Most expense apps give you one endless list. Sooner 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, Japanese, Korean & Vietnamese 【iPhone Duo】 Unfold the inner screen to see Insights and your books side by side across the hinge, with expense entry beside Insights. Half-fold it upright for Insights above and logging below. —— Sooner Pro — one-time purchase, lifetime unlock: · Unlimited books · App icons · Premium themes · Permanent iCloud sync —— Contact: · Settings → Mail Feedback · angusyahn@gmail.com Enjoy ~

Your family's money lives in a dozen places: a pension here, an ISA there, a mortgage, the car finance, the house itself. Clanfolio gathers all of it into one picture — what you own, what you owe, and which way it's heading. Add an account, type in its balance, and you're tracking it. There's no bank to connect and no permissions to grant, so the only figures in Clanfolio are the ones you put there. ONE PICTURE, THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Your net worth, what you own and what you owe, each with a chart for the last month, 3 months, 12 months or since you started. Tap any figure to see what's behind it. The By person view shows who holds what, including anything joint. EVERY KIND OF ACCOUNT Current accounts, savings, ISAs, Premium Bonds, pensions, investments, property, credit cards, loans, car finance and mortgages. Hold them in other currencies and Clanfolio converts them to yours. FIVE MINUTES A MONTH Update balances is one screen with every account on it, so a month's admin takes one pass. Anything you haven't touched in a while is flagged, so nothing quietly goes stale. Log individual transactions when they matter, and skip them when they don't. EVERYONE ON THE SAME NUMBERS Invite your partner or your parents with a link. They see the same household, so nobody is working from a figure they half-remember. ASK ABOUT YOUR OWN MONEY The built-in assistant answers questions like "what's our biggest liability?" or "how much is in pensions?" using your household's real figures. It has nothing else to draw on, so it can't invent a number. YOUR DATA, YOUR COPY Export everything to Excel or CSV whenever you want, or download a full backup to keep. Delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app. Clanfolio doesn't sell your data and carries no ads. It isn't a budgeting app, and it doesn't give financial advice — it shows you your own numbers, clearly, and leaves the decisions to you. On iPhone and iPad, in light or dark. CLANFOLIO FAMILY Try everything free for 14 days, with no card needed. After that, Clanfolio Family is one subscription that covers everyone in your household, on every device, billed monthly or yearly. Exporting and backing up your data stays free, subscribed or not. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.clanfolio.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.clanfolio.com/privacy
