They fall behind on entering transactions — and never catch up.
Aspire Turbo imports your bank's CSV and categorizes transactions automatically — so a full month of entries takes 2 minutes instead of becoming a chore you keep putting off.
New
Most people who quit budgeting do it because catching up on entries feels like homework. Aspire Turbo makes it 2 minutes — without asking for your bank password.
Download your bank statement, drop it in. Smart column mapping remembers your format — one click import from then on. No Plaid, no third-party access, no sharing your bank password.
Matches new transactions to categories based on your own past entries. No AI, no external services — just your history, working for you.
More features on the way — included in your subscription.
7-day free trial. That's less than a coffee — and it saves you hours each month.
Install the free add-on, then start your 7-day trial from the sidebar.
Give every dollar a job. Create custom categories, assign your income, and track what you spend — the same methodology used by YNAB, completely free.
Budget together in real time. Share your spreadsheet with a partner, family member, or financial advisor — no extra accounts or fees.
No servers, no sign-ups, no third parties. Your financial data lives in your own Google Drive and nowhere else.
See where your money goes with built-in spending reports, trend tracking over time, and income vs. expense breakdowns.
Add categories, rename groups, tweak formulas — it's your spreadsheet. Adapt it to fit your life, not the other way around.
A clean dashboard shows every balance at a glance. Log transactions, transfer between categories, and track multiple accounts — all in one sheet.
