A quiet garden for money and mood. Everything stays on your device — nothing sent to a server. AI fills in receipts; acorns grow slowly. No pressure, always calm.
A quiet garden for your spending diary.
Acorn Ledger is a budgeting app that doesn't hurry you. Jot down today's small spends and small earnings, and quietly, in a corner of the screen, a garden grows. No savings score, no red warnings — just the gentle pleasure of writing things down.
What you can do, for free
— The garden
Every entry gathers an acorn, and at its own rhythm a tiny sprout appears. Nothing wilts, nothing compares you, nothing pushes. A small landscape you simply look at — "how was today?"
— A monthly look back · classic kakeibo (new)
See your month's spending sorted into four soft streams — needs, wants, culture, and the unexpected — and look back by answering four quiet questions. No scores, no rush, just a moment for yourself.
— Write with how you felt
Tag a spend with a mood (calm, delighted, a little regret), a memo, a photo. And, quite separately, a free diary for your day — mood, weather, a photo or two. Empty days are fine.
With Pro, whenever you like
Snap a receipt and AI fills in the amount, date and items (Apple Intelligence on-device where supported, otherwise Google Gemini — either way, nothing is linked to your identity). Type "coffee yesterday, 5" in natural language. A weekly recap and a gentle category insight arrive on their own. Scan documents into an A4 PDF, mix several currencies while travelling, share a small kakeibo between two of you over iCloud, and lock it all with Face ID. The fairy may even offer you a line.
— Privacy first
Your budgeting data lives on this device. Turn on iCloud sync and it goes only to your own Apple ID's encrypted iCloud — never to our servers. No ad IDs, no tracking.
— Gentle by design
Quiet reminders like "a line for today?" — and you can turn them off. No score grind. The backdrop softens with today's weather, and now and then a butterfly drifts across.

Acorn Ledger 1.0.12 — the fairy has more to say, and the app got lighter
What's new in this version
- The fairy's daily line now comes in 107 variations. Early mornings and late nights, each weekday, rain, snow, and clear skies, the seasons, the start and end of the month, even days with a rainbow or shooting stars. Open the app twice on the same day and you'll hear something different. All seven languages were written in their own words.
- The home screen widget, Apple Watch, share sheet, and quick-entry keyboard now speak all seven languages. Text that used to appear only in English matches the app.
- New ambient sounds. All six, from rain to crickets to a crackling fire, were chosen anew, and the volume gap between them is smaller, so switching sounds no longer drops or jumps.
- The app is about 50 MB lighter. The pictures look the same.
- In euro regions the currency symbol now follows the amount, as in 70.350,00 €.
- Voice entry and Siri shortcuts work in Traditional Chinese, German, French, and Spanish. Monthly insights are written in each language too.
- Fixed a freeze when typing the first character of a diary entry.
- "Delete all data" in Settings now truly clears everything: records, diary, garden, scanned documents, and widgets. The notice spells out exactly what goes.
- Fixed monthly reflection and daily mission dates drifting on devices set to the Japanese era calendar.
- Tidied Traditional Chinese punctuation and matched compact large-amount formatting to each language.
Every record, mood, weather, and the tree you've grown are still here, nothing lost.
Slowly, softly. Write today's single line.
