Mint shutdown?

What? FUCK.

It feels like the fact that I didn't know that says a lot about how much I don't have my shit together.

[–] PeachMan@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Apparently they just announced it

Looks like it's to push credit karma onto folks but with no budgeting features :/

Credit Karma does not currently provide budgeting features the same way that Mint has in the past.

[–] PeachMan@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Credit Karma also doesn't have bill tracking, which is the main feature I use with Mint. It's just a fucking credit score tool lol.

You give YNAB a shot?

I'm actually trying PocketGuide, just started the 7 day trial. I'm really impressed so far, it seems better than Mint and the annual price is only $35 (which isn't free, but it's cheaper than most of the alternatives). I plugged in all my checking and credit card accounts and it's working great. It already told me that I'm spending too much money and I need to re-do my budget. 😂

It has a free version but you can only plug in two accounts so it's pretty useless (unless two is enough for you).

so you just like cant use it all of a sudden now after it shuts down? why are people using personal finance services instead of desktop applications?? thats not something you can just switch off with little effort

A university maybe had students make a budgeting app. When done they might post it on fdroid?

Yeah, helped test out my friend's money management app some months ago. Really must be a university thing

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Are they all legit?

[–] abeorch@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Would be interesting of you spot any good ones to let me know. Im particularly interested in this topic at the moment.

[–] trymeout@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This one looks promising especially if the dev adds this feature I requested. It is written in Dart.
