tickle exports a compact UTF-8 CSV ledger file. The goal is that a user can open it directly, send it to a friend, restore it later, or give it to an LLM without being buried in technical tables.
Exports are written to:
Download/tickle
The file name includes a timestamp:
transactions_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.csv
One row per ledger entry.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
date |
Local transaction datetime, yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss. |
direction |
in for income, out for expense. |
amount |
Absolute transaction amount. |
unit |
Currency unit, currently CNY. |
type |
User-facing category name. |
note |
User note, with merchant appended when useful. |
The restore flow reads the latest transactions_*.csv in Download/tickle.
It supports this compact format and remains compatible with older detailed
exports when those files are present.
