# What is Models?

**Models** is an app designed for working with timeseries-based calculations.

It's an incredibly powerful tool, and can be used in countless situations, but typically we use it for tasks such as:

* Creating financial forecasts and budgets
* Building business plans
* Modelling market trends

Models works as a standalone application, in which you can create your models, and view and flex outputs through compelling dashboards, but it will also generate fully-working, formatted Excel spreadsheets that you can share with colleagues and clients.
