5 answersHow do I edit a transaction?
On the web, open Transactions and use the three-dot menu beside a transaction, then choose Edit. Update the fields in the inline editor and select Save.
Go to transactionsWhy can’t I find a transaction I added?
Check the date range and active filters first. A transaction outside the selected period or category will not appear in that view. If it came from SMS, check Pending review: it needs approval before it becomes a confirmed transaction.
Why do I need to choose a category?
Categories keep your spending and income breakdowns useful. Choose a category that matches the transaction type. In Pending review, Add category opens the inline editor and marks the field that needs your attention.
Manage categoriesHow do I record a refund?
Use the original expense’s three-dot menu and choose Refund. This keeps the refund linked to the expense. An expense with linked refunds cannot be deleted until those refunds are removed.
Why do the dashboard and analytics show different totals?
Compare the date ranges first. The dashboard and analytics can show different periods, and filters can narrow a transaction list further. Pending SMS suggestions do not count until approved.
Android & SMS
4 answersHow does SMS transaction detection work?
When you enable SMS access in the Android app, supported bank and card messages can become transaction suggestions. Review the details and choose a category before approving. Detection can miss a message, so you can also add transactions manually.
Does a detected SMS automatically change my balance?
No. It waits in Pending review. Approve it to add a confirmed transaction, edit any incorrect details, or reject it if it does not belong in your records.
What should I check if SMS suggestions are missing?
Check that SMS access is enabled in Harbr and allowed in Android’s app permissions. Make sure the app has a connection when syncing. If a particular message is not detected, add the transaction manually rather than repeatedly submitting the same message.
Can I turn off SMS access?
Yes. You can revoke SMS permission for Harbr in Android settings. This stops future message access; it does not remove records already saved in your account.
Data & account
5 answersHow do I export my transactions?
Open your profile, go to Account, and select Export. Review the date range and filters, then download the CSV. Exports can include the original expenses needed to keep selected refunds linked correctly.
Open accountWhy does importing a CSV start with a review?
Harbr checks the file before adding records. Use the Harbr template or export format, review validation and duplicate decisions, then commit the import. Uploading a file or opening its preview alone does not add transactions.
Open accountHow do I delete my account or financial data?
You can do either from Account on the Harbr website or Android app. Our deletion guide explains each step, what is removed or kept, and what happens after confirmation.
View account and data deletion guideWhat’s the difference between clearing data and deleting my account?
Clearing financial data removes financial records while keeping your account. Account deletion removes the account too. Both require confirmation and sign you out when accepted. Follow the status screen: acceptance means processing has started, not necessarily finished.
Where can I read about my data and privacy?
The privacy policy explains the account information, financial records, and transaction messages Harbr handles, along with the controls available to you.
