FAQs
WTF is 'Mintable'?!
min·ta·ble: noun.
- An open-source tool to automate your personal finances – for free, with no ads, and no data collection. Derived from mint (the wildly popular personal finance app from Intuit) + table (a spreadsheet).
Do I have to use Plaid?
- Nope. You can import transactions from a CSV bank statement exclusively on your local machine. We also have templates to get you started.
Do I have to use Google Sheets?
- Nope. You can export your account balances & transactions to a CSV file exclusively on your local machine.
Do I have to manually run this every time I want new transactions in my spreadsheet?
- Nope. You can automate it for free using BitBar,
cron, or GitHub Actions.
How do I use it with banks outside the US?
- Fork & edit the country codes here. Default support is for US banks.
How do I use it with Windows?
- Windows is not natively supported but you can try this.
It's not working!
