The Story Behind celnalosicon

We started celnalosicon because budgeting shouldn't feel like solving a puzzle with missing pieces. Real financial planning needs real tools that actually work for busy Australian families.

How We Got Started

Back in 2019, I was sitting at my kitchen table in Five Dock, surrounded by spreadsheets and coffee cups, trying to figure out why every budgeting app felt like it was built by people who never actually managed a household budget.

My partner and I were constantly asking ourselves: "Where did our money go this month?" Sound familiar? We tried everything from complex software to simple notebook systems. Nothing stuck because nothing was designed for real life.

That's when we realized something important. People don't fail at budgeting because they're bad with money. They fail because most financial tools ignore how actual households operate day to day.

Our Calendar-Based Approach

Traditional budgeting treats money like it's abstract numbers on a page. But your expenses happen on specific days, in specific weeks, tied to your actual schedule.

We map your financial life to your calendar because that's how you actually live. When you can see your rent payment, grocery runs, and social activities on the same timeline, budgeting becomes planning instead of guessing.

This isn't revolutionary finance theory. It's common sense applied to money management in a way that actually works for busy people.
