Tell your money where to go. Smart Envelope is the budgeting app built on a simple idea: every dollar belongs somewhere. Create an envelope for each spending category — Groceries, Gas, Rent, Coffee — set a limit, and watch where your spending goes. Built for the phone in your pocket. Three ways to log an expense: Snap a receipt. The AI reads the amount, the merchant, and the date, then drops it in the right envelope. You confirm with a tap. Speak it. "Thirty dollars gas, Costco." Done. Hands-free. Type it. When you're in a noisy place or you're working from memory, manual entry takes seconds. True envelope budgeting — not just category tracking. Most apps show you where your money went after the fact. Smart Envelope tells you what's left before you spend. You create each envelope and you set the limit. Each receipt is recorded and deducted. When it's getting low, you see it. When it's gone, you decide what to do — move money from another envelope, or hold off until next month. Adjusting your budget is easy. Your call. Built for your privacy, by design. Some budgeting apps have faced breaches, putting data at risk. Smart Envelope protects you by never needing bank access. Your budget stays on your phone. Smart Envelope is built differently: - No bank login because we never ask for one - Your transactions, balances, and budgets live on your phone - The AI reads each receipt only to categorize it and never stores what it sees - Receipt photos clear automatically when you start a new month, saving space. If you enable iCloud Photos backup in Settings, photos sync only to your own iCloud account No bank sync to break. Log a purchase in a snap by photo, voice, or typing, and see what's left in each envelope before you spend. Just a budgeting app that respects the fact that your money is your business. New to budgeting? Snap receipts for a month and let Smart Envelope show you what you actually spent. Then build your envelopes from real numbers, not guesses. The app teaches budgeting through doing.
