Cashvelope v1.0: First Launch — track every dollar, on your terms

Track every dollar. Know where your money goes. No complicated setup required.

3 min read

Cashvelope is now available on Android. v1.0 is the first public release — the foundation we will keep building on.

The idea is simple: most people do not track their spending because tracking feels like work. Too many categories, too many screens, too much friction before you can log a single coffee. Cashvelope is built to fix that. Fast input, clear overview, nothing you do not need.

What's in v1.0

The first release covers the core loop — log money in, log money out, understand where you stand.

  • Income and expense tracking — add transactions in seconds. Pick a category, enter the amount, add an optional note, done. The flow is intentionally short.
  • Custom categories with icons — a set of default categories covers most situations. Rename them, reorder them, or add your own. Each one gets an icon so the list is scannable at a glance.
  • Monthly overview dashboard — the home screen shows your total income, total expenses, and net balance for the current month. No digging required.
  • Pie chart breakdown — see which categories are eating your budget at a glance. The chart updates in real time as you add transactions.
  • Local-first storage — all your data lives on your device. No account required to start. No data leaves your phone unless you choose to enable sync later.

Why local-first

Your financial data is among the most sensitive information on your phone. We chose local-first storage because we think that data should stay where it belongs: on your device, under your control, until you decide otherwise.

Cloud sync is coming — but it will always be opt-in, never a requirement to use the app. v1.0 works completely offline, completely without an account, and completely without sharing anything.

What comes next

The input experience is next. Logging a transaction should feel instant — better date picker, quicker category selection, notes field visible without having to scroll. v1.2 focuses entirely on making the add-transaction flow as fast as possible.

After that: category customization, a full redesign, cloud sync, and eventually multi-wallet support so you can track cash, bank, and card accounts separately. The roadmap is long. v1.0 is the start.
