MiniGeste: envelope budget

Start with 4 envelopes. Add your own.

You've tried budgeting apps before. Bank syncing, endless categories, charts everywhere — and after two weeks, you gave up. MiniGeste does the opposite: a monthly budget you can read at a glance, with no bank account to connect and no data leaving your phone.

The idea is straightforward — the envelope method: each month, split your money across your envelopes. Four are ready to go (Groceries, Going out, Transport, Savings) — add your own, rename them, change their colour. Log each expense in 3 taps. The gauges go down. When it's empty, it's empty.

📌 What MiniGeste does:

• Home screen widget — your remaining budget at a glance, tap an envelope to add an expense
• Visual gauges — what's left to spend in each envelope, visible in one second
• Entry in 3 taps — envelope, amount, description, done
• Money in — refunds and one-off income, kept separate from expenses
• Recurring expenses — subscriptions and rent logged once, recreated every month
• Transfers between envelopes — rebalance mid-month without redoing your budget
• Clear expense tracking — 12 months of history, searchable and sortable by date or amount
• Yearly view — trends and spending breakdown across the whole year
• Automatic monthly reset — new month, fresh envelopes, past months still there
• Customizable envelopes — name, budget, colour, icon, order, archiving
• Icon themes — optional, one-time purchase per theme, no subscription
• Lock with a PIN or fingerprint — keep your numbers private
• Currency and language — 8 currencies, interface in 14 languages
• Dark mode — easy on the eyes, day or night

🔒 Total privacy:

No account to create. No bank connection. No data collected, none sent over the internet. Your finances stay on your phone, period. MiniGeste works 100% offline — widget and lock included: none of it ever leaves your device. The only thing that goes through Google Play is the optional purchase of an icon theme.

💡 Who is it for?

For people who want simple budget management and to know where their money goes without spending hours on it. No bloated features, no subscription. Just you and your envelopes.

The envelope method — no account, no cloud, no hassle.
