Frequently asked questions

The honest answers — including the trade-offs that come with a truly private, local-first app.

Is Proof Panda free?

Yes. The app is free and the core features stay free. There's a single optional Pro unlock for a one-time $9.99 (no subscription) that adds unlimited bank-statement imports (your first 5 are free) and the tax ZIP bundle. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.

Where is my data stored?

On your device, and only your device. Proof Panda has no account, no servers, and no cloud — so we can't see, collect, or sell your data. Sensitive documents are encrypted at rest on your phone.

What happens if I lose my phone?

Because nothing lives on a server, your data lives with your device. Proof Panda has a built-in backup so you can export a copy you control and restore it on a new phone. If your device is lost and you have no backup, the data can't be recovered — that's the honest trade-off for true privacy, so we recommend backing up regularly.

Can I back up my vault?

Yes. You can export your data to a backup file that you keep wherever you like, and restore it later by importing that file. The backup is locked with four words that only you know, so keep them somewhere safe, away from the file. It's manual and entirely on your terms — nothing is uploaded automatically.

Can I use Proof Panda offline?

Completely. The whole app works without a connection — even receipt scanning runs on-device. The only thing the app sends is a check with Apple or Google on whether Pro is unlocked (and the purchase itself, if you buy Pro). Your receipts, documents and money details never leave your phone.

What documents can I store?

Receipts and warranties, plus a Proof Vault for IDs, passports, driver's licences, insurance, pet and medical records, vehicle documents, leases and home paperwork, certificates, and more.

Will there be an iPhone version?

Yes. Proof Panda is on Android first, via Google Play, and an iPhone version is on the way. It will need iOS 16 or later. We don't have a date to share yet. If you'd like to hear when it's out, let us know.
