A desktop spreadsheet built around a visual node engine. Build logic you can actually see, model straight off your own data — and it's yours. No cryptic #REF!, no monthly rent, and it never quietly mangles your numbers.
The logic lives in formulas — cryptic, fragile, invisible. Braidsheet makes it visual, keeps your data honest, and hands it all to you to own.
Pick data, drop operation nodes, wire them up — the output writes back to a column or a chart. Every number is traceable, chainable and reusable. vs Excel — nested IF / #REF! soup
No stripped leading zeros, no 1.2E+15, no turning "SEPT2" into a date. What you type is what you keep.
vs Excel — silent auto-conversionsThe full app is free and local-first. Your work is a .braid file on your machine. No account, no monthly bill to use your own tool.
vs Excel — £ every monthDrop in an .xlsx — tabs become sheets, formulas become nodes. Anything it can't model yet is kept intact. Export back any time.
vs Excel — lock-inData-quality checks flag the dodgy cells, and the graph shows exactly how each number was built. (94% of business spreadsheets contain errors — not this one.)
vs Excel — untested, unseenAuto-save, named milestones and one-click restore — so you always know which version is current, with a readable trail of what changed.
vs Excel — report_final_v3.xlsxAdd a template sheet and it reads live from your other sheets — real numbers, no rebuilding.
Drag a slider and every scenario re-projects. Connect a driver to another sheet's column (🔗) to pull real numbers in; goal-seek solves backwards to a target.
Cash, burn and months of runway — projected from your live figures.
Rows, columns, totals — plus live ƒ-columns and KPI cards from the node engine.
Pivot and summarise another sheet, run a budget-vs-actual P&L, and compile a designed PDF or export any chart as an image — right from the app.
Pick your platform, install, and open the demo project to explore a full worked model. Then tell me what you think — that's the whole point.
