A polished app is great, until you outgrow what it can do.

✗ Copilot is built for one user on iOS. If you want to share your financial view with a partner, accountant, or business partner, you're stuck.
✗ Copilot is personal-finance-only. If you run a small business or freelance on the side, you need a separate tool to track business expenses, P&L, and quarterly taxes.
✗ Your transaction history lives in Copilot's servers. If you cancel, you lose ongoing access to the structured view you built.

The same financial picture, in a Google Sheet you own.

Finsemble syncs all your bank accounts into a structured Google Sheet, Dashboard, Transactions, Recurring Payments, Budget, Categories, Holdings, all in your Google Drive. The same complete financial view Copilot provides, but in a format that's permanently yours and works for personal, freelance, and small-business finances in one place.
