Data Not in SQLite

• Recurring names - human-readable names like "Rent", "Netflix"
• Budget amounts - monthly budget per category
• Investment data - holdings, prices, performance, splits
• Account/institution names - Chase, Fidelity, etc.
• Category names - Restaurants, Travel, Groceries, etc.

Extracting Data from LevelDB

List all recurring names:

for f in ~/Library/Containers/com.copilot.production/Data/Library/Application\ Support/firestore/__FIRAPP_DEFAULT/copilot-production-22904/main/*.ldb; do
  strings "$f" 2>/dev/null | grep -B10 "^state$" | grep -A1 "^name$" | grep -v "^name$" | grep -v "^--$"
done | sort -u | grep -v "^$"

List all collections:

for f in ~/Library/Containers/com.copilot.production/Data/Library/Application\ Support/firestore/__FIRAPP_DEFAULT/copilot-production-22904/main/*.ldb; do
  strings "$f" 2>/dev/null
done | grep -oE "documents/[a-z_]+/" | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

Find category names:

for f in ~/Library/Containers/com.copilot.production/Data/Library/Application\ Support/firestore/__FIRAPP_DEFAULT/copilot-production-22904/main/*.ldb; do
  strings "$f" 2>/dev/null
done | grep -iE "^(groceries|restaurants|shopping|entertainment|travel|transportation|utilities)$" | sort -u

Common Queries

Recent Transactions

SELECT date, name, amount, category_id
FROM Transactions
WHERE user_deleted = 0
ORDER BY date DESC
LIMIT 20;

Monthly Spending Summary

SELECT strftime('%Y-%m', date) as month, SUM(amount) as total
FROM Transactions
WHERE amount > 0 AND user_deleted = 0
GROUP BY month
ORDER BY month DESC;

Spending by Category

SELECT category_id, SUM(amount) as total, COUNT(*) as count
FROM Transactions
WHERE amount > 0 AND user_deleted = 0 AND date >= date('now', '-30 days')
GROUP BY category_id
ORDER BY total DESC;

Search Transactions

SELECT date, name, amount
FROM Transactions
WHERE name LIKE '%SEARCH_TERM%' AND user_deleted = 0
ORDER BY date DESC;

List Recurring Transactions

SELECT DISTINCT name, recurring_id
FROM Transactions
WHERE recurring = 1 AND user_deleted = 0
ORDER BY name;

Usage

Use sqlite3 to query the database:

sqlite3 ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.copilot.production/database/CopilotDB.sqlite "YOUR_QUERY"

For formatted output:

sqlite3 -header -column ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.copilot.production/database/CopilotDB.sqlite "YOUR_QUERY"

Notes

• Category IDs are opaque strings - group by them for analysis (names are in Firestore cache)
• Amounts are positive for expenses, negative for income
• Filter user_deleted = 0 to exclude deleted transactions
• Both databases are actively used by the app; read-only access is safe
• SQLite has recurring_id linking to Firestore recurring definitions
• Use strings on LevelDB files to extract human-readable data from Firestore cache
