24 alternatives to Helm Terminal
Hi HN, I'm the solo founder of Helm Terminal (helmterminal.dev). It's a free portfolio analytics tool that connects to your accounts via Plaid and surfaces actionable insights and intelligence. Concentration risk, tax-loss harvesting, earnings exposure, idle cash, sector drift, etc. Automatically, every day. Every other portfolio tracker/brokerage I've tried showed me balances and pie charts but never informed me what to do or what was going on. I'd check my accounts, see things were generally "fine", and move on. Then I realized I'd been sitting on thousands of dollars in unharvested…

Ray▲298I've been using this daily for 4 months and figured others might find it useful. This is my first open source project so would love any feedback. Ray connects to your bank via Plaid, stores everything in an encrypted local SQLite database, and lets you ask questions about your finances in natural language. No cloud, no account, your data is stored on your machine. Before anything reaches the LLM, all PII is stripped — your name, companies, transaction details are redacted and replaced with tokens, then rehydrated locally in the response. The AI never sees who you are.

Thank you for your comments, just some context: - The app is a simple desktop application that works on macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu. - I developed this app for my own needs. Getting tired of SaaS app subscriptions and privacy concerns. - For now, the activities are logged manually or imported from a CSV file. No integration with Plaid or other platforms. - No monetization is planned for now (only a "buy me a coffee" if you use and appreciate the app).

Market Terminal▲219Wall Street pays up to $30k/year for terminals. They have access to better data & faster intel than most investors. That's one of the reasons why they win big. The playing field is finally changing... We built a Wall Street terminal for retail investors. Finally, retail investors can see breakouts in real-time breakouts, run AI predictions on any stock, see what stocks institutions are buying... PLUS A Lot More! All in one place, at a fraction of the cost. We spent years building it... hope you love it!

hey y'all -- can you please tell us if our job search tool sucks? :D we built it using an investor platform called Harmonic.ai to gather startup data, then contextualize it so that job seekers could find out about the most exciting startups hiring first (like if they just raised, growing headcount fast, have an ex-unicorn founder, etc). pretty sure we're the first platform doing anything like this. anyway, let me know what you think. really excited to launch this thing soon! getting feedback from the hn community first is really fun :)

I posted this a few weeks ago and the server died under the traffic. Fixed that by adding an in-mem caching layer with Redis/valkey and added CloudFront caching for static content. Also upgraded the server. Also fixed the Firefox bugs, trying again. It's a research tool for US stocks. Financials for ~10k companies pulled from SEC filings. You can chart any metric across companies, filter news by ticker, ask questions in plain English and get a chart back. There's also SQL console against the whole database, which is the part I like to use together with the AI chat (generates an SQL…

Finzen▲3Over the years, I've tried pretty much every personal finance tool out there. Loved some, hated others, but in the end, I always came back to using my trusty google sheet. I needed something that combined YNAB's envelope budgeting with what a multi-asset portfolio tracker does. For me, your budget and your investments are linked. Obviously, never invest more than you can afford to lose - but how are you supposed to know how much that is for you without understanding your spending habits? So I built Finzen Finzen = budgeting + portfolio tracking + rich visual reports and stats Currently in…

Find My Moat▲12I kept losing track of all the random tools i use for investing research; from screeners to niche data sites. so i started collecting them in one place: findmymoat.com. it’s just a simple directory right now, but the idea is to make it easier to discover and compare tools (fundamental, quant, options, whatever). curious if others find this useful, and if you have favorite tools i should add.

Capitally▲24Hey HN, As someone who geeks out on both investment data and privacy tech, I built Capitally to scratch my own itch. It's encrypted on-device so that once I can afford to hire a second engineer, he cannot peek into my own data! I wanted a way to monitor ALL my investments (stocks, crypto, real estate, angel investments, etc.) in one place and really dig into the data - but without compromising my privacy. Here's how Capitally makes that possible: On the data side: Import data from CSVs, spreadsheets, or any other source via a flexible no-code editor Map any data format into a standardized…

Hi HN, Today I'm launching the Net Worth Tracker by Flow Finance, a beautiful and minimalist Excel template that allows individuals to track their assets, liabilities, income, and spending on a monthly basis. The focus of this template is understanding long-term trends in the incoming and outgoing expenses for an individual—always with a focus on maximising insights while minimising user inputs. This project was created because the alternatives, frankly, are completely overwhelming. A friend of mine introduced me to the FIRE Movement and, after doing deep dives through Reddit, I tried to…

Hi HN, We’re a small team working on 13Radar.com, which we launched about two weeks ago after 4 months of development. I’m the founder, and together with the team we’re building a platform that tracks hedge fund portfolios in real-time based on SEC Form 13F filings. AI has been a major helper in our workflow. For a single webpage, we often consult multiple AI systems in parallel, generating different versions and comparing them side by side before deciding on the final design or implementation. More than 60% of the research, design, and coding involved AI assistance. For UI design we used…

So, I have been investing for some time now. At first, it was easier to track my portfolio because I was just using one broker, but as time went on, my portfolio became bigger and more diversified (for example, I bought physical gold, deposited money into a savings account at Bank A, and also used Broker A and Broker B because only Broker B had the stocks I wanted to buy). It just got harder to track my investments, it was also getting harder to understand whether my investments were aligned with the portfolio I had built. So naturally, I started to search for solutions. At first, I found a…

I'm 65, I got into crypto trading, kept getting liquidated. Built this tool to track liquidation clusters across Binance/Bybit/OKX/Hyperliquid. Shows real-time heatmaps, funding rates, open interest. Built entirely with Claude AI despite being dyslexic and having zero coding background. Would love feedback from the HN community.
