Frequently Asked Questions

Is DonNote free?
Yes. DonNote is free to download with all core features included: transaction logging, asset management, statistics, and iCloud sync. To remove ads and support the developer, you can subscribe to Premium.
How much is the Premium subscription?
Premium is available at ₩2,500 / month or ₩20,000 / year (≈ ₩1,667/month, 33% off). Subscribing removes all ads across the app.
Can I use the app across multiple devices?
Yes. Transactions, assets, and categories sync automatically across iPhone and iPad signed in to the same Apple ID via iCloud. No separate sign-up required.
How do I record credit card installments?
Select a credit card as the payment method on the transaction screen, then choose installment months (2–24) and annual interest rate. Per-installment transactions are automatically generated monthly, using equal-principal repayment with interest on remaining balance.
How do I log loan principal repayment?
Use a transfer transaction. Select your bank account as the "from" asset and the loan as the "to" asset. The loan balance decreases as you repay the principal.
How are asset balances calculated?
Balances update automatically when you log transactions. Expenses decrease the asset's balance; income increases it. Transfers decrease the source and increase the destination. Edits and deletes adjust balances accordingly.
Can I export my data?
Yes. From Settings, you can export transactions to Excel-compatible CSV, or back up all data as JSON. JSON backups can be restored within the app.
Can I lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID?
Yes. Enable biometric lock under Settings → Security. The app locks when sent to background, and sensitive information is hidden until unlocked.
Can I customize categories?
Yes. Add, edit, delete, and reorder categories from Settings → Category Management. Choose your own emojis and colors. You can also create new categories instantly from the transaction screen.
Does it support foreign currencies?
Yes. Assets can be set to USD, JPY, and other currencies. Exchange rates are fetched automatically for KRW conversion display. The rate at the time of each transaction is snapshotted, so historical KRW values stay accurate.
