Stuf – Simple Budget Digital cash stuffing for your real life. Stuf brings the envelope budgeting method to your iPhone — no spreadsheets, no complexity, no subscriptions required to get started. The idea is simple: divide your money into named envelopes before you spend it. Groceries. Rent. Eating out. Fun money. When an envelope is empty, you're done spending in that category. Stuf makes this effortless and beautiful. HOW IT WORKS Create envelopes for every spending category in your life. Give each one a name, an emoji, and a budget amount. As you spend, log transactions against the right envelope. Stuf tracks what's left so you always know exactly where you stand — without having to do the math yourself. At the end of the month, reset and start fresh. Stuf saves your history automatically so you can look back at any month and see how you did. FEATURES • Envelope budgeting — create as many categories as you need, each with its own budget and spending tracker • Spending history — browse every past month in a visual calendar. See at a glance whether each month was on track, over budget, or under • Live overview — a summary card shows your total budgeted, total spent, and how much is left this month • Donut charts — a visual breakdown of your spending per envelope and across your whole budget • Month history — automatically snapshots your data when the month rolls over, so you never lose a record • iCloud backup — back up and restore your data across devices with one tap • Beautiful themes — choose from multiple binder skins to match your style (Pro) • CSV export — export all your transactions to a spreadsheet for deeper analysis (Pro) • No account required — everything lives on your device and iCloud. No sign-up, no server, no tracking STUF PRO Unlock the full experience with a single one-time purchase: • Unlimited envelopes (free plan includes up to 5) • All premium themes • CSV export • No restrictions, ever Pro is a one-time purchase — not a subscription. Buy once, use forever. DESIGNED FOR SIMPLICITY Stuf is intentionally minimal. No bank syncing, no complicated reports, no feature bloat. Just you, your money, and your envelopes. If you've tried big budgeting apps and found them overwhelming, Stuf is the antidote. Cash stuffing has helped millions of people take control of their finances by making spending feel real and intentional. Stuf gives you the same power in a clean, modern app you'll actually want to open every day. Start stuffing. Stay on budget.
