Log Out & Session Management

Sign out of your account, understand session behavior, and keep your account secure.

How to Log Out

  1. Go to Settings

    Open the Settings screen from the main menu.

  2. Open the Account Tab

    Select the Account tab in the settings menu.

  3. Tap Log Out

    Scroll to the bottom and tap Log Out. A confirmation dialog will ask you to confirm.

  4. Choose Whether to Sign Out Everywhere

    The dialog has a Sign out from all devices checkbox. It starts unticked, which signs you out of this device only. Tick it to end your sessions on every device at once.

  5. Confirm

    Tap Log Out to sign out. You will be returned to the home screen in guest mode.

Note: After logging out, you will need your email and password (or social login) to sign back in. Make sure you remember your credentials before logging out.

What Happens When You Log Out

Logging out signs you out of the current device or browser only. Here's what changes:

On the Current Device

  • Your login session is ended
  • All locally stored account data is cleared
  • Push notifications for your account stop on this device
  • You return to guest mode where you can browse but not access your data

Your Data Is Safe

  • Nothing is deleted — all your estimates, invoices, clients, and data remain on the server
  • Other devices — if you are logged in on other devices, those sessions keep working, unless you ticked Sign out from all devices
  • Sign back in anytime — log in again to pick up right where you left off

Sessions & Devices

You can be signed in to GetCost on multiple devices at the same time — for example, on your phone, tablet, and computer. Each device has its own independent session.

How Sessions Work

  • Logging out on one device does not affect other devices, unless you ask it to
  • Your data syncs across all devices automatically
  • Changes made on one device appear on all others

Signing Out Everywhere

Both the Log Out dialog and the Change Password dialog carry a Sign out from all devices checkbox. It is unticked by default in both. Ticking it ends every session on the account, so each device has to sign in again.

Changing your password does not sign other devices out on its own. A device that is already signed in stays signed in, even after the password changes — so if someone else has your account open, a new password alone will not remove them. To lock them out, tick Sign out from all devices when you change it.
Tip: If you lose a device or suspect someone has access to your account, go to Settings > Account > Change Password, set a new password and tick Sign out from all devices. Change the password on the email address your account uses as well — anyone who can read that mailbox can reset your GetCost password from the sign-in screen.

Security Tips

🔒

Use a Strong Password

Choose a unique password that you don't use on other sites. You can change it anytime from Settings > Account.

📱

Log Out on Shared Devices

Always log out when using a shared or public computer to prevent others from accessing your account.

📩

Social Login

If you signed up with Google, Apple, or Facebook, your account security also depends on those accounts. Keep them secure too.

⚠

Suspicious Activity

If you notice anything unusual in your account, change your password right away with Sign out from all devices ticked, and contact support.

Delete Account: If you want to permanently delete your account and all your data, that option is available in Settings > Advanced. This is irreversible and all your data will be permanently removed after a few days.
