Settings
Reached from “Settings”, which appears when you hover your name at the bottom of the sidebar. It is a single page with the five sections one after another (Profile, Tax, Appearance, Years and Legal) so there is no tab to remember. The list on the left jumps to each one and stays put as you scroll, marking whichever you are looking at; on narrow screens it disappears and you just scroll. Every change saves immediately and a “Saved” confirms it.
Profile#
| Setting | Detail |
|---|---|
| Photo | JPG or PNG; cropped to a square. Shown in the sidebar and on quick access. |
| Name | How the app greets you and how it signs the PDF and CSVs. |
| Username | Lets you sign in instead of with the email. Unique: if someone else uses it, it won't save. |
| Your account's email. Changing it asks for your current password to confirm. | |
| Password | Type the new one (at least 8 characters) and, when you leave the field, confirm with your current one. You'll need it next time you sign in or unlock. |
| Lock | When Fyal asks for your password on this device: every time you come back (it locks when you leave the app or the tab), on open and after 10 minutes idle (the default), on open and after an hour, only on open, or never. It doesn't travel with your profile: each browser and each Mac has its own. When you unlock, whatever you had open (a half-written invoice, an import) is still there. In the Mac app with Touch ID, your fingerprint is enough. |
| Face ID or Touch ID | In the browser (your iPhone, a Mac with Touch ID), to unlock without typing your password. When Fyal locks, it asks by itself (on iPhone, the iOS sheet and one tap on «Use Passkey»). It shows the name of what your device has, and only while the lock is on. Turned on per device; it doesn't replace your account password. |
Tax#
What decides how Fyal computes your taxes. Worth checking once and forgetting. The ones that need explaining carry it behind an “i” next to their name.
| Setting | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tax authority | Common territory (AEAT), Navarre, Álava, Bizkaia or Gipuzkoa. Changes the income-tax brackets and the instalment rule. Unset, the income-tax block doesn't compute. |
| Registration | Month and year you registered as self-employed. Decides whether you're in the first year, in the first two (Navarre) or under the ordinary regime, and from which quarter you're obliged. |
| Modelo 130 | Common territory only. “Only when mandatory”: if 70% of last year's income carried withholding, Fyal treats you as exempt. “Always, even if exempt”: computes and shows it anyway; what you advance comes back in the tax return. |
| Instalment method | Navarre only. The first two years the 2nd (current year) applies; from the third you may choose the 1st (previous year). |
| Direct estimation | Normal or simplified, the one you registered with (in Navarre, also special, only for farming, livestock, forestry or fishing activities and for those under the VAT equivalence surcharge or simplified scheme). It changes your tax return and, under the common regime and Navarre, your quarterly payments. Unless you pick another, it shows simplified (the Basque authorities require you to have opted for it: if you didn't, choose normal). |
| Home office | If you work from home, the share that's an office (its square metres over the home's, in %). With it, home power, water and internet are deducted (see expenses with their own rule), and changing it changes them all. Empty, they aren't. |
| Hourly rate | Your base price per hour. Projects use it for profitability unless one has its own. |
| Timer rounding | How tracked time is logged when you stop: to the nearest quarter hour, tenth or minute. |
| Currencies | The currencies offered when creating invoices and expenses. Search by code or name (“JPY”, “Swiss franc”) and add it. EUR is the accounting base and can't be removed. |
Appearance#
- Theme: light, dark or automatic, which follows your Mac or iPhone (and switches at dusk if the system does). Automatic is per device. The change is a cross-fade of the whole interface at once. It can also be switched from the sidebar or with a right-click anywhere.
- Language: Spanish or English.
- Accent colour: the brand colour of buttons and highlights, from several presets or your own. It doesn't touch the income and expense colours, which stay green and red so they read the same.
All three are saved on your profile: they follow you to any browser or device you sign in from.
Years#
Fyal works per tax year, and here are the ones you have set up. Adding a year puts it in the selector at the top; removing one takes it out of the selector (any data it had isn't deleted, it just stops showing). The previous year (and in the Basque territories, the year before last) is needed for the instalment to compute on real data; if you don't have them, add them and enter at least their totals.
Legal#
The privacy policy and terms of use, the same ones linked from the app's footer. In short: your data is yours, stored encrypted on servers in the European Union and used only to provide the service; you can request access, correction, deletion or portability at any time.
