There's a certain variety of budgeting I've yet to see, but that I think would be very valuable. It's something I'd pay a decent amount for, actually. The majority of my expenses and income are very predictable, such that I get paid every N days, I get billed X every Y days, etc. I would like to see an application that tracks my balance for every day, from now and into the future, such that I can see my predicted bal…

Thank you! I keep seeing these money management apps pop up, and I have yet to see one that's actually useful.. One that does what I want... What you just described.

I find if I have to input every little thing into it every day manually, I'm just going to get bored with having to interact with the app so much and then stop using it.

I love this. The whole "I made 30 apps this year..." posts are rediculous. Anyone can make lots of crapy apps. Creating a well designed app with valuable functionality and propper marketing/support web pages takes time and skill. Kudos.

Agreed. But I will be curious to see who is making more money in a year.

Indeed. Thirty multiplied by zero is still zero.

Picasso was doing 3 paintings/drawings per day at some point in his career. We saw Edison's to-do list as well.

Haha, yes. Most apps on the app store don't make any money at all, but if making 30 helps you identify a profitable niche you can target then you'll come out ahead of the polished but perhaps poorly targeted app.

Hopefully people continue to release their stats.

There's an app for this. Dollarbird - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dollarbird-personal-finance/... it does exactly that for me. It does not tie to my bank account though it's all manual input (but you can schedule in recurring payments/income), which is actually good for me because I dislike miscategorizations

nitpick: the image on your page doesn't look right. It takes too long to load for such a small image and it isn't clear. Perhaps you have a large image which is being re-sized by the browser? I'm on firefox, windows 7.

You guessed correctly, the image is an extraordinarily large png (1050x1364, 250kB).
