Earlier quoted context omitted.

So data has to be imported since the start then I'm assuming, like a complete ledger? Otherwise how would we know the complete list and the value of the investments over time. Won't that get out of sync with the ground truth (what's in the account) over time?

You can also start from one snapshot of your current holdings and just add transactions as you go to build the timeline.

> Wealthfolio does not currently support integration with online brokers or aggregators. Data must be imported from CSV files or by manually entering transactions. This is unfortunately going to be the deal breaker for wide adoption. Self hosting is great, but manually importing data from dozens of accounts every day and entering every single transaction as you make it is simply too much of a burden.

Agreed, they should at least support Plaid to get your account information and pull it in locally.

If there was a sufficiently good import, something deeply customized for at least the top N banks, I think I’d be ok with that workflow. But even Quicken was disappointing on that front.

One possible option might be to set up email ingestion. My brokerage will send a daily update, for example. It's not super detailed, but it's a start.

Would you actually pay for that as add-on? Plaid isn’t free.

The app support mapping profiles. I hope we will have a profile for each major broker.

I'm also experimenting with local llm models to parse files and statement and call the app tools to feed data.
