Give every dollar a job. Pocketvelope brings the classic cash-stuffing method to your phone: split each paycheck into envelopes, spend from them, and always know exactly what's left. Instead of one blurry balance, you divide your income into envelopes like Groceries, Gas, Rent and Fun. Every dollar has a place. When you spend, you subtract it from the right envelope and watch what remains in real time. HOW IT WORKS 1. Fill your envelopes on payday. Split your income across your envelopes with quick sliders, or reuse last period's plan with a single tap. 2. Spend in seconds. Enter an amount, pick the envelope, add an optional note. A satisfying rubber-stamp confirms it. That's it. 3. Watch each envelope's health. A color bar shows green, amber or red so you can see at a glance which envelopes are healthy and which are running low. 4. Reset automatically. Choose weekly, biweekly or monthly periods and Pocketvelope starts fresh each time. Leftover cash can roll over to your savings total. 5. Learn from Insights. See spending by envelope, which envelopes always run short, and how much you've saved over time from unspent cash. WHY POCKETVELOPE - Real envelope budgeting, not a generic expense tracker. The whole flow is built around assign, spend, and see what's left. - Fast by design. Logging a spend takes under five seconds. - Fully offline. Everything lives on your device. No account, no sign-up, no bank connections. - Warm, tactile design inspired by paper envelopes, rubber stamps and receipt-style numbers. - Weekly, biweekly or monthly periods, multiple currencies, light and dark themes. Make a plan you can actually stick to. Stuff your envelopes each paycheck and spend with confidence, knowing every dollar already has a job.

Tackle your smallest balances first and build momentum as each payment gets added to the next. โ Payment Tracking Track recurring payments, bills, and debts on a weekly, biweekly, monthly, or yearly schedule.

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.
