently supports three Indian languages: English, Hindi, and Marathi. You can choose your preferred language during first launch, and switch it anytime from the app settings — the entire interface changes immediately, including all menus, labels, and prompts. Language support was a core design decision from the start. A large share of India does not primarily use English in daily life, and an expense tracker that only speaks English excludes homemakers, students, and working professionals who think and budget in their regional language. More languages are planned for future updates.

Question 3

Is my financial data safe?

Accepted Answer

Your financial data on myhishob is stored exclusively on Google Firebase servers in Mumbai, India (asia-south1 region), which means your data never leaves Indian soil. Firebase uses AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2 or higher in transit. myhishob does not collect your bank login credentials, SMS messages, UPI PIN, or any banking access at any point. The app works on a manual entry model: you type your expenses, we store them securely. We never sell your financial data to advertisers, insurers, or financial product companies. If you choose to delete your account, all your data is permanently removed from our servers within 30 days.

Question 4

Does myhishob work offline?

Accepted Answer

myhishob is designed with offline-first reading in mind. All your previously loaded expenses, income entries, budgets, and insights are cached locally on your device, so you can view your full financial picture even without an internet connection — useful in areas with patchy connectivity. The limitation is on write operations: adding a new expense, editing an entry, or deleting a record requires an internet connection, because those actions sync directly to your cloud account. The app shows a clear offline indicator when you are disconnected, and prompts you to reconnect before saving new entries.

Question 5

Where can I download myhishob?

Accepted Answer

myhishob is available on Android via the Google Play Store. You can search for 'myhishob' directly in the Play Store, or tap the Get the app button on this page to go directly to the listing. The app requires Android 6.0 or higher, which means it runs on most Android phones released in the last seven or eight years — including budget devices. The package name is com.myhishob.app. myhishob is currently Android-only. An iOS version is not available at this time. The app is free to download and free to use, with no in-app purchases.

Question 6

Can I track income and expenses both?

Accepted Answer

Yes, myhishob lets you log both income and expenses separately, so you can see a complete picture of your finances — not just where money goes, but where it comes from. You can categorise income by source (salary, freelance, business, rental, agricultural) and expenses by type (groceries, transport, rent, dining, medical). You can also create custom categories with your own name, icon, and colour. At the end of any period, myhishob shows your net savings — total income minus total expenses — alongside a breakdown of spending by category, so you can spot patterns and make better decisions.

Question 7

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

You can permanently delete your myhishob account directly from inside the app. Go to the Profile screen, scroll to the bottom, and tap Delete Account. You will be asked to confirm the action. Once confirmed, your account and all associated data — expenses, income records, categories, budgets, family group memberships, and profile information — are scheduled for permanent deletion from our Firebase servers. The deletion completes within 30 days. This process is irreversible: deleted data cannot be recovered. If you want to keep your data but stop using the app temporarily, you can simply log out without deleting your account.

Question 8

Does myhishob support multiple users or family tracking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, myhishob has a Family Group feature designed for households that share expenses. One person creates a family group and shares an invite code with other members. Once joined, all members can log family expenses that are visible to the whole group — useful for tracking shared household spending like groceries, rent, utilities, and outings. Personal expenses remain private to each individual and are never visible to other family members. This separation between personal and shared is intentional: financial privacy within a family is important, and myhishob never merges the two. The family group feature supports multiple members and there is no extra charge for using it.
