About Peony: Simple Budgeting
Peony is an easy to use budget tracker and planner for households. It makes adding new transactions easy, and shows you what's safe to spend for the month. Peony posts your bills and paychecks for you, and keeps your savings goals in view. No spreadsheets, no bank logins, no jargon. The Essentials - Free Forever - Safe to spend: one number that tells you how you're doing - The Activity view, with flexible search and filters - Unlimited categories with monthly targets - Split purchases, category recommendations, and month-end carryover - Up to 5 each of recurring bills and paychecks, savings goals, and cards or accounts - Backup and restore, Face ID lock, and bill reminders - The Default, Default (Dark) and Auto themes Peony Plus One subscription covers your whole household. Everyone that joins your household gets Plus too, on their own devices, and never has to pay. - Share your budget: invite a partner, a roommate, or anyone you share a budget with - Year to Date and Trends, with what changed this month in plain English - Home Screen widgets - Peony in your web browser, with the same account - Unlimited recurring items, savings goals and accounts - Goal dates, with a monthly savings plan to get there - Every theme, custom themes and fonts, and effects - CSV export of any month Household sharing requires Peony Plus. Without it, a household is limited to one person. If Plus ends, nothing you made goes away: everyone stays in the household, bills keep posting, and your savings and accounts stay put. Peony Plus is available as a monthly or a yearly subscription. The yearly plan includes a one-month free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, or when the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple ID's Subscriptions settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you subscribe. Private and Secure By Design: No ads, no analytics, no tracking, and Peony never asks for a bank password. Your budget is shared only with the people you invite.

What’s new
Version 1.3.0 · Updated October 14, 2026
Thank you for budgeting with Peony! This is a big one: Personal Budgets: - You can now keep a private personal budget alongside your shared household. Switch between them from Settings > Profile, and your widgets follow whichever budget you have open. - If you leave a shared household, Peony sets you up with a personal budget so you're never left with nothing. Make Peony Yours: - New alternate app icons! - Pick from 11 in Settings > Appearance > App Icon. Classic and Dark are free, and the rest (8-Bit, Neon, Bubble Gum, New Mexico, and more) come with Peony Plus. - Home Screen widgets now match your app theme, custom themes included. - Every icon picker now takes any emoji you like. Smoother Adding: - Every add sheet has been rebuilt to look and work the same way, with a new "Paid With" field that covers both your accounts and your savings buckets. - Repeating bills and income are easier to set up: just pick how often it repeats and the first date. - Sheets now slide up above the keyboard, so the field you're typing in stays in view. Roadrunner Mini-game: - Night now gently darkens the sky instead of swapping colors, so it's easier on the eyes and obstacles stay easy to spot. - Jumps are smoother on iPhone. Also Fixed: - The Waves theme no longer pins sheets and menus to the top of the screen.
