Hi there<p>I'm just looking for some personal (rather than business) expense tracking software, preferably online. Thought I'd ask if anyone here here has created anything like that or if anyone has anything that they would recommend.
I use a spreadsheet. Why not start with Google Docs for same (online requirement) to get started?<p>I found that getting a read on financial affairs for a couple of months was good enough for me to create personal budget expectations, arrange my income accordingly, project future income/savings, etc.<p>I just check back in occasionally, and do the project again. I have too much on my plate already to add another daily/weekly ongoing requirement. ymmv...
I know the space well and would be happy to help. I made <a href="https://www.pearbudget.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.pearbudget.com</a>. Depending on what you're looking for, it might be just right for you. Or, of course, it might not.<p>If you let me know what you're looking for, I can help you find something. Either here or on Twitter (@charliepark).
I'm using www.pearbudget.com, I just upgraded to their paid account recently. It is simple enough not to be a hassle, and its tags system allows me and my boyfriend to track our expenses together, knowing how much either of us spent separately. I can recommend it.
GnuCash is great; I use it for both personal and business.<p>If you have it use PostgreSQL for the data store you can run it at home (keeping the database there or on a server somewhere if you like) and then connect to it from another machine wherever. I haven't tried that yet as it's a new feature in 2.4.0 which I just upgraded to.
I'm working on an expenses/purchases app at the moment. I have small businesses in mind but I am also considering a personal aspect. What is it that you want to get out of such an application?
We've got our budget set up using Mint.com and evaluate it using their tools. Since they're the 800 pound gorilla in that space, how're you thinking about differentiating from them?
