happypamama Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Anyone have a favorite budget app? I would really like something that would let me download debit transactions from my bank and sort them by category in an app, so that I could track how we're spending money each month. I currently use an older version of Quicken on my desktop and like it, but portability would be nice. I want to be able to tell a program "this is how much I want to spend on groceries each month, put this $37.25 transaction under groceries, how am I doing so far for the month?" Quicken lets me do this nicely. I tried the Quicken app, but it requires having a newer version of Quicken on the desktop. Free is nice but not essential.

linguistmama Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 http://www.mint.com It is free and has an online version and apps. It downloads bank info, lets you categorize and set up a budget. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacus2 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 YNAB, while not free, I think would meet your needs. It is desktop software ($60) and an app ($5) that synchronize so that you are always up to date. Downloading transactions has to be done in the desktop software. It is designed for budgeting, allowing you to track your accounts including checking, credit cards, etc while always being able to keep up with your budget category balances.
