Personal Financial program

[Azxel]

i'm looking for one now.
any recommendations?
all comments welcome!

looking at freeware and shareware.
if there's a good one thats free, why not? :)

Freeware - Mycheckbook. Commercial - Pocket Quicken (what I use for Quicken interface), Ultrasoft Money (MS Money interface)

I use SplashMoney, which came as part of the SplashWallet suite. You can upload and download transactions to Quicken quite easily (although, it isn't as automatic as Pokcet Quicken, you have to import and export QIFs).

It handles multiple accounts with ease, and can even sync your auto-fill-ins and categories from Quicken.

The great thing is, the whole suite includes:
SplashMoney
SplashID
SplashShopper
SplashPhoto (I don't use this)

and, everything but SplashMoney includes a desktop program. I use SplashID all the time, for saving serial numbers, web logins, bank accounts, etc. It is all encrypted on the desktop.

SplashShopper is great for lists, and the desktop is great for entering a lengthy shoopping list. I also use it track inventory on my various collections, and I keep a list of gift ideas/gifts bought in a Gift list.

I haven't used SplashPhoto because I don't have a decent digital camera, but that might change someday. I definitely feel like I got my $35 worth, because I use three of the apps regularly, and SplashData offers free updates all the time. Check around for a 10% off Handango or PalmGear coupon. I think there are some active ones right now.

As a stand-alone Palm financial app, I loved PocketMoney. I stopped using it when I started syncing to Quicken on my Mac, because the conduit gave me duplicates all the time.

I'm very happy with BankBook4. I've been using it for over a year now.

I use Bankbook also. They have an app called budget book that provide info on spending, but I think you can get the same info by exporting the data into excel.

Also, don't be fooled by the name, 'cause you can certainly us it to track other accounts in addition to bank accounts.

Check out Ma Tirelire. It's free and has some awsome features. I'm always supprised it's not mentioned more often. One of its best features is the ability to have transactions assigned to a shortcut letter. As an example, I can grafitti a 'g' and up pops a list of all my regular grocery stores. Tapping on one of the stores can pre-fill my transaction with anything I want, such as the name and category and payment type, even an amount if I wish. There is even a conduit if you wish, which I haven't installed.

On a related note, do any of the financial apps actually integrate with Quicken as well as Pocket Quicken? The import/export stuff really becomes a hassle after being able to sync and forgetting about it with Pocket Quicken, however I like the looks and features of other applications out there and am avoiding trialing some of the newer ones. It wouldn't be as much of an issue, except when you're dealing with finances, losing a transaction or two simply because I missed a quirk of some new software can really bite hard.

Just wondering what your experiences were with program integration in software other than Pocket Quicken.

Looks interesting. I'm going to give it a try.

I've been thinking about SplashWallet - I've already got SplashID though. It'd be a done deal if SplashPhoto would handle wide screen...
