About Lifely: Envelope Budgeting
Split the month into envelopes, log what you spend in two taps, and see what is left in each one. No bank account to connect, no ads, and none of your figures leave the device. ENVELOPES, BECAUSE THAT IS HOW MONEY MAKES SENSE Food, rent, going out, the unexpected. Each envelope holds an amount and empties as you spend, so at any moment you know what is left for a thing without doing any arithmetic. It is the method your grandparents used, minus the paper. TWO TAPS AND IT IS IN Adding an expense is the thing you will do most, so it is the fastest thing in the app. Amount, category, done — straight from the widget, without even opening it. NO BANK, AND THAT IS THE POINT Lifely does not connect to your bank, never asks for credentials, and sends nothing to a server. There is no account to create and no password to remember. Your spending, budgets and receipts stay on the device, and they stay there when you have no signal. WHEN THE COST IS SHARED A flatshare, a trip with friends, a dinner. Log who paid for what and the app keeps the balances: who owes whom, and how much. No groups, no invitations, and nobody else has to install anything. TRIPS AND EVENTS, KEPT SEPARATE A trip has its own spending and should not muddy the monthly budget. In Lifely every trip, move or event is its own context, with its own total and its own split, and you can close it when it is over. THE THINGS THAT COME EVERY MONTH Subscriptions, bills, standing costs. Enter them once and they appear on their own each month, so the budget accounts for them before they land instead of after. RECEIPTS WITHOUT TYPING Photograph a receipt and Lifely reads the amount on the device itself. Neither the photo nor the text goes anywhere: the recognition is local, with no cloud involved. ALSO - Savings goals with visible progress - Debts and loans, with what is paid and what is left - Reports by category, month and context - A weekly close and a monthly review - Home Screen widgets and quick actions - Manual exports and backups, kept by you Lifely carries no ads, sells no data and talks to no bank. Your data stays yours. LIFELY PRO Recording, reading, editing and exporting your transactions is free forever, and anything you have already created stays as it is. Pro removes the three-envelope cap, opens the full history in reports, and adds shared expenses, spending contexts and receipts.
