Checkr Money CLI

What is Checkr Money CLI?

Checkr Money CLI is a command-line tool for accessing your Checkr Money financial data from the terminal. Check balances, pull transactions, review income, and analyze spending without leaving the shell. It authenticates via browser-based OAuth - no API keys or tokens to manage. The project is open source at github.com/truvhq/mytruv-cli.

The CLI is read-only. It cannot modify your accounts, create transactions, or change any settings.
