Ratings and reviews

I have been wanting to start using the "envelope" system for a while, and this app works exactly like regular money envelopes work. I find it very easy to use and you can add as many envelopes as you need for your budget, which is great because some of the other budgeting apps limit the amount of envelopes you can have. The dark mode is also easy on the eyes. Thank you to the developer for this wonderful app. It will definitely keep me on track!

This budget app is great! It mimics an envelope style budget, and it gives you all the same flexibility as a physical system would. For starters, getting setup takes less than 10 minutes - there's no bank connection, and it's all manual, which I like. Adding transactions is very easy and flexible. You can transfer funds and transactions between envelopes. There' a rollover option at month's end. There's savings and debit envelopes. It checks all the boxes for me, and I'm super happy!

So far, this is the only mobile app that suit my needs. It allows me to set up a budget for the following month. Instead of using cash/debit, I use credit cards. I assign each credit card to a particular use such as food purchases, shopping and copays, car services and gas, etc. Since credit cards have different billing cycles, the app's functionality to allow future month budgetting had helped me track how much I spend on each envelope. If possible, can you make the envelope smaller width?
