I just discovered a great little piece of software: Budget Calendar from MiShell Software Systems. It's available for Mac, Linux, and Windows. It's inexpensive but not cheap!
Rich and I have been talking about tracking our expenses more closely. I already make notes in a notebook. We were thinking of adding a spreadsheet to calculate types and totals.
I decided to look for a simple calendar application that I could mark with the days we go out for meals, to get an overview of what we do and how often. I found a couple of options (see Mom's Calendar for Mac OS if you want something like that.) But I also found Budget Calendar. It turns out this is what I was really looking for; I just didn't know it!
Features:
- item-by-item data entry
- click on a day to add an entry
- one-button mouse (single-click) support
- categories
- optional repeating payments
- full or summary (by category) report
- daily balance shown (when will you go over your budget?)
- multiple forecasting options
- export to Excel
- track income or outflow
- optional icons (customizable; add to the set)
- fully customizable fonts and colors
Simple. Easy to use. Elegant UI. Terrific idea. Great price. Why has no one done this before?
30-day demo available. $14.95 registration price.
