I've not had to dip into my emergency fund or sinking fund or use overdraft. I've even managed to put some money towards debt and not reuse it” - @Nicola Disney Pomeranian Mummy "Been using budget bestie for a month!The monthly recap made me realize I spend so much on little things (like buying to go lunch everyday) since it's in budget, but never seen how much it adds up" – @Julia "This app is great I have been searching for a budgeting app that lets me budget per check and this is it” - @Chy6699 “Definitely helped me the last two weeks.

What’s new
Version 1.7.2 · Updated October 17, 2026
hey besties, budget bestie has a fresh new look: a lighter pink, a plus right in the middle, and cleaner envelope cards that show what's left at a glance. when money is waiting, home shows one stuff now button. new envelopes pick an emoji from the name, or choose your own. you can see the amount you type while you stuff. we fixed a few things too: stuffing never changes an envelope you didn't touch, the recap's money in list matches what you made, and if your connection drops as you open the app, it lets you in and brings your envelopes back on its own once you're online. keep on stuffing!
