Changelog

• May 19, 2026
  description

  Stop exporting CSVs. SheetLink connects your real bank accounts directly to Google Sheets, Excel, CSV, Postgres, and SQLite — one click, privacy-first, built for spreadsheet-first workflows.
  
  Cheaper than Tiller. More private than YNAB. No proprietary app — just your Google Sheet.
  
  Manual Sync — You control exactly when data moves. No background bank access, ever.
  
  New: Max Tier — CLI & API Access
  
  For developers and power users: automate syncs via the sheetlink CLI. Pipe transactions to Postgres, SQLite, CSV, or JSON on any schedule. API key authentication for unattended workflows.
  
  New: Recipe Marketplace
  
  Choose from pre-built financial templates (Personal Budgeting, Business P&L, Cash Flow Analysis) that automatically set up your spreadsheet with the right structure and formulas. Build your P&L in 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes.
  
  
  ➤ What is SheetLink?
  
  SheetLink uses Plaid to securely connect to 10,000+ financial institutions and automatically sync transactions into your own Google Sheets.
  
  Ideal for spreadsheet-first workflows including personal finance, budgeting, financial analysis, and lightweight accounting.
  
  
  ➤ Key Features
  
  • Real Bank Connections — Connect checking, savings, and credit card accounts
  • One-Click Sync — Pull transactions directly into Google Sheets
  • Multi-Institution Support — Connect multiple banks and cards
  • Spreadsheet-First — Your Google Sheet is the system of record
  • AI-Enhanced Categorization (via Plaid) — Rich, source-level categories passed directly into your sheet
  • Recipe Marketplace — Install pre-built analysis scripts directly into your sheet (budget trackers, spending reports, category summaries, and more)

  • CLI & API Access (Max) — Automate syncs via the sheetlink CLI. Pipe transactions to Postgres, SQLite, CSV, or JSON on any schedule
  • Privacy-First Architecture — We never store transaction data

  ➤ Privacy & Security

  What we do
  ✅ Encrypt Plaid access tokens (Fernet / AES-128 + HMAC)
  ✅ Authenticate via Google OAuth (JWT sessions)
  ✅ Support Google Workspace accounts (subject to admin permissions)
  ✅ Keep data flowing directly into your sheet
  
  What we never do
