PRIVACY YOU CAN UNDERSTAND

Your profile is encrypted. Your backup travels with you.

Your password unlocks a local encrypted profile. Direct sync sends encrypted snapshots to your connected cloud account, not the BillNest website. Your cloud provider can see file names and profile metadata; the record contents stay encrypted.

A password for your records

The browser profile and complete backup are encrypted. Keep the backup password—it is needed to restore your records.

Files you can actually use

Folder backups also create readable PDFs, receipts, CSVs, and record files. Keep that folder private and manage sharing through your drive provider.

Understand how your files are protected

YOUR FILES, YOUR CHOICE

On your device. Backed up where you choose.

Work in an encrypted profile on this device. Use Cloud sync to send and receive changes, and keep separate folder backups for recovery.

YOUR BACKUP COPY

Keep a copy close to home.

Choose a folder in a supported desktop browser. BillNest organizes the files there. Copy your backup to another device or drive whenever you need it.

  • Folders created automatically
  • Complete encrypted backup
  • Files stay in the folder you choose

Using a phone? Direct Cloud sync connects without a folder picker. It requires site activation and a supported provider. For a recovery copy, use Back up now and upload the file with your drive app.

Step 1 / 3

Sync before switching devices and after returning. Different records combine automatically; conflicting edits need your review. Unsynced work stays on its original device. Folder backups remain a separate recovery option.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Clear answers. Before you start.

Is this an online account?

Existing local usernames unlock encrypted browser profiles. Shared-account sign-in is being prepared; Account options shows current availability. Signing in alone does not copy records between devices. Use your configured cloud sync or an encrypted backup for the same existing profile.

Are all my files encrypted?

Your local profile and complete backup are encrypted. Exported PDFs, receipts, CSVs, and other record files are readable without the profile password. Keep the export folder private, especially when using a shared drive.

What if I clear browser data or lose my device?

Open your synced cloud profile or restore an encrypted backup with its original password. Changes that never completed sync or backup remain only on the original device. Keep an extra recovery copy; there is no online password reset.

Are backups automatic?

With a connected folder and permission, Yes backs up every three hours while BillNest is open, and on startup after more than three hours away. Choose No to stop that schedule. Save folder backup and Download backup work on demand. Direct Cloud sync is a separate manual action for sending and receiving changes.

Can I change my backup location?

Yes. Open Settings → Storage & Backup, choose a local or cloud drive location, then change the save folder. Save a fresh backup there. Existing files in your old folder stay where they are.

Can I try BillNest without an account?

Yes. The demo opens immediately with fictional sample records. Browse the pages, filters, and previews. Adding, editing, deleting, sending, and saving are disabled.
