MoneyWell 1.3 – A powerful personal finance organizer
Moneywell aims at simplifying how you manage your personal finances. The application shows all your income and expenses in one clear interface. These are put in buckets, which are listed on the left of the program window. You can create buckets for every sort of income and expense such as transportation, education or clothing. The right part of the interface shows details for a specific item while the center shows all general information.
We quite liked the tool to allocate your income. You’ll be able to set monthly and yearly spending for specific buckets and assign varying priorities for these. Moneywell also lets you easily set your starting income the first time you launch the program.
In terms of performance, we were a bit confused by the interface and by how you could allocate amounts or recalculate income and expenses. We were a bit annoyed not too find an undo button on the menu bar and found that the preferences were really limited. In all, though, you should get used to Moneywell after having fiddled with it for a while.
Moneywell is a nice tool to organize your personal finances and monitor how much money you’re allocating to your most common expenses.
