Free Excel budget tracker with VBA

About

First-time indie maker from New Zealand. Just launched Budget Maven after getting tired of expensive budgeting apps ($180/year!). Building in public and learning as I go. Budget Maven is a free Excel budget tracker with VBA automation - pay what you want, including $0. Excited to share my first product with the Product Hunt community!

Budget Maven - Free Excel budget tracker with one-click automation

Free Excel budget tracker built by someone who got tired of subscription apps. Features one-click month rollover, Budget/Tracking mode toggle, cash flow runbook, and automatic calculations. The UI is functional, not beautiful - I prioritized automation over aesthetics. But it works! Pay what you want (including $0). No subscriptions, no cloud, your data stays local. This is my first product launch. Looking for honest feedback on what to improve. Built for people who value function over form.
