Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Bunt is completely free and privately funded. Our most important currency is App Store reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations. If you enjoy Bunt, we would greatly appreciate a review in the App Store.

Yes, we do not collect user data and do not use any tracking. All data remains on your device. The optional iCloud sync runs through Apple's encrypted infrastructure.

Yes, Bunt is designed to work fully offline (offline first). All data remains on your device.

Yes, Bunt supports synchronization via iCloud. To enable it, activate iCloud sync in the app settings. Important: Use the same security key on all devices. Please create a manual backup before enabling iCloud.

In the sidebar, you will find the Grading Scale button. There you can create custom scales based on different grading schemes (e.g. 1–6, 0–15 points, or custom systems). A grading scheme defines the possible grades (e.g. 1.0 to 6.0), while a grading scale maps percentages to grades. You can create as many scales as you need, and export or import them.

Yes, under Reports you can export grades, attendance, and other data as PDF. Timetable export as PDF and a full course book export are in development.

Bunt automatically creates a local backup each time you open the app (at least once per day). You can also create a manual backup. To restore: Save the backup file locally on the device (not in OneDrive or similar cloud services) and import it through the app. Make sure to use the same security key.

Duplicate courses occur when a backup is imported while iCloud sync is already active. Delete the duplicate courses manually in the app, or disable iCloud, import a clean backup, and then re-enable iCloud. Make sure iCloud stays active during the deletion process so that changes are synced.
