Can you do envelope style budgeting with lunch money? I think I'll give it a shot regardless.

We don't adhere to any one budgeting philosophy. While we won't walk you through the envelope style budgeting the way YNAB does, you can certainly mimic it with the platform!
I had a checklist of requirements:

* OXF import so that duplicate transactions are not an issue.

* An iPhone app so my wife can see the state of the budget.

* Envelop budgeting by default.

Lunch Money meets none of these. I don't think I am the target market, but the UI has won me over. I'm totally going to do everything I can to make this work. I suspect the API will make that possible.

Amazing job on the interface, clean fast and appealing while showing loads of information all at once.
