The app feels slow or shows old data — what should I do?

Pull down on the dashboard to refresh. If you’ve just signed in on a new device, give it a few seconds to download your history. On a computer, press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R for a fresh reload.

Why aren’t push notifications arriving?

Make sure you’ve added Novira to your home screen — push notifications need that. Then turn the master toggle on under Settings → Notifications, and confirm your phone’s system notification settings allow Novira. Quiet hours might also be silencing them.

An offline expense isn’t syncing — how do I fix it?

Open Settings → Data Management → Sync status. Anything that failed to send lives there with a Try Again button. If retrying doesn’t help, the message usually explains why — most often it’s a permissions issue.

How do I split an expense with friends?

In the Add Expense form, fill in the amount and details, then toggle Split. Pick the group or friends, choose how to split (evenly, by percentage, by shares, or custom amounts), and save. Each person sees their share appear on their balance.

How does Novira detect recurring subscriptions automatically?

Novira watches your last 90 days of spending. When it sees three or more transactions with the same name and similar amounts on a regular rhythm, it suggests tracking them as recurring. Confirm in one tap, dismiss if you don’t want it tracked.

How many currencies does Novira support?

20 currencies — INR, USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, SGD, VND, TWD, JPY, KRW, HKD, MYR, PHP, THB, CAD, AUD, MXN, BRL, IDR, AED. Each transaction can be in any of them with live exchange rates.

Does Novira work offline?

Yes. Add, edit, and delete transactions in airplane mode or with no signal. Changes are saved on your device and quietly sync the moment you’re back online.

How do I export my data?

Open Settings → Data Management. You can export your transactions as a spreadsheet (CSV) or PDF report, and your bills + goals + bucket dates as a calendar file you can open in Google, Apple, or Outlook calendar.

Getting started

Three minutes from sign-up to your first transaction. Novira works in any browser and installs as a real app on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows.

Create an account

1Open novira.one and tap Sign up. Use email + password, or one tap with Google.
2Pick a strong password — Novira shows a live checklist (length, uppercase, number, symbol). Email-only accounts can change this any time from Settings → Security.
3Confirm your email if asked. You’ll land on the dashboard with a friendly empty state and a “How to use” walkthrough.

Already have a Google account?

Tap Continue with Google on the sign-in page — no password to remember, and the same account works across every device.

Install Novira as an app

Novira lives in your browser, but you can also install it to your home screen with one tap — no app store needed. Once installed, it gets its own icon, works offline, and can send notifications, just like an app you’d download.

1iPhone / iPad: Open Novira in Safari → tap the Share button → Add to Home Screen.
2Android: Open in Chrome → tap the three-dot menu → Install app. (Novira will also show an install banner after a few seconds.)
3Mac / Windows: Click the install icon in the address bar (Chrome, Edge, Brave) — Novira opens in its own window with no address bar or menu buttons.

Why install?

The installed version gives you a real launch icon, keeps your offline changes safer, syncs in the background, and (if you choose) buzzes your phone with budget warnings and bill reminders.

Find your way around

On phones, the floating tab bar at the bottom is your main navigation — it auto-hides as you scroll down and slides back up when you scroll up. On desktop, the same tabs live in a top pill that collapses into a tidy circle once you start scrolling.

Home — your dashboard: budget, recent transactions, upcoming bills.
Add (+) — log a new expense or income.
Analytics — charts, trends, AI insights, what-if simulator.
Groups — friends, shared workspaces, settle-ups.
Subs — every recurring bill in one list.
Cash flow — calendar of upcoming events and bills.
Goals — savings goals with deposits and milestones.
Search — find any transaction, save filter presets.
Settings — profile, notifications, data export, more.

A handy shortcut

Each settings panel has its own web address — visit /settings#notifications to land directly on Notifications, or /settings#data to land on Import/Export. Bookmark the ones you visit a lot.

Anatomy of the dashboard

Workspace header

Your avatar, name, and the current workspace (Personal, your couple, your home, or a trip group). Tap to switch contexts.

Available this month

Big number showing what’s left of your monthly allowance, after spending and excluding anything you’ve marked as “not allowance”.

Spending overview

A monthly budget gauge with category breakdown — red when you’ve overshot, green when you’re on pace.

Focus selector

A pill that lets you pivot the dashboard to a single bucket (e.g. “Tokyo trip”). All charts and stats then show only that bucket’s data.

Recent transactions

The latest 100 transactions. Pull to refresh, swipe to edit, tap “Load more” for older entries.

Upcoming recurring

A small panel showing bills and subscriptions due in the next few days, with quick-pay shortcuts.

What-if & insights

Cards that surface as the system finds something useful: a category cut suggestion, a price-drift alert, a weekly recap.

Customize the layout

Open Settings → Dashboard layout to drag panels into the order you like, or hide ones you don’t use. Changes save to that device — set up a different layout on your phone vs. your laptop.

Privacy mode

Tap the eye icon in the dashboard header to blur every amount on screen — handy in coffee shops or shared screens. Tap again to reveal.

Quick gestures

Pull down from the top of the page to refresh.
Swipe left on any transaction to reveal Edit and Delete.
Tap the workspace pill in the header to switch between Personal, Couple, Home, and any group.
Tap “Focus” to lock the whole dashboard to a single bucket.

Money in & out

Adding transactionsOpen Add Expense

The most common thing you’ll do in Novira. The form is short, smart about defaults, and forgiving if you make a typo.

Open Add Expense

Amount

₹

Type a math expression with + - × ÷ — Novira shows the result and applies it when you tap away or press Enter.

Description

Where did you spend?

When you type a description Novira recognizes, it offers fills from your past expenses — one tap pulls in the category, payment method, location, and bucket all at once.

The fast path

1Tap + in the bottom bar (or Add in the desktop nav).
2Type the amount. You can type a math expression — 12.5 + 3.20 resolves to 15.70 on submit.
3Type a description (the “where”). Novira surfaces matching past transactions as one-tap chips that fill in your usual category, payment method, location, and bucket.
4Tap Save. Done. The form clears and you’re back where you came from.

Every field, in detail

Amount

Numbers and basic math. Currency picker next to the field changes which currency this transaction was in.

Currency

Defaults to your home currency. Pick from any of the 20 supported currencies for that single expense. The exchange rate at submission time is locked into the record so historical totals stay accurate.

Description

What it was, in your own words. Past descriptions appear as suggestion chips — tap one to apply its full set of defaults.

Editing and deleting

On any transaction row: swipe left to reveal Edit and Delete, or tap the row to open the details sheet. Splits, settlement transactions, and items added by other group members can’t be edited from your side — only by the original creator.
