Google Sheets lives on servers that scan your data for patterns. Every transaction you log — your rent, your salary, your medical bills — is indexed inside Google's infrastructure. That data informs ad targeting and product decisions. It's the hidden cost of "free."
FinTrack is a private vault. No bank connections, no data harvesting, and full export control anytime you want. Your numbers stay yours — period.

Google Sheets on Mobile
Pinch-to-zoom just to see your own cells

FinTrack on Mobile
OLED-optimized dark UI — readable in any light
One-tap entry drawer — amount, category, done
Instant balance update the moment you save
Projected month-end balance always visible
Charts scale perfectly to any screen size
No formulas to accidentally break
These are not edge cases — they're the normal experience of using Sheets for personal finance.
Templates built by strangers
Templates from the internet are designed for someone else's budget categories, income structure, and habits. Customising them breaks the formulas they depend on.
Silent formula failure
ARRAYFORMULA and SUMIF chains that power your totals are invisible until a structural change makes them stop working. The number looks fine — until it isn't.
No native time concept
Google Sheets has no concept of "this month" vs "last month." You build that logic yourself — month after month, year after year.
Manual chart maintenance
Chart data ranges need updating every single month. Forget once and your trend chart is lying to you.
No recurring transactions
There's no recurring transaction concept. You re-enter your rent, salary, and subscriptions from memory every month — and hope you don't forget one.
Direct comparison across every dimension that matters for personal finance tracking.
Privacy-First by Design
Your spending habits are not "Big Data." Unlike Google, we have zero access to your entries. FinTrack is a closed-loop system for your eyes only.
Mobile UX
Tiny cells and scrolling fatigue — pinch-zoom just to read your own numbers
High-contrast OLED dashboard — readable, tappable, instant
Privacy
Google-tracked financial data stored on servers that scan for patterns
Private, local-first control — your data never leaves your account
Monthly history
Manual monthly sheet duplication — copy, rename, clear, re-enter, repeat
Automatic monthly history — every period recorded without lifting a finger
Access control
Fragile shared access — anyone with the link can see your finances
Secure personal dashboard — Row Level Security enforced at the database
Your finances are personal. They deserve a tool built for privacy — not a general-purpose cloud spreadsheet that wasn't designed with your data in mind.
No Google account required · No data harvesting · 100% private
No import needed
Don't bother trying to clean up your old Google Sheet to "import" it. Start fresh today by entering your current balances. Experience financial clarity without the baggage of 100+ messy rows.
Don't waste hours trying to import messy CSV files or broken formulas. Start fresh: Enter your current balances, set your recurring bills, and let the dashboard take over. Your new financial timeline starts now.
Sign up in seconds. No credit card, no bank link, no complicated setup. Your dashboard is empty and waiting.
One number — your current checking balance. Your timeline starts from today, clean and organised.
Add rent, salary, and subscriptions once. FinTrack projects your month-end balance automatically.
Yes. Google Sheets stores your financial data on Google's infrastructure where it can be scanned and used to inform ad targeting. FinTrack does not scan your data, does not share it with third parties, and does not use it for any purpose other than showing you your own dashboard.
Yes — it's built for mobile-first speed. FinTrack is OLED-optimized with a one-tap entry drawer that logs a transaction in under 5 seconds. Google Sheets on mobile requires pinch-to-zoom on a grid never designed for touch. There is no comparison.
Just enter your current balances and go. No import wizard, no CSV cleanup, no migration headache. Open FinTrack, type your current account balance, add your recurring bills once, and your new financial timeline starts immediately.
Yes — and that is intentional. FinTrack is manual-entry only. You log your own transactions. No bank OAuth, no read access to your accounts. Your financial data stays in FinTrack and nowhere else.
