Questions

Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Upload it to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets — the formulas and charts work. It also opens in Numbers and LibreOffice.

Can I change the categories?

Yes. Rename, add or remove categories on the Budget sheet and everything else follows.

Does it connect to my bank?

No — you type or paste your transactions in. Nothing leaves your computer.

How do I get the files?

Press Buy, sign in or create an account on our client portal and pay by card. Your download appears under My downloads as soon as payment goes through, and you can download it again at any time.

Something not right?

Email hello@daedalusdesign.co.uk and we'll put it right: a corrected file, a different format or a refund. See refunds and faulty files.
