Getting started
What is Dolly?＋
Dolly is an expense tracker and budget app for iPhone, now on the App Store. Android is in development.
Do I need to connect a bank account?＋
No. Dolly does not ask for bank login details or sync a bank account.
Can I use Dolly offline?＋
You can view the on-device ledger offline. AI features, exchange-rate retrieval and some account features need internet access.
Will Dolly be available on Android?＋
The Android version is in development.
Tracking expenses
Can Dolly reduce manual expense entry?＋
Yes. Eligible Apple Pay purchases, receipt scanning and statement import can reduce retyping, and you can edit or delete any record.
Can I use manual entry only?＋
Yes. The core ledger does not depend on Apple Pay, AI or statement import.
Can Dolly flag possible duplicates?＋
Yes. It can show transactions that may overlap, but it does not delete anything automatically.
Budget, savings and travel
Is Dolly a budget app?＋
Yes. Set a monthly budget and compare it with spending recorded in Dolly.
Can I track savings goals?＋
Yes. You can create up to 3 manually updated savings goals without a subscription; Go and Pro remove the limit. Dolly does not move money.
Can I track travel spending in foreign currencies?＋
Yes. Travel mode supports organization and conversion across 153 currencies while keeping the original currency.
Data and privacy
Where is my ledger stored?＋
The full ledger is stored in an encrypted database on your device.
What data do AI features use?＋
It depends on the feature: a receipt image, a statement PDF, a spending summary, transactions relevant to a question, or—for Pro tap categorisation on iPhone—the merchant name, amount and currency of an Apple Pay payment.
Can I export my data?＋
Yes. CSV export is available to everyone; PDF reports need Go or Pro. Receipt images are not included.
Trial and subscriptions
How does the 7-day free trial work?＋
Eligible new users can try Dolly Pro free for 7 days through the App Store. A valid payment method is required. If you don't want to continue, cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends; otherwise, the subscription renews automatically at the price and billing period shown on the purchase screen.
Where can I see the price and billing period?＋
The App Store purchase screen shows the applicable price and billing period before you confirm.
Support, languages and deletion
Which card statements are supported?＋
Dolly can process supported PDFs, but not every issuer or format. Support is shown during import.
Which languages does Dolly support?＋
English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.
Can I delete my account and data?＋
You can delete individual records or your account in the App. Deleting your account also clears the ledger records available in the App on that device. To remove Dolly's remaining local app data, remove Dolly from your device. If you need help, contact [email protected].
