Scaryfolio integrates with Apple Spotlight so you can search for Ghostfolio accounts from the system search interface and open them directly in Scaryfolio.
For Siri, Apple Shortcuts, and App Shortcut actions, see the App Shortcuts help article.
Requirements
- Scaryfolio installed on a supported iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Scaryfolio connected to Ghostfolio.
- Account data loaded in Scaryfolio at least once.
Spotlight Account Search
After account data has loaded, your Ghostfolio accounts can appear in Apple Spotlight. You can search from Spotlight or system search and open an account directly in Scaryfolio.
What Spotlight Can Find
- Account names
- Account currencies
- Account value where available
- Cash balance where available and visible for the account
- Scaryfolio-related keywords such as Account, Account Value, and Cash Balance
How to Use Spotlight
- Open Scaryfolio and make sure your account data has loaded.
- Open Spotlight or system search.
- Search for Scaryfolio, an account name, a currency, or a relevant account keyword.
- Select the account result to open it in Scaryfolio.
Accounts marked as excluded from analysis and synthetic no-account entries do not appear in Spotlight.
If Show Cash Balance is disabled for an account, Spotlight can still index the account name and account value, but it omits cash balance descriptions, keywords, and amounts for that account.
Troubleshooting
Spotlight Does Not Find an Account
- Open Scaryfolio and refresh account data.
- Confirm the account is not excluded from analysis.
- Allow time for Spotlight results to update.
- Try searching by account name, currency, Account, Account Value, Cash Balance, or Scaryfolio.
An Old Account Still Appears
Open Scaryfolio and refresh account data. Removed or changed accounts can take time to disappear from Spotlight results.
Privacy Note
Spotlight results can display financial account information outside the main Scaryfolio interface. Be careful when using Spotlight on shared devices or where others can see your screen.
