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: · Unlimited books · App icons · Premium themes · Permanent iCloud sync —— Contact: · Settings → Mail Feedback · angusyahn@gmail.com Enjoy ~
