Support Mint alternatives: ie YNAB, Personal Capital

[chipete]

hi! Wondering if you'd consider creating a version of this that would work with YNAB's API? https://api.youneedabudget.com/#works-with-ynab

@chipete Thanks for the feature request. I personal considered moving 100% over to personal capital a year ago or so and understand your desire to have this work elsewhere. I'll keep this open as a general FR.

Everyone else, please drop by and leave a thumbs up or a note if you'd like to see other services supported.

Thanks for the reply! I was looking to make something like this for YNAB, amazon purchases seems like a universal budgeting issue for sure.

i've moved over to https://www.tillerhq.com/

just an excellent service, and now i can do whatever i want within sheets. if there's some way to support Tiller, i'd be ecstatic.

right now my workaround is that i still use mint + amazon tagger. once tagged, i export from mint, import into tiller and all of that works. just a manual process to do is all.

@jakimtc Thanks for mentioning Tiller! I hadn't tried it (until you mentioned it here). Just curious, how do you get the transactions to play nicely between mint and tiller (And this tagging tool)? Is there a mint import workflow for tiller? And does that play nicely with their syncing functionality with accounts?

hey @jprouty! you know, tbh, i've ditched mint now. i mainly use the mint-amazon-tagger to get all my Amazon reports and then i feed those manually (once a month or so) to the Tiller "Import CSV Line Items" tool under "Tiller Money Labs".

To begin, I imported all of my categories and categorized txns from Mint into Tiller and then said good bye after month of piloting Tiller (and keeping Mint up to date).

Is there a mint import workflow for tiller?

Yes, they have an import tutorial here.

While I've abandoned Mint, I have not closed my account. All my existing integrations and synced accounts are still active there. There are no conflicts as all the syncing are read-only.

I'll stop now because it sounds like I work for Tiller. I don't! I just love finding good tools and after having used Mint faithfully for the last 13 years, I am obviously so stoked to find a new tool that works better [imho].

PS, @jakimtc was me on accident. forgot to log out of my work github account.

Like @jakimtc, I've decide to give up on Mint and give Tiller a try. But I think I will keep syncing my accounts with Mint, purely so I can use the mint-amazon-tagger to itemize and tag and then import from Mint to Tiller.

But that does seem circuitous so I thought I'd check in here to see if anyone had any suggestions on how one might use this incredible tools without going through Mint?

I'd love for this to work for Quickbooks Online too...

I'm a huge fan of Monarch Money, and they have the same problem with Amazon purchases. I've reached out to them to see where they are on implementing this themselves as they have talked about it for a while, but that could be years from now, and I'd love to use this project in the meantime. +1 to Mint alternatives!

Saw it mentioned in issue #159 and wanted to post it here. Looks like Intuit is shutting down Mint and migrating users over to Credit Karma. Not sure if Credit Karma is going to have the same budgeting functionality of Mint.

@P-Burk news to me! Makes sense - Mint was a killer app in 2007... and hasn't matured much sense (in sense of features/UI improvements/etc). It was only a matter of time.

@villasenor Thanks for the pointer. I saw more references to Monarch today while researching the Mint sunset. Curious to see the founder is an ex-Mint PM 😄

I would suggest firefly-iii as a good integration
