Nvelopes takes the classic envelope-stuffing style of budgeting and puts it right at your fingertips. Instead of complicated categories and pie charts, you get simple visual envelopes that you create yourself. FEATURES — Envelope Budgeting Add money to envelopes for groceries, fun, pizza, movies, golf lessons, house plants — whatever your life actually needs. Spend from envelopes, move money between them, or send it back to your main balance. — Debt Snowball Pay off debt strategically with the built-in snowball method. Tackle your smallest balances first and build momentum as each payment gets added to the next. — Payment Tracking Track recurring payments, bills, and debts on a weekly, biweekly, monthly, or yearly schedule. Mark payments paid or unpaid and keep a running total of what's left for the month. — Funds Set savings goals as Funds and watch your progress build toward vacations, emergencies, or big purchases. Every payment toward a Fund shows exactly how much you still need to save. Nvelopes gives you real budgeting power without making your brain hurt.
