Sobres helps you take control of your money with the envelope method: instead of guessing where your paycheck went, you decide how much goes to each thing before you spend it. You split your money into "envelopes" (categories) like Housing, Groceries, Transportation or Savings. When you spend, it comes out of the matching envelope. So you always know how much you have left for each thing, with no surprises at the end of the month. HOW IT WORKS • Record your income and assign it across your envelopes. • Enter your expenses and watch each envelope's available amount go down. • What you don't spend rolls over to next month. • If you overspend an envelope, the app lets you know so you can rebalance. WHAT'S INCLUDED • Checking, savings, cash, credit card and investment accounts. • Credit card handling: set money aside to pay them off and keep debt from growing. • Expenses, income, transfers and split transactions. • Savings goals: set how much you want to save and by when. • Scheduled and recurring payments, with a calendar and reminders. • Net worth and visual reports of your spending by category. • Light and dark mode. ANY CURRENCY • Your budget can be in whichever currency you use, with your region's number format. • Accounts in other currencies: each transaction is saved at that day's exchange rate, which you can correct with the one you actually got. • Transfers between currencies and an exchange-rate adjustment when you want it. PRIVATE AND SECURE • Face ID / Touch ID lock. • Privacy mode to hide your balances at a glance. • Your data syncs with your account so you have it on all your devices, and on the web. IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH Sobres follows your phone's language. To use a different one just for Sobres: Settings → Sobres → Language. Take control of your spending, one envelope at a time.
