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…

What it does

You check your portfolio balance. Maybe scan some of your holdings. But nobody tells you the portfolio you thought was "diversified" is secretly 68% tech, you have $3,500 in unharvested tax losses, or that 35% of your portfolio has earnings reports next week. Helm Terminal connects to your accounts through Plaid and finds what you're missing. Concentration risk, tax-loss harvesting, earnings exposure, sector drift, idle cash. Every day. Automatically. For free.

An agent that reads every filing, earnings call and release touching a position you hold, then hands you what changed with the document it came from. Exposure, taxes, earnings and thesis monitoring across all your accounts. Free AI stock analysis, no account needed.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION Revenue for the quarter increased across each of the reportable segments, with the largest contribution attributable to the data center platform. The Company continues to experience elevated demand for accelerated computing across hyperscale and enterprise customers, and expects supply constraints to persist through the remainder of the fiscal year. Cost of revenue increased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue. The increase reflects a shift in product mix toward newly introduced platforms, which carry higher initial manufacturing costs, together with incremental provisions for inventory and supply…from helmterminal.dev

    I'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).

    Wall 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!

  • I built an open-source financial research terminal (SEC data and SQL)Jun 2026 · terminal.tesseractanalytics.ai · ▲5

    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…

    Over 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…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
