About

Stash | Envelope Budget

Features
Read full description

Cash stuffing, without the cash. Stash is a simple envelope budget. When you get paid, stuff envelopes. When you spend, tap an envelope and enter the amount. That’s it — no bank login, no account, no monthly subscription. HOW IT WORKS • Add your paycheck • Stuff envelopes (groceries, gas, fun, bills) • Spend from the right envelope in seconds • Move money between envelopes anytime SINKING FUNDS Car insurance, Christmas, the vet — bills you already know are coming. Give them a target and a date so they sit tucked away, not mixed into “safe to spend.” WHY STASH • No bank connection. You enter the numbers. • Your checking balance stops lying • Big, readable amounts • Optional iCloud backup (Pro) if you get a new phone • One-time Pro. Not a subscription.
