About Cash Envelope Budget Tracker
Retro Expense Tracker is a cash envelope budget app that turns your daily spending into a cash register and a paper receipt.
A simple budget and expense tracker for building a calmer money habit, one receipt a day.
CASH ENVELOPES FOR THE WEEK
- Like cash stuffing: split a week's money into envelopes by category.
- Each expense takes bills and coins out and shows your change.
- On Sunday, print the weekly settlement and whatever is left drops into the savings jar.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick a category and tap the amount on the keypad. Add an item name if you like.
2. Press ADD and a new line prints on today's receipt.
3. At the end of the day, press CLOSE to stamp the receipt.
A DAY YOU CAN HOLD
- Closed receipts get a stamp with the time and are locked. Reopen any time to fix something.
- Close a day with nothing spent and it is saved as a no-spend day, separate from days you simply skipped.
- Thermal receipts slowly turn yellow as they get older.
- Flip through recent receipts and tap an entry to change its amount, name or category.
YOUR MONTH ON ONE RECEIPT
- Share of spending by category
- Spending by date, days with expenses and no-spend days
- Highest spending day and daily average
- Tap a date to jump straight to that day's receipt
MAKE IT YOURS
- Paper styles: thermal, dot matrix and ledger
- Clicky key sounds (muted when your phone is on silent or vibrate)
- Many currencies, including ones with cents
- 11 languages: English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Vietnamese and Indonesian
- Try sample entries first to see how it works
DAILY CLOSE REMINDER
Get a nudge at the time you choose. Days you have already closed are skipped.
YOUR RECORDS STAY ON YOUR PHONE
- No sign-up or login.
- Your entries are saved only on this device and are not sent to a server.
- Save a JSON backup to any folder you choose and restore it whenever you need.
GREAT FOR
- Anyone who started a budget app and gave up
