## What is chestnut?

chestnut is a calming envelope budgeting companion-not another finance dashboard.

money can feel heavy. chestnut helps you feel emotionally safe, organized, and in control without turning your life into a spreadsheet. split your money into warm, identity-based envelopes, check safe-to-spend in a few seconds, and log spending in moments-not minutes.

WHY ENVELOPE BUDGETING
give every euro a job before you spend it. fixed envelopes cover what you need (rent, subscriptions). flexible envelopes hold the joy (eating out, self care, little treats). savings envelopes grow hope (vacation, emergency fund). when it's time to spend, you only ask one question: is there money in this envelope?

HOME - "AM I OKAY?"
open chestnut and see your safe-to-spend number front and center-so you know you can enjoy today without guessing.

ENVELOPES - "WHERE IS MY MONEY?"
a clear, cozy view of fixed, flexible, and savings envelopes. identity-based names and soft colors-not accounting jargon.

LOG SPENDING IN SECONDS
add an expense with minimal taps. keyboard-friendly, remembered merchants, instant feedback. no mandatory notes, no lecture.

ACTIVITY
a gentle timeline of what happened recently-so you stay aware without doom-scrolling your finances.

CALENDAR
see what's coming up: bills and reminders, so surprises feel smaller.

GOALS & SAVINGS
watch progress on what matters. soft encouragement-not gamified pressure.

PAYDAY RITUAL
look forward to payday planning: refill envelopes, rebalance with kindness, and start the next stretch with clarity.

DESIGNED TO FEEL DIFFERENT
warm cream palette and rounded cards-not cold fintech white.

PRIVACY & ACCOUNT
sign in to sync your envelopes across devices. your budget stays yours-we're here to help you feel capable, not to sell your attention.
