hello@thepurplebrock.comCommon questions
How is "safe to spend today" worked out?
The app takes the money you have until payday, sets aside the bills still to come, and splits the rest evenly over the days left — including today. Spend less today and tomorrow's number goes up; spend more and it comes down.
What happens on payday?
A fresh stretch starts. The app shows how the last one went — what you stashed and the Badger Days you earned — and checks that your pay landed as expected so you can correct it for this payday if it was different.
What if my payday falls on a weekend?
The app asks whether you're paid the Friday before or on the day itself, just for that month.
My bank balance doesn't match the app.
It happens — a bill might have come out a little different. Go to Settings → Adjust balance and enter your real balance, or use Quick adjustment to nudge it by an amount. Neither changes your daily target.
How do I change my payday or start over?
Settings → Change payday starts a fresh budget from today and keeps your bills, target and streaks. Settings → Reset all data wipes everything.
Can I lock the app with Face ID?
Yes — on iOS 18 or later, press and hold the Purple Brock icon on your Home Screen and choose Require Face ID. That also hides its notifications and Siri suggestions.
Where is my data? Can you see it?
Only on your iPhone. We can't see it — the app never sends it anywhere. If you delete the app, your data goes with it. See the privacy policy.
Can I change the currency?
Yes — Settings → Region sets your currency and number format. It changes how amounts look; it doesn't convert them.
