Questions, answered straight

On your devices, in a local database — and, if you use iCloud, in your own private iCloud database, readable only by your Apple ID. There is no Deftest server; the developer has no copy and no way to obtain one. The privacy policy is short because there's almost nothing to disclose.

Your books survive it. The app runs entirely on your devices, so it keeps working without any company behind it — and one tap saves a complete backup as a folder of plain CSV files that open in Excel or Numbers, this year or in twenty. Few apps can answer this question at all; Deftest was built so the answer is boring.

Always, in full, in ordinary files: per-table CSV exports, plus a one-tap backup of everything — jobs, invoices, payments, expenses, the complete client book and your business profile, with a ReadMe explaining restore. Export works even if your subscription has ended.

Sign into the same Apple ID with iCloud enabled, install Deftest, and your records sync down automatically. If your purchase isn't recognized immediately, Settings → Subscription → Restore Purchases settles it.

Fully. Everything is local first; iCloud sync simply catches up when you're back online. The only feature that wants a connection is the daily currency-rate update — and the last known rates keep working meanwhile.

Every kind. The money loop — jobs, invoices, payments, expenses — is the same whether you sell words, hours, designs, shoots, code or repairs. Quantities live in units you define, custom fields capture whatever your trade tracks, and there are starter templates for translation, photography, development, design, consulting and trades. If you invoice clients for your own work, Deftest fits.

Yes — that's a founding feature, not an afterthought. CSV import with column mapping, a full preview before anything is written, plain warnings for anything that can't be honored, and one-tap undo of the whole batch. Export a CSV from your current tool or spreadsheet, map the columns once, and years of history arrive in minutes.

No. There is nothing to sign up for. Your Apple ID handles purchases and sync, and Deftest itself never learns who you are.

The app becomes read-only: everything stays visible, searchable and exportable, but adding and editing wait until you subscribe again — at which point your books are writable exactly where you left them. Never locked, never held hostage.

Yes. Deftest is one app across all three, and purchases belong to your Apple ID. Buy once, use everywhere you're signed in.

Yes — one payment, permanent access, all future updates included. Deftest has no servers to fund, which is exactly why a lifetime price can be honest here when it often isn't elsewhere.

No, deliberately. Deftest is the money side of freelancing — jobs, invoices, payments, expenses, stats — done completely. It stays sharp by refusing to become a suite; your time tracker and contract templates keep their jobs.

They're indicative, converted at daily European Central Bank reference rates, and every converted figure in the app says so. Your amounts stay recorded in their original currencies; the conversion is a lens, not a rewrite. For tax filings, your accountant's official rates govern — Deftest doesn't pretend otherwise.
