Can I budget well without linking my bank?

銀行に接続せずに予算を立てる。

TallieUp never connects to a bank. You record spending or import a CSV file, and Today shows what is left in your budgets.

BALANCE

What you have across your accounts. Ideally, use your bank balance. TallieUp never connects to a bank.

In the app: the Balance quick action. One total, or split by account.

A balance is optional

In the app · How this number is calculated
TallieUp works from your plan, not your bank. So each month starts at $0, and a bill that comes before payday dips below zero. The fix is one number: set your balance on any day, and the Timeline starts from there.

A balance never enters safe to spend. It is what is left in your budgets this monthly period.

With a balance set, the Timeline can show your real low point: the lowest day and how low it goes.

Where the numbers come from

In the app
You set up your plan once: income, bills and budgets. After that, you only track what changes.
  • Record spending

    Type the amount and choose a budget. The sheet shows what will be left in that budget.

  • Import a CSV

    Settings › Import data adds accounts, budgets, plan items and projects from a CSV. Guided import matches your own columns.

  • Set a balance

    Optional. One total, or split by account. The Timeline starts from it.

Budgeting without a bank feed, step by step

  1. Add income, bills and everyday budgetsYou can skip any step.
  2. Record spending as it happensThe sheet shows what will be left in the budget.
  3. Check Today before you spendSafe to spend is what is left in your budgets.

What to know without bank sync

  • Nothing comes in on its own. Spending you don’t record isn’t in the plan. In Reports, the app says “An empty month may mean missing records.”
  • Any balance in TallieUp is one you type in.
  • Say it and Scan aren’t promised on every build. Where they aren’t available, you type instead.
  • Import is CSV only.

Questions and answers

Do I need to connect my bank?

No. TallieUp never connects to a bank. You record spending or import a CSV file.

Can I import a spreadsheet?

Yes, as CSV. Settings › Import data takes a TallieUp-format CSV, or any CSV through Guided import, which matches your columns.

Why isn’t it my bank balance?

It is a planning number. TallieUp never connects to a bank, and any balance in the app is one you type in.

You can start with a demo plan.

When the app is available to you, its first screen offers four ways in. One is a demo plan.
