## What is Sooner?

Most expense apps give you one endless list.
Sooner 2.0 gives you separate books: daily life, travel, parenting, hobbies.
Each with its own color, categories, and timeline.
A journal, not a spreadsheet.

【READY TO GO】
No empty category grid. No blank screen with a plus button.
Pick a scene that fits your life — categories and icons are ready.
Just open and start logging.

【SEPARATE BOOKS】
Coffee runs in one book, flight tickets in another,
diapers in their own quiet timeline.
No mixing. No noise. Each book tracks its own stats.

【STAMP CALENDAR】
Every day you log becomes a stamp.
Days keep their book's color and a tiny category icon.
At month's end, a piece of paper that's actually yours.

【BENTO INSIGHT CARDS】
A 2×2 grid tells you four things at a glance:
total vs. last month, top category share, trend shifts, daily rhythm.
Tap any card — it fans open right there. No nested screens.

【iOS 26 NATIVE】
Floating sheets with device-matched corners. Liquid Glass surfaces.
Radix-scaled dark mode. Variable blur that softens what's behind.

【iCLOUD SYNC】
Instant cross-device sync. Never lose a record.

【ALSO】
· 30 currencies with auto exchange rates
· Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese & English

Sooner Pro — one-time purchase, lifetime unlock:

### 3/5 — 产品理念不错但存在 产品 bug

*2025-05-21*

会员 88 一年，存在 bug，看开支明细详情会闪退出详情界面，看作者两年没有更新维护应该是跑路了，不敢购买会员😭

### 5/5 — 增加不同货币

*2025-04-13*

简约好用，是这个app最大的优点。最近又拾起记账的习惯，只是人在国外，继续用“元”作为记账的单位已不太合适。请问能否更换货币类型呢？

**Developer response:** 谢谢建议，多币种支持已经在规划中，预计下下个版本发布。

### 1/5 — 不值得购买

*2023-05-05*

成为Pro后的体验
1、新建自定义分类不能自主命名（这也叫自定义吗？）
2、新建自定义后子分类不能修改名称、图标（这也叫自定义吗？）
3、统计分类只有生活、居住、饮食、出行、其他五种… 大而粗的分类分析有何意义？
开发者一年收88不会觉得亏心吗？

### 5/5 — 请问app还更新吗

*2023-01-05*

想买断 但是 功能好少 还不如我备忘录😂

### 4/5 — 可以搞个终身会员之类的吗？

*2022-09-16*

年费88感觉有点贵了，希望可以出一个终身的

### 4/5 — 如果能自定义标题就好了🤧

*2022-08-10*

如果能自定义标题就好了🤧

**Developer response:** 建议收到🫡

### 5/5 — 可以开发预算期间自选的功能吗

*2022-08-10*

很喜欢这个app！工程师加油！
有一个小建议：可以开发一下【自选预算日期期间】这个功能吗 因为有时候不是很想按照整个自然月的时间长度作为预算期间
加油啦！

**Developer response:** 自然是没问题的👌事实上已经在开发中了😁

### 1/5 — 很鸡肋

*2022-07-16*

去年跟作者提了意见并且得到回复“预计月底（2022年1月）上线”，但直到现在仍然没有更新进去，很难不怀疑作者不会再进行功能上的更新，并准备跑路😅

### 5/5 — 看了几个同类应用，感觉迟早记账的UI更吸引人

*2022-05-13*

能不能再汇总的列表中，加上每日花销总额，想观察历史日期的当日总开销；

**Developer response:** 谢谢你🥰已经在设计中了

### 5/5 — 很有潜力的简易记账app

*2022-04-18*

真的很喜欢这种简约风的软件 一目了然
我只是用这个软件来记录每日的餐食和交通
但是每年88的费用真的很贵 因为功能很单一 88买断仍觉得很贵…
个人不理解的点：数字键盘的顺序与iPhone的纯数字键盘不同，很容易引起用户的不适应。
主页面左滑可以日常支出类型，普遍来讲每日的支出类型是固定的，餐费交通等等，不常变化，不需要如此快捷的更换方式。左右滑动太简单，很容易误触。

**Developer response:** 感谢你的反馈，相信未来的版本会越来越符合你的习惯。敬请期待😜

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.0 — 2026-07-25

Your life doesn’t happen in one list — Sooner 2.0 is a spending journal that gives each part of it a book of its own.
A morning coffee, flights and hotels from a trip, the everyday costs of raising a child — they may all be expenses, but they belong to different parts of life.
In Sooner, you can create a separate book for daily life, parenting, hobbies, or travel. Each one has its own color, categories, and statistics. Instead of opening another blank ledger, you begin by choosing the part of life you want to record.
Logging an expense is still meant to feel effortless. Open Sooner, choose a book, and finish in a few taps. There is no new system to learn and no reason to spend more time in the app than you need to.
When you do come back, each day you logged appears as a stamp on the calendar. Colors and category icons gradually form a picture of the month. The redesigned statistics view brings totals, categories, trends, and records into a few simple cards — not to give you more charts to manage, but to show where your money went and what kind of life it became part of.
The home screen, logging flow, statistics, and book management have all been redesigned. We wanted every part of Sooner to feel lighter: quick when you need to record something, quiet when you do not, and worth returning to when you want to look back.
Sooner 2.0 also includes rebuilt iCloud sync, support for English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, and automatic conversion across 30 currencies.
If you have used an earlier version of Sooner, your existing books and records will stay with you.
If this is your first time here, start with one book for a part of life you want to remember.
A journal, not a spreadsheet.
