More dedication to envelope budgeting
Currently categories used as envelopes show a positive balance as a negative amount and the bar is empty. Maybe add some option so that I can see my envelope categories as a positive amount with a full bar.
BTW Love the site, God bless you for your work!

Thank you for the kind words. Love to hear that you’re enjoying FreeBudget!
When you say a category shows a positive balance as a negative amount, are you setting a monthly budget for that category in the Budget tab and then tracking your spending against it? In other words, you’d like the bar to show what’s left rather than what’s been used?
If so, that makes sense. One of our main goals with FreeBudget is simplicity, so we’ve intentionally tried to keep budgeting flexible rather than locking everyone into one specific methodology. That said, this is helpful feedback as we think through better envelope-style budgeting for users who want that.
