• A Simple Money-tracking App

  The ingredients:

  1. A Google Docs Form asking you how much you spent
  2. Some AppleScript to load the form
  3. A recurring iCal event with a reminder that triggers the AppleScript

  So you can build a trigger that loads the Google Docs form every 24 hours (for example) and asks you for how much you spent on X. This is automatically timestamped and saved in a spreadsheet by Google Docs, for your charting pleasure.

  Here’s the AppleScript required:

  tell application "Safari"
make new document at end of documents
  set URL of document 1 to “link-to-google-form”
  end tell
