Questions
If yours isn't here, email me. It's one person, so you'll get a real answer.
A2 Do I need to pay for Google Sheets?
No. A free Google account is enough. The templates are Google Sheets, full stop — it's free, it runs in any browser, and the phone app is good.
B3 Is there an Excel version?
No. Sheetli templates are built for Google Sheets, and the newest ones use things Excel doesn't have — checkboxes wired to formulas, sparklines, native charts. If you're an Excel person, the good news is that Google Sheets is free and takes about a minute to learn.
C4 How do I actually get my copy?
You get a PDF with a view-only Google Sheets link. Open it, choose File → Make a copy, and the copy lands in your own Drive. It's yours forever, it's private to your account, and you can't accidentally break the master.
D5 Can you see what I type into it?
No. Your copy lives in your Drive under your account. I have no access to it and no way to see a single number in it. That's a property of how Google Sheets copies work, not a promise I'm asking you to trust.
E6 Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Every template works in the Google Sheets mobile app: checkboxes tap, dropdowns pick, and everything else is typing a number.
F7 Do I have to install an add-on or approve a script?
Nothing to install and nothing to approve. Everything is ordinary spreadsheet formulas. A few templates include one tiny built-in script for a reset button; it runs without asking for any permission, and if it ever does nothing, the START HERE tab says how to do the reset by hand.
G8 What if a formula breaks or I find a mistake?
Email me and I'll fix it, then send you the corrected file. Every template is generated from source code, so a fix is a real fix rather than a patched-up cell.
H9 Can I get a refund?
Instant digital downloads generally can't be returned once delivered — but if something doesn't work, message me before asking for a refund and I will sort it out. I'd rather fix the template.
I10 Can I resell or share the file?
No — these are for personal use. Please don't redistribute the file or sell it on. Using it for your own household or your own small business is absolutely fine.
J11 Will you build the one I need?
Maybe. There are plenty already planned, and the order genuinely moves based on what people ask for. Tell me what you need.
K12 Why do the templates all look so different from each other?
On purpose. Each one is built to suit what it does rather than to match a house style. The only thing they share is how carefully they're checked.
