looks like too many people wanted to check it out - Plaid is returning a 429
Why should I use a service hosted by someone else for something this important? Not only will I (besides losing money) have to worry about not being able to access my data, but especially about somebody else accessing it.
This looks really cool! I'm not sure if I wanna register myself on this service yet so I haven't seen a lot of it but I'm curious: How is my transaction data imported? Are there APIs for that or do something else? (Sorry if this is explained somewhere on the site already.)
I'm on the phone right now, it's not clear in the bit of the site I can see. But is it possible to run it on the desktop, entirely offline?
I really like where this is going. It looks like a much more polished version of my own personal solution for this problem. The one thing I really dislike is the way transactions are brought into the system. I get that it's preferable to outsource that to entities that specialize in it, like Yodlee/Plaid/whatever, but when I get to that IFRAME asking me to enter my banking credentials... sorry, I just can't bring mys…
I hear you loud and clear. Allowing manual import of transactions via CSV is very high on our feature list!

YNAB user here - this looks great and I love new tools :) but what differentiates this from YNAB besides non-envelope budgeting method? also nice - the ability for a partner/spouse to collaborate on the same budget which is also a nice plus Lunch Money has if there is an "last edited" feature and collaboration as a 1st-class thing (YNAB is stubborn on this point)
To your point about collaboration, we track who did what, but we don't go as far as having a complete edit history. It seems like a good idea though, I'll add that to our backlog. Thanks for the feedback!
This looks like what I for my own financials, only more done ;). I like the graphs, although I am confused by the example where you are under budget, but the line is still red.

It's a web application, it won't do you much good if you're offline unfortunately. That being said, our mobile app will be optimized for offline usage!
