## What is Envelope Budget?

Stop wondering where your money went. Start telling it where to go.

Fundwise uses the proven zero-based envelope budgeting method to help you take complete control of your finances. Every dollar gets a job, every expense is planned, and you always know exactly what you can afford to spend.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Add your income to Ready to Assign
2. Assign every dollar to budget categories (envelopes)
3. Spend only what is in each envelope
4. Adjust as life happens - move money between categories anytime

It is simple, flexible, and incredibly effective.

FEATURES

- Zero-Based Budgeting
Assign every dollar a purpose. No more money slipping through the cracks.

- Multiple Accounts
Track checking, savings, credit cards, and cash - all in one place. See your complete financial picture.

- Smart Credit Card Handling
Automatically tracks what you owe. When you budget for a purchase, the money is set aside for your credit card payment.

- Split Transactions
One purchase, multiple categories. Split a grocery run across Food, Household, and Dining so every dollar lands in the right envelope automatically.

- Goals and Targets
Save for vacation, emergency fund, or that new laptop. Set monthly targets or save by a specific date.

- Age of Money
See how long your money sits before you spend it. The longer, the better — it means you're spending last month's income, not scrambling to cover this month's bills.

- Bulk Actions
Select multiple transactions at once to categorize, clear, flag, or delete them in a single tap. Ideal after importing a CSV or reconciling a statement.

- Recurring Transactions
Set up bills and subscriptions once. Fundwise generates them automatically so you never miss a payment.

- Budget vs Actual Reports
See exactly how your spending compares to what you planned — per category, per month. Spot overspending before it becomes a habit.

- Beautiful Widgets
See your Ready to Assign balance, spending summary, and account balances right from your Home Screen.

- Import Your Data
Import transactions directly from your bank or credit card as CSV files. Works with exports from Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and most major banks.

- iCloud Sync
Access your budget on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Everything syncs automatically through your personal iCloud.

PRIVACY FIRST

Your financial data is yours alone. Fundwise stores everything in YOUR personal iCloud account using end-to-end encryption. We cannot see your transactions, balances, or budgets - ever. No analytics, no tracking, no data selling. Period.

PRICING

Cancel anytime. Your data remains yours even if you unsubscribe.

WHY ENVELOPE BUDGETING?

Traditional budgets track what you already spent. Envelope budgeting is different - you decide WHERE to spend BEFORE you spend it. This simple shift transforms how you think about money.

Millions of people have used envelope budgeting to:
- Pay off debt faster
- Stop living paycheck to paycheck
- Build emergency savings
- Save for big purchases without stress
- Finally feel in control of their finances

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-04-11

We've polished a few things to make Fundwise feel even better:

Transfer transactions now show a helpful message when tapped, so it's clear they can't be edited directly
Budget screen correctly shows an "All Categories Hidden" message instead of the empty state when you've hidden all your groups
Reports now have a consistent look when there's no data to display
Dark mode badges are now more legible with improved contrast
Buttons have a more responsive press feel throughout the app

- Improved CSV import — now handles bank files exported in European and Indian encodings
- Bug fixes and performance improvements

### 1.1.0 — 2026-03-12

Split Transactions
Split a single purchase across multiple budget categories. Add a grocery run that also covered household supplies and dining — each category gets its own amount. A balance indicator keeps totals honest before you save.

Age of Money
New report in the Reports tab. See how long your money sits before you spend it — a classic YNAB metric. Color-coded (green = 30+ days), with a 6-month history chart and personalised tips.

Bulk Actions
Tap Select in Transactions to multi-select. Categorize, clear, flag, or delete dozens of transactions in one go. Perfect for import clean-up.

Transactions Tab
A dedicated tab now shows all transactions across every account, with filter chips (All · Expenses · Income · Transfers · Uncategorized) and an account filter bar. The tab badge shows how many transactions still need a category.

Pay Credit Card
One-tap payment flow directly from your credit card account. Automatically moves money from your checking account and keeps your budget envelope in sync.

Edit Transactions
Tap any transaction to edit the amount, payee, category, date, memo, or account — including converting a regular transaction to a split.

Category Notes
Add free-text notes to any budget category — useful for tracking saving goals, purchase plans, or reminders.

Payee Management
New page in Settings → Data → Manage Payees. See usage counts, rename payees, and update default categories.

Copy Last Month (one tap)
Tap ··· in the Budget tab and choose Copy Last Month to instantly mirror last month's budgeted amounts across all categories.

Bug Fixes & Polish

Budget carryover now processes correctly when navigating between months
Account balance and cleared balance stay accurate across all edit/delete flows
Split transactions show a badge in both Transactions and Account Detail views
Budget screen now shows a helpful empty state for new users
