It all started in a google sheet, created by our very own CTO and Cofounder Gavin. Inspired by not being able to find any tool out there, we decided to build Cheddar, and give it some design love.
Our creative brief to ourselves? It’s budgeting, but keep it fun. Through our competitive research, we found existing products that were great for people who love ... budgeting, but we’re pretty sure that’s a small selection of people.
After much exploration and illustration, the OG Cheddar man was born.
And of course we couldn’t stop there, we built out a family of cheese mascots to cheer you along on the way. *Insert cheese pun*
With lighthearted and fun illustrations for spending categories, the family of cheese characters and the bold, bright and playful color palette - Cheddar is a delight to use. Good vibes only.
Just connect your accounts and you’re good to go. Once transactions are imported, Cheddar will do it’s best to tag them accordingly, but you can help out and make it smarter.

We first built Cheddar as an iOS app, but to stay true to it’s initial existence as a google sheet, we built a fully web responsive version as well.
We had a lot of fun thinking up cheese-y puns to use for social posts. They came to life when paired with the vibrant color palette and crew of cheese characters.
“Only once I had worked with the team at Input did I realize how awful my own “designs” as an engineer were. The way they turn my half-baked ideas into a digital-Monet is honestly unnerving and probably witchcraft. I can’t imagine working with anyone else.”
