The real power of Tiller is that the sky’s the limit. It’s not a one-size-fits-all app. It’s a spreadsheet, which means it’s extensible. Your money, your way.
Templates are a big part of the how. If you’ve opened the Templates section in Tiller Money Feeds, visited the Tiller Community, or installed Tiller Community Solutions, you know there are lots of templates out there to add on top of your Foundation Template. Category Tracker, Debt Payoff Planner, Net Worth, Savings Goals, and dozens more, ready to drop into your sheet and make it more you.
Some are built by our team, plenty more by the community of spreadsheet tinkerers who’ve been extending Tiller for years. Either way, they’re proof that Tiller grows with you instead of boxing you in.
Templates on the Console
Now it’s even easier to find them. If you’ve got a Direct Fills Google Sheet, Templates live right in the Tiller Console alongside your Linked Accounts and Transactions. Browse what’s available, apply updates if needed, see what’s Tiller-supported vs. community-supported, and add to your sheet in one click.
If you’re using Microsoft Excel, a Sidebar Fills Google Sheet, or a Direct Fills sheet with Advanced Security enabled, templates are still available from the Tiller Money Feeds sidebar, same as always.

P.S. Is there a favorite template you want to see for Google Sheets in this new gallery? Drop us a line below.
@BillPayer No, you do not need to delete and re-load templates after new data fills/flows into your spreadsheet.
@tandoor it means the Templates feature is not supported if you have Advanced Security turned on because the install mechanism we have so far requires the All Spreadsheets permission.
What’s the status of community templates? I built one that got published years ago. More recently I submitted one to the forums and was told the program is on hold. I have 2 that are polished and ready but haven’t put much effort into sharing because there was apparently no official path forward.
Cool development - love the additions to the Console.
Several of the templates I currently have as part of my Tiller sheet show as “Restore.” Can you explain this status - I don’t want to overwrite, but if they are more current versions I would want to have the latest and greatest.
Are you active on the community? Many people post their workflow there. What do your sheets do? Can you broadly describe it, I always think that new templates can be useful to many people!
@taylorvance great question. I’ll check in with the team about this. I’m not sure why someone said the program is on hold.
@gallagher.patty5 “Restore” is only needed if you broke something in your sheet or you want to start fresh with it. No need to use that if everything is working.
@Rebecca.S glad you’re loving the new feature! Definitely nice having more screen real estate. @betty.tuller no webinar, but I did create this quick video to go along with our new Tips Series videos.
