Own your financial data, and take it with you
A budgeting app that makes leaving difficult has a reason for it. TheWalletly stores your ledger in your own Drive and hands it back in formats other software can read.
Getting your data out
Every table exports to CSV — accounts, expenses, income, transfers and the rest — so a single month or a single ledger can be pulled out on its own. There is also a whole-workbook Excel download that puts every table into one spreadsheet, with a sheet per section.
The Excel exporter is loaded only when you ask for it, so the page weight is not carried by everyone who never exports.
Backups you can actually restore
Beyond exports, the whole wallet can be downloaded as a single JSON backup and restored from that file later. Restore is the part most tools skip: an export you cannot re-import is a report, not a backup.
Because the format is plain JSON rather than a proprietary container, it stays readable with ordinary tools even if you never open this app again.
Bringing data in
CSV import lives under Settings, so a ledger kept in a spreadsheet can be moved across without retyping it. Import, export and backup are Premium tools — the core ledger itself is free to keep using. Pricing has the current split.
The storage underneath
All of this sits on top of a wallet file in your own Google Drive rather than a database of ours. How Drive sync works covers where that file lives and what permission the app holds over it.
