Our story

From a spreadsheet to Budget Leashed.

Built to keep the control and reduce the upkeep.

We liked our spreadsheet. We got tired of maintaining it.

Budget Leashed began as a small family project, built from a spreadsheet for income, bills, reminders, and notes. It helped us stay aware of our money, but keeping it current meant copying entries, pasting formulas, and rebuilding the same plans month after month.

We wanted to keep that hands-on approach while spending less time on repeat work. Income and bills could keep their own schedules, with calculations and optional automatic entries handled by the app.

That became Budget Leashed: a way to spend less time maintaining a budget and more time reviewing it. The choices about income, spending, and priorities stay with you.

Our mission

Less upkeep. More time for your decisions.

Make the recurring work of budgeting easier, while keeping the plan personal.

A routine that fits

Give income and expenses their own schedules. Choose your categories, set planned amounts, and update them when life changes.

Numbers you can review

Import a CSV or enter transactions yourself, then compare recorded spending with your plan. Optional automatic entries use the amounts you set; they do not pay bills or move money.

Your household in view

Use member labels such as Mia and Alex, with Shared for household entries. Compare income and spending within your account; members do not have separate logins.

Privacy by design

Your budget is personal. It should stay that way.

Built for people who want control over their money and their information.
