Using Finthy on mobile devices

Finthy runs in your phone’s browser today, at app.finthy.com. There is no native app in the App Store or Google Play; iOS and Android apps are on our roadmap.

This is not a cut-down version. It is the same application you use on a desktop, so it is the same account and the same data, not a copy that has to be kept in step.

What you need

A modern mobile browser. iOS Safari, Chrome on Android and the other current browsers all work. Nothing to install.

For quicker access, add Finthy to your home screen; most mobile browsers can save it as an icon, which gives you one-tap access without going through the browser’s address bar.

Signing in

The same credentials as on a desktop: your email and password, or a passkey if you have added one. There is no “sign in with Google” option in Finthy, on any device.

Passkeys depend on the browser. If yours does not support them, Finthy says so and you can sign in with your password instead.

What works well on a phone

  • Everything you read: the dashboard, accounts, transactions, budgets, reports and the calendar.
  • Adding and editing transactions by hand, which is the thing most worth doing on a phone, because you can record a cash payment at the moment it happens.
  • Importing a statement, including a photo of one. Finthy accepts JPG, PNG and HEIC as well as PDF, CSV, OFX, QFX and XLSX, up to 10 MB, and reads them with AI. Photographing a paper statement with the phone you are already holding is often faster than finding the file on a computer.
  • Connecting and managing banks, and your subscription and account settings.

What needs a desktop

The Finthy browser extension, which covers Banamex, Banorte and HSBC México. It is a Chrome extension and cannot run in a mobile browser, so those three banks cannot be synced from a phone. You can still add their accounts and import statements from a phone.

Where the native apps stand

A Finthy app for iPhone, iPad and Android is on our roadmap and has not been released to either store. When it arrives it will use the same account and the same data as the web, so there will be nothing to migrate: you sign in and carry on.

Because it is not out yet, nothing in Finthy’s help centre should tell you to open an app, find a tab in one, or restore a purchase through a store. If you read that anywhere, it is out of date.

Good to know

  • A narrow screen hides nothing permanently. Tables and charts reflow rather than drop columns; rotating the phone or switching to a desktop shows the same figures.
  • Statement imports are limited by plan, not by device. The free plan includes one statement import per account each month whether you upload from a phone or a desktop.
