Frequently asked questions

What is KRONO?

KRONO is a comprehensive iOS personal finance app that gives households real-time visibility into their complete financial picture — income, expenses, debt, assets, insurance, goals, and forecasting — all in one place. It supports 5 languages: English, Norwegian, Spanish, German, and French.

Is my financial data safe?

Yes. KRONO is privacy-first — all your financial data is stored locally on your device. You choose and govern who you sync with through your private iCloud household sharing. Bank connections use bank-grade encryption via SaltEdge Open Banking. Your data never leaves your device except for encrypted bank API calls.

How does the bank connection work?

KRONO connects via SaltEdge, a leading EU/UK Open Banking provider. This enables automatic transaction imports, rule-based categorization that learns from your selections, transfer detection between your own accounts, and recurring payment identification. You can connect multiple accounts across different banks.

What is the Financial Health Score?

It's a dynamic 0–100 score calculated from 7 weighted components: liquidity buffer (25%), debt service ratio (20%), savings rate (15%), fixed cost ratio (10%), income stability (10%), insurance adequacy (10%), and retirement progress (10%). The score updates monthly with trend indicators, and weights are redistributed if data is unavailable for any optional component.

What makes the budget tracking unique?

Unlike most apps that only show planned vs. spent, KRONO uses three-layer tracking: Budgeted (your plan), Tracked (what you've manually logged), and Txn Actuals (what your bank confirms). Mortgages, loans, and insurance create auto-budget categories that link to manual ones to prevent double-counting. The Budget Pace Index predicts month-end outcome from day-of-month progress.

What is the Financial Engine?

The Engine is a 12-tool planning suite: Today overview, 24-month Forecast, Leverage analysis, Mortgage calculator, Cash Runway, Income Simulator, Investment Calculator, Insurance management, Goals tracker, AI Recommendations, Risk Assessment, and Monte Carlo simulation (500 runs over 30 years with success-rate, p10/p50/p90 paths).

Can I use KRONO without a bank connection?

Absolutely. You can create manual accounts for cash, crypto wallets, emergency funds, or anything not on Open Banking, with full transaction tracking. The app works great with manual entry alone, though connecting a bank enhances the experience with automatic imports and categorization.

Does KRONO support widgets?

Yes — 7 home-screen widgets: Safe to Spend, Net Worth (with mini chart), Budget Quick Add, Recent Transactions, Upcoming Costs (7/30 day), Group Balance, and Cash Runway.

What currencies and languages are supported?

KRONO supports 5 fully localized languages: English, Norwegian, Spanish, German, and French. It supports 150+ currencies with correct symbols, with locale-appropriate date formats and pre-loaded categories.

Can I export my data?

Yes — KRONO supports CSV import and export plus full JSON data export. You can move your data in and out at any time. Your data belongs to you.

How do I manage my personal finances?

Start by getting a single, honest view of every account — income, spending, debt, and assets — then set a realistic budget and review it monthly. KRONO does this automatically: connect your banks via Open Banking, let the app categorize transactions, and use the 3-layer budget (Budgeted / Tracked / Txn Actuals) to see where you actually stand. The Financial Health Score and 24-month Forecast turn raw numbers into clear next actions.

What is the best way to manage personal finances?

The best system is one that updates itself. Spreadsheets work until you stop opening them. A modern Open Banking app like KRONO continuously pulls real transactions, tracks fixed costs and debt servicing, projects your cash runway, and flags risks before they hit — all locally on your device, with no cloud storage of your financial data.

What is the best app to manage personal finances in Europe?

For European households, the best personal finance app is one that supports PSD2 Open Banking across multiple countries, respects GDPR, and works in your language and currency. KRONO connects EU and UK banks via Salt Edge, supports 150+ currencies and 5 languages, keeps all data on-device, and replaces Excel with automatic categorization, budgeting, forecasting, and a Financial Health Score.

Why I built Krono

Thomas Jelsa — Founder of Krono
Thomas Jelsa · Founder of Krono

My name is Thomas, and I’m the founder of Krono.

I’ve long been interested in personal finance and how loans, savings, investments and everyday spending fit together. Yet I never found a single solution that gave me the full picture. So, like many others, I ended up using Excel.

Spreadsheets helped me keep track, but they needed constant updates, transaction imports and formula maintenance. I wanted to spend more time understanding my finances and less time keeping everything up to date.

That’s why I built Krono: an app that brings accounts, loans, budgets, net worth and financial analysis together in one place. My goal is to give you the overview I was missing.

Trust was essential from the start. I know that letting an app into your personal finances is a big decision. That’s why I built Krono with respect for your privacy and one simple principle: your data belongs to you.

I’m continuing to develop Krono and would love to hear your questions and suggestions.
