The method

Budgeting that
actually works.

Envelope budgeting is one of the oldest and most effective personal finance methods. You divide your income into named categories before you spend it. When an envelope is empty, you stop — or consciously move money from somewhere else.

Why Envelop
  1. 01
    Your data stays on your machine
    A single .envelop file. Back it up anywhere. Open it in any text editor. No one else can see it — and with password protection, no one else can open it either.
  2. 02
    No account required, ever
    Download the app and start budgeting in under a minute. No email, no password, no onboarding.
  3. 03
    Works completely offline
    No internet required to run, save, or view your budget. Works on a plane, in a cabin, or when your connection drops.
  4. 04
    Free to use locally, forever
    The full app is free. Sync across devices will be optional and paid — you pay for infrastructure, not the software.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built for people who want to understand their money — not learn a new app.

Dual progress bars

Every envelope shows funding progress and spending progress side by side. Know what's allocated and what's left — at a glance.

Move & cover

Move funds between envelopes in one click. Cover overspending by choosing a source — the amount pre-fills automatically.

Credit card tracking

On-budget cards auto-move funds to a payment envelope as you spend. Always know what you owe and what's covered.

Split transactions

One Walmart run can hit groceries, clothing, and school supplies all at once. Split any transaction across as many envelopes as needed.

Reports

Income vs. spending, net worth over time, spending by envelope. Five report cards across any time period — 3M, 6M, 1Y, YTD, or by year.

AES-256 encryption

Set a password and your budget is encrypted end-to-end. Without your password, the file cannot be opened by any application.

Start budgeting
in under a minute.

No account. No setup. Just download and open.
