About

Nori

Features
Read full description

Nori is a spending support app built for the moments before an impulse buy. Open Nori, enter an amount, and choose what happened: spent it, waited, or did not spend. When you skip a purchase, Nori turns that pause into protected money and goal progress. When a purchase looks risky, Nori can add a short challenge flow to slow the decision down before checkout takes over. Use Nori to: - Log urges, waits, skipped purchases, and spending quickly - See money protected by decisions you did not make - Spot recurring pressure patterns without turning it into a budget chore - Build goals around what you want to protect - Keep support nearby with reminders, widgets, and quick actions Nori is not a bank-connected budget ledger. It is manual, local-first spending support for people who want a calmer pause between impulse and purchase. Core support stays free. Nori Plus adds private iCloud continuity, deeper support history, reminders, widgets, and pattern follow-through across your Apple devices. Nori is for reflection and behavior support. It is not financial advice, medical care, therapy, diagnosis, or emergency support.
