Title: Personal Finance Apps, anyone use them?
Post by: thisismyusername on January 06, 2018, 06:40:23 PM
Kinda on the market to have a better logging than a pocket calendar of my expenses and accounts. Anyone around here use any PC or Android software? If so, what do you recommend?

I use Mint. It's fine. I like that it's owned by Intuit for data protection reasons (though that's no real guarantee) and "assured" long-term support.

Huh. Looks good. Google suggested "Clarity Money" on the Google Play store for the end of 2017 thing, but I haven't dived too deeply into it.

There is "Fortune City" which kinda makes a game (it's pretty much a game app) of entering your expenses and all that. I've tried it and while it's cute, it doesn't let me enter my income due to no ability to set the "every" on a number basis. So that's why I was asking.

I would recommend YNAB. That’s the budgeting software I use.

It’s basically a digital version of the envelope system, but it works well.


I’m not sure how good it has been about making me more responsible, but st least I know how fucked I am.

I use Mint because it's automated and tells me how much money I'm spending. Gives me a good idea if I'm spending too much in any given month.

I use Mint. I tried YNAB, but it was too much.

Mint seems to be skewing hard here. I've run across "MyExpenses (http://www.myexpenses.mobi/en/)," which seems to do what I do currently. So I may go with that.
