Tiller Blog

For anyone who likes spreadsheets but wishes the boring data input bits were a little more automated, check out: https://www.tillerhq.com Imagine a Google sheet where 1 tab pulls in all your transactions from each of your banks / credit cards / investment accounts and the other tabs are... Whatever you can imagine. I am a huge fan, after I graduated from mint.com I've never looked back after finding Tiller. You can customize to your hearts content (it's Google Sheets, after all), plus they have handy template sheets to get started with. I personally have sheets to track my monthly spending (by category), my networth, my checking account balance vs sum of all credit card bills, my progress on credit card signup bonus minimum spend challenges are more.

Another option in this space is Tiller (https://www.tillerhq.com/). They seem well-established, and offer some spreadsheet templates for plug-and-play solutions to some common budgeting scenarios. If you don't care about spreadsheets specifically -- if you're just looking for scriptable access to your financials -- Lunch Money (https://lunchmoney.app) has a public API. They'll also be opening the beta of rollover budgeting any day now, which has me excited!

I think there could be something there, just needs to be tweaked. I recently came across this tool: https://www.tillerhq.com and instantly signed up. Think it's $10 a month or less. I think they do pretty good as well. All it is is syncs your bank data to a Google Sheet and has pre built templates. It doesn't have a great way of doing graphs tho, i'd love something like your tool but for analysing my transactions (not saying you should focus on that demo)

After have using GnuCash, Mint, and about 100 other finance tracking apps, I'm convinced that Tiller Money is the best. Highly recommend checking it out. https://www.tillerhq.com Easy to set up and requires the least amount of ongoing work to accurately categorize transactions.

> I can recommend Tiller Money: https://tillerhq.com Looks interesting. Appears to be sign in with Google only, which is a shame.

I was just going to say "I'm just getting off my ass and tightening up my financial habits". For those of you like me, who like spreadsheets but don't know exactly where to start, I can recommend Tiller Money: https://tillerhq.com. Sometimes the best place to start is just "knowing where you stand". But there's lots of great tools for personal finance. Pick one and hop to it. But there's no secret magic there, and I'm not even sure I'm doing anything different now that I shouldn't have already been doing 2 years ago. I may not have spent so much money... but that's a me problem not the "result of a recession" problem.

An easy way to take this to the next level (and be truly no-code) is: https://www.tillerhq.com/ I love being able to continue using Google Sheets shortcuts + automation features. It allows me to generate well-formed reports that I can analyze with pivot tables or any of my normal processes that I use for analyzing datasets.

Check out Tiller! https://www.tillerhq.com/ I tried going down the route of dealing with OFX in GNUCash, and it's just a huge never-ending hassle. Tiller dumps the raw data from Yodlee (the backend that does the gnarly interfacing and cleaning for most PFM sites, besides Mint) into Google Sheets. From there you can use Apps Script or the Sheets API to push the data wherever you want. Sure, it's $5/mo, but well worth it for not ever dealing with bank websites or APIs or OFX formats again.

I found a good balance with Tiller (https://www.tillerhq.com/). It gets everything in one spreadsheet where I can query and get quick summaries with ease.

I'm a big fan of Tiller [1], which is a paid service that basically just connects Yodlee to Google Docs or Excel. It will dump all your transactions and balance info into a spreadsheet and you can do what you want with it. It also has lots of templates for things like budgeting etc. I run a daily cron job that loads the transaction data and produces a nice Jupyter-based report. It will require some custom building, but the API plumbing is done for you. [1]: https://www.tillerhq.com/

If you like that model, Tiller (https://www.tillerhq.com/) syncs your accounts to an Excel or Google Sheet that you own.

I've mentioned it elsewhere on HN; I am not affiliated but a fan of TillerHQ. TillerHQ Syncs your account transactions to a Google Sheet or Excel Spreadsheet. $79 a year. https://www.tillerhq.com

There are a number of libraries on Github that appear to interact with "Find My" somehow -- reasonably sure you don't have to pay for that. You might also consider something like https://www.tillerhq.com (or even just integrate with Plaid directly).

Interesting, feels like they picked up on startups like Tiller ( https://www.tillerhq.com/ )

You might be interested in Tiller Money https://www.tillerhq.com/. They provide something very much along these lines, with the output being an auto-updating Google Sheet that you can do whatever you like with. You do still need to update credentials sometimes, but I've been using it for a few years and it works quite well.

I use Google Sheets for personal finance with TillerHQ to automate downloading bank data. It is, as far as I know, the only workable solution in this space. http://www.tillerhq.com

You can do this with Tiller (https://www.tillerhq.com/), it pulls it down for you. Also when trying to remember the tiller app, I found that Excel now has this as part of office 365 https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/16/21292642/microsoft-money-in-excel-t…

To see an interesting use -- check out https://www.tillerhq.com/. An entire business built on top of google sheets. Unfortunately, i didn't care for it (I didn't like the way they handled splits or the import from amazon)

When I was using Google sheets I was really looking at this company Tiller to auto-fetch my transactions. I never actually tried them out, but the service looks pretty compelling: https://www.tillerhq.com/

Tiller is trying to build exactly that: https://www.tillerhq.com/ I haven't used, because I use personal capital and they both used Yodlee, and my biggest gripe about personal capital is yodlee isn't keeping up with 2fa style logins from banks

It you’re just using it to get data into Google Sheets then you should checkout https://Tillerhq.com

Tiller (https://www.tillerhq.com/) does exactly this. You can dump the data into Google Sheets or into Excel.

https://www.tillerhq.com/ It's basically an addon for google sheets and excel online that imports transactions into some premade templates. It's paid, but directly gives you the power of sheets.

I've been using Tiller for a few months: https://www.tillerhq.com/ Totally happy to pay for someone to maintain connections between bank APIs and a Google Spreadshert. Curious how long they'll last.

I started using Tiller for this recently. It’s essentially a shim later between Yodlee and Google Sheets. It doesn’t address your privacy concerns, of course, but I don’t think there’s any good solution outside of paying your banks for OFX access. I don’t use any of their sheet templates. I just download the raw transactions with the Sheets API and munge then into my ledger-cli based analysis system. https://www.tillerhq.com

For the curious: https://www.tillerhq.com/ is the right url

I was using Tiller (https://www.tillerhq.com), pulling from US and European banks to a Google sheet, then a command line tool to pull CSV from there. This worked well except for not handling foreign currency (it calls everything $), adding a bit of extra latency/uncertainty on top of the back end (Yodlee), and eventually forgetting to update your sheet unless you manually visit it every so often. Currently I’m using plaid2qif (https://github.com/ebridges/plaid2qif) to pull CSV from US banks via Plaid’s (https://plaid.com) API. This is more developer friendly and gets the latest data to me faster, but the data is not quite as good as Tiller/Yodlee’s, at least for Wells Fargo bank; Plaid gives more truncated transaction descriptions. Both of these have the big downside of sharing your bank credentials with others. With Plaid I guess there’s one less party involved. My current alternative is manually visit each bank’s site and download CSV. Ideally I want to get timely data every day (the easiest way to stay on top of the books), so the manual downloading (click, wait, click, relogin after timeout..., wait, wait for paypal’s download, retry when it gets stuck..) gets really tiresome.

Shameless plug - I wrote a SaaS that's pretty much just a SMS <-> google spreadsheet mapper. https://byobudget.com That said, yours looks a lot more full-fledged than mine. Mine can only record transactions and then send a response (which it reads calculated from the spreadsheet based on the last transaction, which I'm very proud of for the level of customization it provides), but I've been noodling over how to add custom commands. FTR, I shameless stole my idea from an earlier HN comment sometime last year; if you're considering implementing a SMS/spreadsheet system yourself, I'd check it out https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17313321 Edit: I really am happy with my solution because it basically lets you take any google sheets based transaction you have and add SMS as an input method. Edit 2: Sorry if you encounter any rough edges if you go to use BYOB - I haven't marketed it widely, but my wife and I do use it. Any feedback is very much welcome. Edit 3: If you don't want the manual import of transactions (but do want the freedom of a spreadsheet) then I'd suggest TillerHQ instead https://tillerhq.com I haven't used em, but I came across them when doing research before launching BYOB.
