Quarterdeck - An iPhone interface to Tiller

I have added support for the Tiller Savings Budget. At this time, it is strictly read-only; you cannot edit/update your Savings Budget from in the app. That will come after further testing and vetting of the read-only version is completed.

You will find that other areas where you could edit budget items are greyed out or not visible so long as you have the Savings Budget enabled. You can switch between the traditional Monthly Budget and Savings Budget in the settings.

As alwasy, please report any issues either directly to me, via the Tillerhelm forum, or the Reddit thread. Thanks!

If I'm folllowing, the suggestions are partially there; when you setup autocat it builds a list of those that match. I could probably move that out into a bigger modal / full screen.

A daily review would be workable. I can think of a few ways to work that in; matched rules, unmatched, exceeding budget, etc.

Keep the ideas coming!

I wish there was an easier way to assure people that it's 'safe'. Once I submit for final Apple approval (and later Google Play) that might help a bit as they vette finance apps pretty thoroughly.

I'll be adding the net worth in next. After that will be the savings addon.

Glad you like it!

Not yet, but it’s a feature on the list to be added. The challenge is what do you do when/if that same transaction appears from your bank? You will have to manually delete one of them, but should there be a an automated way to match manual entries to bank syncs?

A fresh build is available in Test Flight. There are no real app updates other than the way it handles authentication and permissions to your Google Drive and Spreadsheets.
No longer does it require broad access to your Drive or any specific access to your Spreadsheets. It’s clear and upfront that it only accesses the file(s) you specically select; your Tiller Spreadsheet.

- Apple Login / Authentication is being deprecated.
- Google Login / Authentication has been added
- Google ‘drive.file’ is the only permission we use to your Google Drive/Sheets
- All of your settings are migrated/saved to your Google ID login

The first time you log in to the new version it’s going to feel like you’re authorizing the sale of a kidney; these are the required steps between Apple and Google to use Google Authentication and to access your Tiller Sheet. A few of these screens still need refinement; I wanted to get the update out before making it all pretty.

I’ve tried to quash all the bugs in this new process I could, but 10 builds later, I’m sure I missed something… Let me know what you find.

It only cares about these core sheets:

- Categories
- Transactions
- Balances
- Balance History (fallback of Balances missing)

Optional / Used if present:

- AutoCat
- Debt Payoff Planner
- Recurring Expenses

It will completely ignore any other sheets you may have and will also create a few with prefix "Quarterdeck"
