A / THE IDEA

Most budget apps want to become your bank. Budgie would rather be a good window into a sheet you control.

Connect an existing spreadsheet, map the columns you already use, and choose whether Budgie may write back or stay completely read-only.

1

Bring a sheet

Pick an existing Google Sheet or let Budgie make a clean one for you. Your familiar rows remain the foundation.

2

Map it once

Tell Budgie which columns mean date, amount, note, and category. A live preview makes the connection obvious.

3

Watch your pace

See today’s safe spend, your month-end forecast, and the small correction that gets you back on track.

B / DAILY USE

A budget that speaks
in today-sized numbers.

Dashboard

$84.20

Know what today can hold.

Budgie blends your recent pace with the month so one strange day doesn’t boss the whole forecast around.

Log it while it’s fresh.

Add a clean transaction or paste messy notes and review the result before anything reaches your sheet.

Your rules
Read-onlyTwo-way

You decide what Budgie may touch.

Use the app as a viewer, or turn on two-way sync for adding, editing, and deleting sheet rows.

C / PRIVACY

Your money story
is not our product.

Budgie uses Google’s sign-in and Sheets APIs to work with the spreadsheet you choose. It does not ask for bank credentials, sell your transaction history, or move your budget into a shared Budgie database.

  • You explicitly choose the sheet
  • Read-only mode never writes to it
  • Disconnect whenever you like
