Would you give up bank sync for a money app that cannot read your data?

by•

Hi everyone, George here, founder of Turbobulls.

Most money apps connect to your bank and keep a readable copy of everything on their servers. It is convenient, and it also means the company, and anyone who breaks in, can see what you spend and what you own.

We went the other way: everything is encrypted on your device before it is saved, so we cannot read it. The price is real. There is no automatic bank sync, you import the file your bank already gives you. And if you forget your password, we cannot reset it, there is a recovery key instead.

So I am genuinely curious:

- Would you trade automatic sync for that kind of privacy, or is sync the whole point for you?

- If a finance app cannot reset your password, does that make you trust it more or less?

We launched Turbobulls 2.0 today, built around exactly this trade-off, if you want to see how it feels:

There is also a demo with sample data, no sign-up needed.

If the app cannot reset my password, I trust it more, honestly. I like knowing my password isn't sitting on the servers, so the risk of a data leak is much lower in my opinion.
