Mint is being killed

Mint is dead in Jan 2024. Any other methods to sync an Apple Card to YNAB by chance?

It was sweet while it lasted at least.

Not currently. I have some aspirations to reverse engineer how Mint is getting Apple Card transactions, but I haven't sat down and given it an ernest go. I got as far as grabbing the link Mint sends to Apple to start the process (https://appleid.apple.com/auth/oauth2/v2/authorize?scope=apple-card-summary-and-transactions-readonly+openid&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fpartnerauth.platform.intuit.com%2Fexternal_partner%2Fapple-card%2Fcallback&client_id=com.mint.internal&state=[some UUID string]) but haven't perused it further. Apple documentation is notoriously lacking in many areas. this is about the most that I can find for how to integrate with them. Maybe I'm not using the right search terms, though. I've never set up oauth integrations before.

The article I read mentioned Credit Karma was the replacement. My only hope is Apple is going to partner with Credit Karma and maybe that could be a way to sync it to YNAB. Who knows though.

Regardless, thank you for your work. Your tool has saved me a lot of time over the past ~ 6 months. I may just be back to staying on top of entering transactions on my phone as they happen in the new year which isn’t the end of the world.

I'm glad you've found it useful! I knew I couldn't be the only one with this problem.

I'm in a similar boat and rethinking my budgeting practices. I'm considering using a different credit card for the majority of my transactions, and only using the Apple Card for repeated, scheduled transactions that can be set up once in YNAB and ignored after that.

As for moving to CK: we can hope that Apple would play nice with them, but even then we'd have to reverse engineer their API. The mintapi project for Mint was a huge boon to ynam, and nothing such exists for CK yet.

On the topic of rethinking budgeting, I've been made aware of an app called LunchMoney that I may switch to. It's maintained by an indie developer, and is potentially cheaper than YNAB.
