This project is looking for a new maintainer.

Personal budget application for the Elementary OS desktop. It is written in Vala and uses the Granite framework.

http://nlaplante.github.io/envelope

Envelope helps you maintain your personal budget by using the tried-and-true envelope system. You designate spending categories (envelopes) and distribute your monthly income into them.

Envelope lets you configure accounts where you record all your transactions. You then assign each of them to a category.

In Elementary OS, Envelope is known as Budget.

• Envelope system budget workflow
• Import transactions from QIF/OFX files
• Integrates with the Elementary OS desktop

Envelope is available as a daily build package in ppa:nicolas-laplante/envelope-daily. Just add the ppa and install envelope like this:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nicolas-laplante/envelope-daily
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install envelope

There ain't no binary package distribution except for Elementary OS yet. To use Envelope now, you'll have to build it from sources.

• cmake
• Vala >=0.23.2
• glib >=2.29.0
• gio-2.0
• Gtk+ >=3.10
• libgee-0.8
• granite-0.3
• sqlheavy-0.1

$ git clone https://github.com/nlaplante/envelope
$ cd envelope
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
$ make

From there you can either use the binary in build/src/envelope or install it:

$ sudo make install

You can also run the unit tests:

$ tests/envelope-tests
