Flower brings your expenses, budgets, and wallets together in a personal space. Keep everyday records clear, then revisit the places and moments behind the numbers. RECORD YOUR WAY Add expenses and income, organize categories and subcategories, and attach photos or places. Scan receipts, import payment screenshots, or review CSV/XLSX records before importing them. Suggestions based on your own history help with familiar purchases. MULTIPLE LEDGERS, A CLEARER VIEW Flower Plus lets you create additional ledgers for different purposes, each with a name and a Flower library icon. Switch between one ledger and all ledgers; records, maps, statistics, and recaps follow your selection. Wallet and account balances belong to you across all ledgers. SEE WHERE YOU SPENT Explore saved locations on your Spending Map, from familiar streets to places visited further afield. Search for a place and look through records nearby. Photos and locations are free to add, and the current month’s map is free to use. REMEMBER YOUR MONTH A completed month becomes a Monthly recap with photos, places, spending patterns, and changes. Explore your monthly imprint and revisit a Story with a few words to remember the month by. Basic weekly, monthly, and yearly statistics remain free. ORGANIZE YOUR MONEY Bring cash, bank accounts, credit accounts, and multi-currency wallets together. Track transfers, recurring items, split expenses, and repayment records. Investment accounts are for keeping your own records. PLAN AND PERSONALIZE Set an overall budget or a separate budget for each saved ledger and see what remains. Choose Card Holder styles, arrange embossings, and give categories a little personality with miniature, felt, and other icon collections. FLOWER PLUS Flower Plus lets you create additional ledgers; add reimbursement details, installment schedules, or discounts to records; add transfer fees; and create or extend shared credit accounts. Shared credit groups cards under one limit while keeping each card’s debt separate. Other benefits include private iCloud sync, full-ledger PDF/CSV export, historical Spending Maps, more Monthly recaps, and expanded asset and Card Holder capacity. Some appearances are sold separately. See the in-app offer for current plans and included features. If a subscription expires, your saved data stays. You can keep using saved ledgers, record in active ones, rename or archive them, correct or remove saved premium details, receive reimbursements, and stop existing installment plans. Due installments from existing plans continue to create records. You can correct saved transfer fees and shared limits, remove cards from a shared group, or record repayments. Creating new paid configurations requires Flower Plus. Settings β†’ Feature display controls which tools are shown. It does not unlock paid features.
