SunFlow is the emotional expense tracker where budgets become living sunflowers. Track spending with one tap, watch your sunflower grow. Available for Android.
honestly this sounds really cute, kind of wish there was an ios version too but i get starting with android. one thing id love is the ability to set a weekly spending goal that actually shows up on the sunflower somehow, like if i stay under budget the petals stay bright but if i go over they start wilting a little. would make the motivation way more visual than just a number on a screen

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like the idea.
An iOS version is definitely something I'd love to build in the future. Right now I'm focusing on making the Android experience as polished as possible first.
I also love your suggestion about weekly spending goals. Making the sunflower react to weekly progress - with brighter petals when you're on track and gradual wilting when you go over budget - is a really creative idea and fits the vision of SunFlow perfectly. I'll definitely add it to my roadmap and explore how to make it feel natural.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback - it genuinely helps shape the app!
Love the sunflower growing idea, it makes budgeting feel less like a chore. One thing I'd want is the ability to set a savings goal that grows a second flower alongside, so I can see both my spending habits and my savings progress on the same screen.
@bnyaminzopwhd4 Thank you! I'm really happy you like the sunflower concept. My goal has always been to make budgeting feel more engaging and less intimidating.
I really like your idea of having a second flower represent a savings goal. Seeing one flower reflect spending habits while another grows with savings progress would create a much more meaningful visual experience. It fits perfectly with the direction I want SunFlow to evolve in.
I'll definitely add this to my roadmap and explore how it can be implemented in a simple and beautiful way. Thanks for the thoughtful suggestion!
Love the idea of turning budgets into a sunflower you can actually watch grow, makes checking my spending way less painful. One thing I'd love is a quick way to compare this months sunflower growth to last months side by side, so I can see if my habits are actually changing without digging through history.
@ramazan9mbr Thank you! I'm glad the sunflower concept resonates with you. Making budgeting feel more visual and enjoyable has been one of the main goals behind SunFlow.
I really like your suggestion. A side-by-side comparison of this month's and last month's sunflower would make it much easier to understand how spending habits are changing over time without digging through analytics. It would also make progress feel much more tangible.
I'll definitely add this idea to my roadmap and explore the best way to integrate it into the Sunflower Mode. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!
the one-tap logging combined with a growing sunflower is such a clever way to make people actually want to check their expenses. love that the emotional payoff lives right inside the habit itself
@tahsin1326739 Thank you so much! That means a lot to hear.
That's exactly the experience I wanted to create. Instead of making budgeting feel like another task on a checklist, I wanted every expense to have a small, meaningful reward. Watching the sunflower grow or change based on your habits turns progress into something you can actually see and feel, not just numbers on a screen.
I'm really glad that idea came across. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!
The sunflower visualization sounds genuinely charming, makes budgeting feel less like a chore. One thing I'd love as a future addition is a seasonal wilt mechanic when you overspend, so the flower actually droops for a day or two. That little bit of negative feedback would make the rewards feel more earned and help me notice bad spending habits faster instead of just watching things grow indefinitely.
@mesutrende Thank you! I'm really glad you like the sunflower concept. The goal has always been to make budgeting feel more engaging and rewarding instead of something people avoid.
I really like this idea. Having the sunflower temporarily droop after overspending would make the feedback feel much more meaningful while still being gentle and encouraging. It reinforces that good habits are earned over time, and it gives users a clear visual reminder when they're drifting away from their budget without feeling overly punishing.
I'll definitely add this to my roadmap and explore the best way to balance the seasonal wilt mechanic with the overall positive experience. Thanks for the thoughtful suggestion!
honestly the growing sunflower thing is such a nice touch, makes checking my spending feel less like a chore. surprised how quick the one tap logging actually is on android.
@meltemxfph Thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear that.
That was exactly the experience I was aiming for. I wanted expense tracking to be something you could do in just a second or two, so it naturally becomes part of your day instead of feeling like a chore. Pairing that with the growing sunflower was my way of making the habit feel a little more rewarding and personal.
I'm glad the one-tap logging feels fast in practice. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
