### 5/5 — Review

*2026-08-12*

This app works great for simple budgeting!

### 5/5 — Clean envelope UI to help me budget

*2025-04-01*

Envelope budgeting is my preferred method of budgeting and this app nails it. It’s easy to understand and has a good onboarding flow to get you started with default envelopes. I like that’s it’s free and you only pay for reporting and some other small features if you want them. The developer seems open to feedback and took some of my suggestions into account when I reached out.

I’d recommend this app to someone who prefers envelope budgeting and doesn’t need bank linking. Hopefully connecting to banks for auto import can come in the future!

Thanks for making this app! -Igor
