Praised across the internet as hands-down the "best budgeting software", You Need A Budget (YNAB) cuts to the chase with your finances. The software focuses you on the foundation of your finances: the Budget. Experience has shown that when your budget is intact, and functioning correctly, everything else takes care of itself (the bills are paid on time, retirement contributions are made, and unnecessary debt is eliminated). The software is built around Four Rules of Cash Flow. These Four Rules will help you break the paycheck to paycheck cycle, get out of debt, and save more money faster. Where other software packages tend to be the products of years of feature creep, YNAB offers you exactly what you need: a simple, straightforward system to manage your money.

Remember to take advantage of YNAB's fantastic support resources: video tutorials, and free live budgeting classes for any and all interested!

YNAB is built on the powerful Adobe AIR platform, which means you can run it on Windows, Mac, or Linux!

iBank is an intuitive personal and small business financial manager designed to track bank accounts, credit cards, loans and investments, to analyze income and expenses with live updating charts, and to plan your financial future with easy budgeting and forecasting tools. Wrapped in a familiar, Mac-like interface, iBank is a robust financial application able to meet the needs of both casual home users or sophisticated investors. iBank offers many of the features not found in other Mac finance applications, such as password protection for your accounts; check printing; the ability to export data to standard formats for use with TurboTax, Excel or Quicken; or advanced investment tracking of buys, sells, dividends and cost basis. iBank can directly connect to your bank to download transactions, or sync transactions entered on the go from iBank Mobile for iPhone and iPod touch (sold separately). Other features allow you to track mortgages or loans, see your account balances through time, create budgets and reports, attach images to transactions, sync items to iCal, backup automatically to MobileMe accounts, and much more. iBank’s developers listen their customers, releasing frequent improvements, updates and fixes, and offering responsive tech support and customer service.
