How it works

Three steps to a budget that finally sticks.

The envelope method is older than banks — and it works because it's simple. ZappExpense brings it to your pocket without the spreadsheets.

1

Name your envelopes

Create an envelope for everything that matters — rent, groceries, date nights, an emergency buffer. You decide the categories, you set the limits.

2

Fill them with money

When you get paid, share your income across your envelopes so every euro has a job. Set auto-refills on payday so it happens without you lifting a finger.

3

Spend and track

Log an expense in two taps and it's instantly subtracted from the right envelope. You always know exactly what's safe to spend.

Everything inside

A calm, complete money system — not just a tracker.

Five kinds of envelopes, rollover, savings goals, recurring bills and a little gamification to keep you going. All offline, all on your phone.

Five kinds of envelopes

Spending, fixed bills, savings, income and a buffer — each behaves the way that category actually should.

Spending Fixed Savings Income Buffer

Rollover & auto-refill

Unused money rolls into next month instead of vanishing. Schedule top-ups from any envelope so payday tops everything up automatically.

Savings goals

Target a number or a date and watch the progress fill.

Holiday fund53%

Recurring & subscriptions

Keep every monthly charge in one place and let bills post themselves on schedule.

Transfers & buffer

Overspent on dinner? Move money between envelopes, or let your buffer quietly cover the gap.

Streaks, levels & a wellness score

Small wins, celebrated. A daily streak and a money-wellness score turn good habits into a game you actually want to keep playing.

Works anywhere, even offline

No signal on the metro? No problem. Every feature works fully offline because your budget never depended on a server to begin with.

Give every euro a job

Plan the whole month in a couple of minutes.

Lay your income across envelopes and instantly see what's committed, what's flexible and what's left. No mental maths, no surprises at the end of the month.

  • Daily to yearly periods — budget on whatever rhythm your life and pay run on.
  • Lock & pause envelopes — protect savings from accidental spending.
  • Surplus suggestions — nudge spare cash toward savings at month's end.
Privacy by architecture

Your money is nobody else's business.

Most budgeting apps need your bank logins and park your spending on their servers. ZappExpense was built the opposite way: there's simply no server holding your data, so there's nothing to leak, sell, or subpoena.

Stored only on your device

Envelopes, transactions and goals live in your phone's private storage — never uploaded.

Face ID lock & hidden amounts

Lock the app behind biometrics and blur sensitive figures with one tap when you're in public.

Yours to export or erase

Your data belongs to you. Keep it, export it, or delete everything instantly — it was always only ever here.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

How much does ZappExpense cost?
It's free to download and use. There's nothing to subscribe to in order to budget — open the app and go.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There's no sign-up, no email and no password. The moment you open ZappExpense you can start creating envelopes — your data lives on your device from the very first tap.
Do I have to connect my bank?
Never. There are no bank connections of any kind. You log expenses in a couple of taps, which keeps things private, secure and refreshingly simple.
Where is my financial data stored?
Entirely on your phone, in the app's private storage. ZappExpense doesn't run a cloud that holds your budget, so your spending never leaves your device. You can read more in our Privacy Policy.
What happens to my data if I delete the app?
Because everything lives on your device, removing the app removes your data too. If you're switching phones, export your budget first so you can keep your history.
Which devices are supported?
ZappExpense is available on iPhone via the App Store. Android is on the way — keep an eye out.
