Today, we’re launching the very first public beta of Splinde — a powerful new way to calculate and manage budgets. Designed for people who work in projects, built for those who are tired of Excel chaos, and crafted to feel delightful.
With this first release, we’re introducing an entirely new experience in budgeting. No code. No formulas. No mess. Just clarity, speed, and control.
What’s New
A New Way to Calculate
Drag. Drop. Done.
Splinde lets you build, organize, and manage your cost structure visually — no formulas needed. Want to add employer contributions or VAT? Just drop in an AddOn. Need to change the cost structure? Just Drag it and drop it in its new place.
Templates That Get You Started Fast
Start from zero? Never again.
Our Template Gallery lets you kick off your work with pre-built structures. And when you’ve got a setup you love, turn it into your own template — with a name, picture, and description.
Live Document Preview
Turn budgets into offers instantly. Generate beautiful offer documents in real-time. Watch them change as you calculate, scale them up or down, and safe them as a PDF with a click.
“@” is the New “=A32+BG65“
Link values across your budget with the ease of tagging a friend. No syntax. No headaches. Just click “@”, pick a value, and it’s connected — clean, traceable, and always valid.
Excel SCoPE Import
Built for German Film Producers. Drag and drop your existing SCoPE Excel budgets right into Splinde. Continue where you left off — we support back to version 19. It’s never been easier to leave the past behind.
User Management
Log in with Google, personalize your profile, and get started in seconds.
We’ve built a warm and welcoming onboarding flow — because first impressions matter.
What’s Better
For our early closed beta testers, thank you. Here’s what’s improved thanks to your feedback:
Blazing Fast Performance — real-time reactivity for every variable and formula.
Smarter Local Storage — fewer server calls, more snappy experience.
Upgraded Security — updated libraries, better stability.
What’s Fixed
Document preview now updates in real time
Drag-and-drop is smoother than ever.
Modals behave. All of them.
What’s Changing
We’ve rebuilt our entire data model to support reference values and future-proof scalability.
Yes, this is a breaking change — and it means existing closed beta calculations won’t carry over. We know this is a pain. But it’s the right foundation for everything to come. Think of it as the jump from floppy disk to cloud.
Welcome to a World Without Excel.
Splinde is more than software. It’s the start of a movement to make budgeting intuitive, collaborative, and even enjoyable.
This is just the beginning.
And we’re thrilled to have you with us.
Thank you 🫶🏼
