About the Budgeting App

Envelope is a budgeting app design template built around a "Ledger Warmth" aesthetic: a warm paper-cream backdrop, deep ink-charcoal figures, sage green for positive balances, and terracotta clay reserved only for overspending. One rule runs through every screen, color appears only on money, so the numbers that matter read instantly while everything structural stays calm ink-on-cream.

Instead of floating cards, the layout uses hairline ledger rules and tactile "envelope" rows: each budget category shows a fill meter that drains from sage toward clay as you spend, with the remaining cents pinned to the right. The template ships six connected screens that form a complete money-tracking flow: a Home with an oversized "Safe to spend" figure, a Budget grouped into Needs and Wants, a Ledger of dated transactions, a Groceries category detail with a weekly spend pattern, an Insights view comparing this month to last, and a Profile with linked accounts and settings.

Use it in Sleek and make it yours: restyle the palette, edit any screen with AI by describing the change, and add the flows your product needs. Then export to code, copy into Figma with no plugin, or hand a prompt to an AI agent to build it for real, far faster than starting from a blank canvas.

Screens included

Home

A hero "Safe to spend" figure in oversized sage numerals sits above a thin month-progress rule and a stack of active envelope rows showing spent, remaining, and budget for Groceries, Dining Out, and Transport.

Budget

The full envelope list grouped into Needs and Wants with per-group totals, a total monthly budget header, and an "Unassigned Funds" banner prompting you to allocate $220.

Ledger

A dated transaction ledger with All, Expenses, Income, and Pending filters, each row tagged with a category flap and color-coded by sage income or ink expense.

Category Detail

One envelope expanded to show a large percent-spent meter, a four-week weekly spend pattern bar chart, and the underlying Groceries transaction list.

Insights

A savings-rate figure with month-over-month change, a spending-by-category bar comparison, and a clay budget-overrun callout with a "Fix Now" action for the one overspent envelope.

Profile

Linked accounts with balances, monthly income and payday cycle settings, a "Link New Account" button, and notification toggles for staying on top of the ledger.

Questions, answered. Everything to know before you start.

How do I build a budgeting app from this template?

Click "Use this template" to open it in Sleek as your own editable project, then shape it by describing the changes you want: restyle the palette, edit any screen, and add the flows your product needs. You start from six complete screens instead of a blank canvas, so you reach a working budgeting app design much faster.

What screens are included in this budgeting app design template?

Six connected screens: Home with a safe-to-spend figure, Budget grouped into Needs and Wants, a Ledger of transactions, a Category detail with a weekly spend chart, Insights comparing months, and a Profile with linked accounts. Together they cover the core flow of a real budgeting app.

Can I customize the budgeting app UI design?

Yes. Use the template in Sleek and edit any screen by chatting with the AI: change the palette, adjust the envelope rows, rename categories, or add new flows. There's no manual redraw; you describe the change and it's applied.

Is this budgeting app design template free to use?

You can open and explore the design for free, then use it in your own Sleek project to build on it. Editing and exporting follow Sleek's standard plans.

Can I export the design to code or Figma?

Yes. Sleek exports your design as code, copies straight into Figma with no plugin, or hands you a ready-made prompt that an AI agent like Claude Code or Cursor can use to build it into a real, working app.

Is this template suitable for an envelope or zero-based budgeting app?

Absolutely. The envelope rows, fill meters, and unassigned-funds banner map directly onto envelope and zero-based budgeting methods. Adjust the categories and allocation rules to fit your product.
