Kentrove is a private, local-first expense tracker that helps you take control of your money without giving up your data. Every transaction, every budget, every receipt stays on your device. There's no account to create, no password to remember, and no server holding your financial life. When you want a safety net, optional iCloud Backup keeps an encrypted copy in your own iCloud account β invisible to us, accessible only to you. β WHY KENTROVE β β’ No sign-in. Open the app and start tracking. Ever. β’ Local-first. Your data lives on your device in an encrypted database, not on our servers. β’ Your cloud, your control. Backups go to your own iCloud account using Apple's encrypted CloudDocuments service. β’ No subscription required for core tracking. β’ Built for the way real people manage money β not for spreadsheet enthusiasts. β WHAT YOU CAN DO β β’ TRANSACTIONS β Add income and expenses in seconds. Attach a receipt photo. Categorize at a glance. β’ ACCOUNTS β Track bank accounts, cards, wallets, and cash in one place. Get a clear picture of where your money actually is. β’ BUDGETS β Set monthly or custom budgets per category. See exactly how much room you have left before payday. β’ EMIs & LOANS β Track every EMI, due date, and remaining principal. Never miss a payment. β’ GOALS β Save for what matters. Set a target, contribute regularly, watch progress build. β’ ATTACHMENTS β Snap a photo of any receipt, bill, or document and attach it to the transaction. All stored locally on your device. β’ INSIGHTS β Clear charts and breakdowns by category, month, and account. Spot patterns. Understand habits. β’ CLOUD BACKUP β Optional, one-tap iCloud Backup. Switch devices, recover from a reset, restore in one tap. Your backup lives in your own iCloud β we never see it. β PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY β Most "private" apps still ship your data to their servers. Kentrove doesn't have servers for your data. Your financial records never leave your device unless you explicitly back them up to your own iCloud. We use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics for anonymous usage statistics and crash reports β nothing that identifies you, because there's no account to tie data to. β SUPPORT β Questions, feedback, or feature requests?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kentrove at none against Comfy Budgets's 2. Kentrove also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Comfy Budgets's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
