Envelope budgeting
for humans.

Allocate the must-pays. Just track the rest. Your money has a future you can see. Your data never leaves your devices.

Envelopes hold real money.

Every dollar gets a job. Categories inside an envelope split that job into details: locked must-pays like rent, loose tracking like coffee. Same envelope, your call on how tight.

One paycheck. Three envelopes. No spreadsheet.

When the paycheck lands, you fund what matters first. Rent and the must-pays. Then top off the goal. Whatever's left rides in the flex envelope. The math takes seconds.

Discipline where it matters. Looseness where it doesn't.

Most apps pretend every dollar deserves a spreadsheet. werkBudget admits the truth: a few categories need real money set aside, and the rest just need to be seen.

Must-pay or just-track

Two modes per category. Rent, utilities, subscriptions get locked allocations. Coffee, takeout, weekend wandering just count up so you see them in reports. Switch any time.

Credit cards, honest

By default, a swipe drains your envelope right away. So when the statement lands, the cash is already set aside. Carrying a balance? Flip the card to Credit mode and it waits until you pay the bill.

Accounts and goals you'll recognize

Pick a symbol and color for every account and every goal. Two checking accounts at the same bank stop looking identical. Your eye lands on what matters in one beat.

Same data. Bigger keyboard.

werkBudget runs natively on Mac too. Drop a CSV from your bank into the Mac inbox, sort fast with your trackpad, and the rows are already on your iPhone before you close the lid.

iCloud syncs your envelopes across iPhone and Mac. Same private database. No extra account.

Your money. Your device. End of story.

werkBudget is local-first. Sync happens through your own iCloud private database. Nobody else, including us, can see it.

  • No analytics, no third-party SDKs, no tracking
  • No account to create · iCloud handles sync silently
  • Data lives in your iCloud private database, encrypted by Apple
  • Optional Face ID lock for shoulder-surfers
  • Privacy policy in public Git history, not a PDF nobody reads

Take it for a spin.
