Budget app with dark mode: Your money, after dark
The day’s spending gets logged when the day is over — on the sofa, in bed, with the lights down. Wealtie’s dark theme is made for that hour: warm olive instead of black, cream instead of glaring white.
Drag across the phone to compare
A white screen at midnight is a flashlight
You open the app to log a twelve-euro dinner and it lights up the room. Your eyes spent the last hour settling into the dark, and one bright screen undoes it.
Most apps answer that by flipping their colours: pure black, pure white, a cold blue-grey somebody picked in an afternoon. It is technically dark. It still feels like reading a spreadsheet with the lights off.
Wealtie's dark mode is a second palette, drawn for the dark — not a filter over the first one.
Three settings. One of them is automatic.
Appearance sits under Preferences in Profile Settings. Leave it on System and you never have to think about it again.
- ☀️ Light
- Cream and taupe, the Wealtie most people have seen. Stays light at any hour.
- 📱 System
- The default. Follows your phone — and if your phone switches itself at sunset, Wealtie switches with it.
- 🌙 Dark
- Olive and cream, all the time, whatever the rest of the phone is doing.
Whichever you pick is kept on your phone and applied as the app starts, before the first screen is drawn — so Wealtie opens the way you left it, not light for a moment and then dark.
Not black. Olive.
Every colour in the dark theme was chosen for it: a near-black with a green undertone, cream where white would glare, and the same sage green in both, because the brand shouldn't change when the lights go off.

Redrawn for the dark, down to the chart lines
Swapping the background is the easy part. The charts, the small print and the moment the app opens are where a dark mode shows whether anybody looked at it at night.
- Your total stays green
- The All card keeps its sage in the dark, so the one number you opened the app for is the brightest thing on the screen.
- Charts fade into the card
- The spending line's fill runs down into the olive card instead of into cream, and the grid drops to a faint white, so the line is what you see.
- Small print stays readable
- Dates, labels and axis numbers move to a warm grey that holds up against olive, rather than a grey picked for a white page.
- No white flash
- When the app is set to dark, the loading screen is dark too. It doesn't light the room for half a second before the first screen appears.
Your widgets turn in when your phone does
All eleven home screen widgets have a night palette, on iPhone and Android. They follow your phone's own light and dark setting, so the home screen is never half one and half the other.
Free. It was never going to be a Pro feature.
Being able to look at your own money without squinting isn't a premium tier.
- Light, Dark, or System — your choice, on every plan
- Home, transactions, budgets, analytics and settings in both themes
- All eleven widgets, light and dark, on iPhone and Android
- Your choice remembered on the device, and applied before the first screen
What people ask before they switch it on
Yes, on iPhone and Android and on every plan. It's a dark theme with its own warm olive palette rather than an inverted light one. Choose Light, Dark or System in Settings; System follows your phone.
No. Light, Dark and System are in Settings on every plan, including Free.
Tap your picture on the home screen, open Profile Settings, and it's Appearance under Preferences. Pick Light, System or Dark. System is the default, so if your phone is already dark, Wealtie already is.
Yes, if your phone does. Choose System and Wealtie follows your phone's appearance, including the automatic light-to-dark switch iPhone and Android can make at sunset.
Yes. Widgets are drawn by your phone rather than by the app, so they follow your phone's light or dark setting — on iPhone and on Android.
We don't promise that. Dark pixels use less power on OLED screens, but Wealtie's dark background is a warm olive rather than pure black, chosen for how it reads at night rather than for the battery figure.
No. Appearance is only how the app looks. Accounts, transactions, budgets and streaks are exactly the same in either theme.
Log today’s spending with the lights off
Install Wealtie, add an account, and leave Appearance on System. When your phone goes dark this evening, so will your budget — and it'll still be easy to read.
