In an effort to really keep track and manage money better, I’ve tried different tools online that will have the features I want in one place
- Web based and with Mobile App support
- Keeping track of accounts
- Sync with your bank records
- Keeping track and of bills and monthly reminders
- Overview of spending categories
- Setting budgets
The winner for me right now is

Add accounts manually
You can set Reminders

Update! New version released and it rocks!
They are preparing to release the new version soon however you can already opt to try the new interface here
What’s new
I noticed that it loads blazing fast and has an even easier to read interface. Fonts and numbers look bigger and well spaced across the screen. They also updated the page design to today’s interface standards.
The menu is easier to access on your left.
Here are some of the tools I’ve tried and let go
