Work Better, Together

This update is a big one. We’re introducing powerful new ways to collaborate with your team and have completely supercharged the tools you use every day. Your entire workflow is about to get faster, smarter, and more connected. Welcome to the next evolution of Splinde.

Say Hello to Workspaces

Budgeting is now a team sport. With Workspaces, you can invite your entire team into Splinde to collaborate on projects in real-time. Share budgets, see live updates, and keep everyone perfectly in sync. Say goodbye to outdated files and endless email chains, and hello to a single source of truth for all your project finances.

A Major Workflow Upgrade: Multi-Select & the Action Bar

Your workflow just got a serious speed boost. You can now select multiple cost items and sections at once to perform powerful batch operations. Simply hold Cmd to select everything you need, then use the new Action Bar to copy, paste, duplicate, or delete your selection in a single click. Prefer keyboard shortcuts? All the classics like Cmd+C and Cmd+V now work seamlessly. As you make your selection, the Action Bar instantly shows you a live subtotal of all selected Cost Items, including a complete breakdown of all AddOns. It’s never been easier to understand and manage your budget at a glance.

Your New Mission Control: The Reimagined Sidebar

We’ve completely redesigned the sidebar to become the central hub for your entire budget. It's cleaner, more organized, and packed with new capabilities.

Introducing Smart Subtotals: Gain instant financial clarity with automatic cost breakdowns. The sidebar now shows you a subtotal for every AddOn type – like Markups or Employer Contributions – used across your entire budget.

Total Clarity: A new Info Tab lets you rename your budget, add a description, track project timing, and set a status to keep everything organized.

Effortless Organization: Restructure your budget with ease in the new Sections Tab. Simply drag and drop sections to reorder and nest them exactly how you want.

Improvements & Fixes

• The Markup AddOn has been completely rebuilt. It’s now more powerful and flexible, allowing you to apply different markup values to different cost types (like items vs. social contributions) all within a single AddOn.

• We’ve unified number formatting across the app for better consistency and readability, using a dot as the thousands separator and a comma for decimals.

• Selecting and managing variables is now cleaner and more intuitive.

• A new "Insert" tab in the sidebar provides a simple, dedicated place to drag and drop new cost items and AddOns into your budget.

• The total budget sum is now always visible in the sidebar, so you never lose track of the bottom line.

• Navigating to a page that doesn't exist will now show a helpful screen to get you back on track.

• General UI refinements and numerous bug fixes make the entire app more stable and polished.

We can't wait to see how these new collaboration tools and workflow improvements empower your team.

As always, thank you for your continued feedback – it’s what helps us make Splinde better every day.

What’s New

Just weeks after our big beta launch, we’re back — with small changes that make a big difference.

Splinde 1.1.0 is all about polishing the experience, reducing clutter, and giving you more power where it counts. Whether you’re deep in the budget editor or just exploring new calculations, this update makes it all feel smoother, faster, and more intuitive.

Reference Anything: Even Inside AddOns

You can now link any value directly into an AddOn input.

This means things like adding a markup to social fees are now as easy as drag, drop, and link. It’s freedom for your formulas, without ever needing one.

AddOns, Now Collapsed by Default

Budgets can get long. AddOns now stay out of your way until you need them.

By default, they’re tucked away — making your editor cleaner and easier to scroll.

A Cleaner, Sleeker Cost Item UI

We gave the budget editor some love.

Everything from spacing to typography has been gently refined for a more polished and delightful editing experience.

Calculations Open in New Tabs

No more jumping back and forth.

When you create a new calculation, it now opens in its own tab, so you can work in parallel, side by side.

Fixes & Improvements

• Faster load times and better memory usage

• Improved stability when editing large budgets

• Fixed several edge-case bugs affecting AddOn previews

• General UI touch-ups across templates and document preview

Every Click Counts.

We believe great software disappears into the background letting you stay focused on your work, not the tool. This update brings us another step closer to that vision.

Thanks for building the future of budgeting with us. 🫶

Hello World. Splinde is here.

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 🫶🏼
