Tiller automates your daily spending, transactions, and balances into a spreadsheet to give you ultimate control over your budget. A Tiller Community Solution, called the Savings Budget, can be added on top of the out-of-the-box Foundation Template from Tiller if you prefer the envelope or zero-sum method.
It makes zero-sum budgeting in a spreadsheet easy. You can allocate unspent funds to any other category, such as “savings” or “vacation” and quickly see how much is left in your envelope. Learn more here.

Chris Lozac’h, 05/14/2021, Google Workspace Marketplace review: “Tiller’s AutoCat feature intelligently categorizes based on simple rules under my full control. Result? It gets it right 100% of the time, leaving a small number of transactions for me to do manually. Of course, those transactions are exactly the ones that need my attention because they fall outside my usual habits. Thanks to Tiller, I have complete control of my financial data, along with complete peace of mind.”
