Fynn is your minimalist finance companion. Keep track of your accounts, balances, and everyday spending without the clutter, charts, or complexity you don't need. Open the app and see what matters. Adding expenses is designed to be effortless. Type or dictate naturally, enter the details manually, or let Fynn find transactions in receipts, bills, payment confirmations, and screenshots. Take a photo, choose an image from your library, or paste one from your clipboard. Fynn can even recognize multiple activities at once, so catching up on several expenses doesn't mean entering them one by one. With Apple Intelligence, Fynn understands natural language and helps turn what you type, say, or scan into activities you can review before saving. On supported devices, you can scan receipts directly with your camera, while Siri AI lets you interact with Fynn through natural conversation. Your financial data and AI processing stay on your device. The interface stays focused on your finances. See your total balance at a glance, manage multiple accounts and currencies, and open any account to browse its activity. Natural daily summaries highlight what matters without overwhelming you, while widgets bring useful information to your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Already tracking your finances somewhere else? Fynn can import existing data from Revolut and Cashew, making it easier to get started without leaving your history behind. Fynn respects your time and privacy. No ads. No subscriptions. No unnecessary complexity. It works with or without Apple Intelligence, with fast manual entry always available and optional gentle reminders to help you stay consistent. (Camera scanning requires a device with Apple Intelligence enabled and iOS 27.0 or later.)

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fynn at none against Barely Spent's 1. Barely Spent's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
