Good to know

A ledger, not a bank.

Is any real money held here?+

No. Cents FYI records a family's understanding of a balance. It does not hold funds, transfer money, or replace a bank account.

Does my child need an email address?+

No. You can create a child ledger with only a name. Add a sign-in email later if they are ready for their own access.

Can another guardian help?+

Yes. Add their email to the family so they can record entries and see the same household history.

Does one plan cover the whole family?+

Yes. The subscription belongs to the household, not an individual child. Guardians manage billing for everyone in the family.

What if someone makes a mistake?+

Guardians can fix details such as the description, category, or place. Amount, direction, or date changes preserve the original beside its replacement, and an unwanted entry can be reversed without silently deleting the history.
