MonetrixOS for Google Sheets is a Google Sheets add-on that turns a spreadsheet into a complete system for your money: what comes in, what goes out, what you save and what you owe. It lives in your own Google Sheets workbook.
- A Google account, to use Google Sheets.
- A computer: the add-on runs in Google Sheets in a web browser, not in the Google Sheets mobile apps.
- A MonetrixOS licence: $9.99, paid once. See Buying & your licence.
- Buy a licence.
- Check your email. You receive your licence key and getting-started instructions.
- Install the add-on. Your licence email explains how.
- Open the add-on and give Google permission. Each person does this once.
- Enter your licence key.
- Follow the 3-step setup wizard. Your workbook is built automatically.
Your workbook has a tab for each part of your finances:
- Dashboard — the overview of your money for a period.
- Transactions — your income and expenses.
- Movements — transfers between your own accounts.
- Accounts — where your money is kept.
- Budgeting — your spending targets.
- Savings & Goals — what you are saving for.
- Loans — what you owe and your progress paying it off.
- Recurrings — payments that repeat.
- Budget History and Net Worth History — monthly snapshots.
The add-on also has a sidebar, a compact view of your money that opens next to the sheet.
The add-on works in English, French, Spanish and Arabic. You choose your language and your currency when you set up the workbook.
One licence covers one workbook, shared by up to 5 people. See Household members & sharing.
