Finance
A pared-back budget planner for logging spending, setting monthly limits and sharing a budget with a partner.

Soft colours and a minimal layout set Fleur apart from busier finance apps, and that look is a large part of the appeal. Underneath, it handles the basics: logging daily income and expenses, setting a monthly budget, keeping several accounts, and watching savings and debt balances over time. Budgets can be set per category and planned on a daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly cycle. Recurring transactions save repeated entry, custom categories replace the defaults, and a calendar view lays out transaction history by date. Search and filters help dig out a specific purchase, and an insights screen shows where money tends to go. Two things worth knowing: a budget can be shared with a partner, and data syncs through iCloud, so it's an Apple-ecosystem app.
Looks come first with Fleur. The soft palette and uncluttered screens are why people choose it over denser budget apps, and the developer, Akash Jain, seems to know it. Underneath is a competent personal budget: daily logging of income and expenses, monthly limits, several accounts, and running views of savings and debt.
Category budgets can run on daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly cycles, recurring entries cut down on typing, and a calendar lays out history by date. The two distinguishing practical features are partner sharing, so two people can run one budget, and iCloud sync, which ties it firmly to Apple devices.
Logging is the daily habit: a coffee, a train fare, the weekly shop, each tapped in with a category. The month's budget bar moves accordingly. At the weekend you might open the insights screen to see where the money went, search for that one purchase you can't remember, or check the calendar for a pattern.
Shared with a partner, both people log into the same budget, so the conversation about who spent what has the numbers in front of it.
Budget apps are a crowded search, and Fleur stands out for people who are put off by charts and bank-feed dashboards. They want something calm to open each day. Couples searching for a shared budget on iPhone also find it, since partner sharing without a bank connection is a less common combination.
This is the one app in the batch where the look is the feature. The five screenshots will show the muted, soft-coloured screens the description refers to, with plenty of space and minimal chrome. Expect simple lists and a few gentle charts rather than dense tables. The exact colours aren't given in the input.
A 4.8 rating from more than 10,000 reviewers is good for a budget tool from a solo developer. Version 3.1.6 suggests a third major design and a few patches since. Akash Jain is named individually rather than as a company, and with only the App Store linked and iCloud as the sync layer, an Android version is unlikely.
Calm daily logging
The quiet design makes entering a few transactions a day feel like less of a chore.
Couples on one budget
Partner sharing lets two people log against the same limits without a bank link.
Apple-only money tracking
iCloud sync keeps iPhone and iPad in step with no separate account to manage.
Free and rated 4+. The listing on this page doesn't say whether there's a paid tier or what it costs, so check inside the app. No bank connection is mentioned, which means every transaction is entered by hand.
Sync runs through iCloud, so an Apple ID is effectively required and the data stays within Apple's ecosystem. Offline logging should work with iCloud catching up later. Storage, ads and regional limits aren't covered.
Our take
Choose it if manual entry suits you and you want a budget that's pleasant to look at every day, particularly if you share finances with a partner who also uses an iPhone. Skip it if you expect automatic bank imports or need to move between Android and iOS, since neither is on offer.
