Started as a personal
project. Built for everyone.
I knew what the numbers meant — I just got tired of digging through hundreds of pages to find them. So I built the tool I wanted.
About Plainsheet
A 10-K is hundreds of pages. The numbers I actually wanted were buried across all of them.
I understand financial metrics — gross margin, free cash flow, debt-to-equity, all of it. That was never the hard part. The hard part was the grind: opening a filing, scrolling through page after page of footnotes and legal language, hunting down the figures, and piecing them together by hand just to get a read on a company. I built Plainsheet so I didn't have to do that anymore. It pulls the filing, finds the numbers, does the math, and lays it out in seconds — so the time goes into thinking about the company, not excavating it.
The data is public. Getting to it is the chore.
Every figure is sitting right there in the filings on SEC EDGAR — for free. But finding it means wading through a dense document that was written for lawyers and regulators, not for someone who just wants to understand a business. Plainsheet does the wading for you and hands back the part that matters, with plain-English context next to every number.
For people who get the numbers — and people who want to learn them.
If you already know your way around a balance sheet, Plainsheet saves you the legwork. If you're still learning, every metric comes with a plain-English explanation and a built-in dictionary, so you pick it up as you go. Same tool, both ends of the spectrum. No VC, no ads — just something genuinely useful, free where it can be.
