ZeniCash help
These guides are organised by the problem you are trying to solve, not by the menu the feature lives in. Each one describes only what the app actually does, with the exact wording you will see on screen.
Setting ZeniCash up for the first time? Start with the Quick Start — seven small decisions, in the order the app asks them.
Every day: logging money and knowing where it went
The movements themselves, the receipts behind them, and the accounts and categories that give them shape.
-
Logging income, expenses and transfers in seconds
The form, the fields worth switching on, the Professional mark, attachments — and why a movement is never dated in the future.
-
Scanning a receipt so it reads and files itself
Aim the camera and the supplier, tax number, number, date and amount are read on the phone before the photo is taken. What is free, what is Premium, where the files go.
-
Bank accounts, cards and cash — overdrafts and limits
Banks, cards and cash in any currency, opening balance, overdraft and credit limit, naming, and why two accounts may share a name.
-
Categories, subcategories and projects
Categories with subcategories, and projects that total a job or a client across categories and months.
-
Reports: what each one answers
What each report answers — by category, entity, project, business against personal — and why a report shows one currency at a time.
Money owed to you, and money you owe
Customers, suppliers and their current accounts: invoices, bills, advances, credit notes, and the alerts before a due date.
-
Recording invoices and bills, and getting paid
Record the invoices you issue and the bills you receive, settle them in one or several payments, read each entity's statement. What ZeniCash does not do with invoices.
-
Lending money and keeping the real category
Lending to a friend, or paying a company expense out of your own pocket: keeping the debt visible on the entity's current account while the expense keeps its real category.
-
Being warned before a bill or a contract falls due
Two alerts per document — days before and on the day — and what the dashboard bell shows.
Business and personal in one book
One app for both lives, or for one of them only — and everything the accountant needs in a single file.
-
Keeping business and personal money apart in one app
The Professional mark, the three modes (Both, Personal only, Business only), My business with logo, and what reports and the package do with it.
-
Handing everything to the accountant in one file
One ZIP: a PDF per movement by account, the invoice documents, and a spreadsheet of every statement. Two document styles, saved choices.
Looking ahead
Will there be money at the end of the month, what repeats, and what is coming once.
-
Will there be money at the end of the month? Cash flow and budgets
A forecast from what is recorded, what repeats, what is due and what you plan — with a warning before the balance goes negative. Budgets that warn at 80 %.
-
Rent, subscriptions and the calendar — movements that repeat
Rent, subscriptions, instalments and a loan that ends; why nothing is recorded without confirmation; paying ahead; the calendar.
More than one currency
Accounts, customers and invoices each in their own currency, and a total that does not lie.
The same data on more than one device
Sharing your records across phones — and knowing what sync does and does not carry.
The same book, shared with other people
Working on one set of accounts with a partner, a family or a team — and knowing what they can see.
Getting data in, keeping it safe, and the plans
Spreadsheets and bank statements, the lock and the backup, and the exact line between free and Premium.
-
Bringing data in from a spreadsheet, and reconciling with the bank
The template, why the import creates nothing and lists what is missing, invoices with their payments, transfers between currencies, and reconciling with the bank.
-
PIN lock, backups, and deleting your account
PIN and recovery code, what leaves the phone and when, backup and restore, deleting the account.
-
Free vs Premium: exactly what changes
Everything the free plan does, forever and without ads, and everything Premium adds.
