UE Companion App
The UE Companion App is a browser-based web app that connects directly to your Google Sheet. Use it to manage your budget from your phone or desktop without opening the spreadsheet.

Requirements
- Any modern web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge)
- Your Google Sheet (UE) saved in your Google Drive
- A Google account to authorize the connection
See the Getting Started guide to connect the Companion App to your Sheet for the first time.
What’s in the App
The app has a tab for each part of your budget. Each page below covers what the tab shows and how to change its settings.
| Tab | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Home | Your budget at a glance: balances, envelope health, favorites, and recent activity |
| Envelopes | Envelope balances, per-envelope charts, and envelope settings |
| Balances | Accounts, net worth over time, and balance settings |
| Transactions | Add, edit, search, and categorize transactions |
| Payday | Fund your envelopes when you get paid, with funding templates |
| Settings | Theme, font size, starting tab, merchant logos, and your sheet connection |
Tip: tap the tab you’re already on to open its menu (the small arrow next to the name is the hint). That’s where each tab’s own settings live.
If you connected a Tiller Foundation sheet instead of a UE Sheet, the app shows budget vs. actuals instead of envelopes, and Payday funding isn’t available.
Help Inside the App (Now Available)
