IGG Software's iBank program, a personal finance manager designed especially for the Mac community, has been winning converts who are impressed with its ease of use, its style and its many features. Some in the industry asked Ian Gillespie, founder and president of IGG Software, how he expected to compete with Quicken, which was developed by Intuit. 'Because a lot of people are fed up with Quicken,' was his response. 'They don't like the way Intuit has been treating its Mac customers. They are very eager to jump ship.' IGG was founded in 2003 by Gillespie. [..] Gillespie employs four full-timers and four part-timers. Recently he hired an additional part-timer, but has no plans at this time to hire more employees.

Why we chose it
Account setup
If you’re totally new to money management, Mint is the way to go. The simplicity starts with account setup. Mint links all of your accounts with the same bank in one fell swoop, so it only takes a minute to get rolling. Then it pulls two months’ worth of transaction history and begins categorizing.
Transaction sorting
Intuit’s products (the other being Quicken) nail down transactions better than any other software we looked at. They even break down subcategories (think: “Fast Food” instead of “Restaurants”), making it easy to visualize and categorize your monthly spending.
In order to copy and paste the public key to, you need to copy it in the same format as it was when it was generated by puttygen. Adding your private key to pageantAfter you have generated the SSH keypair, you need to add the SSH private key to pageant, PuTTY’s key management tool. Create ssh key windows git. That format should be: “ssh-rsa keycodegenerated”. All you need to do is modify your key in an editor like Notepad, and then add it to Beanstalk. First, run pageant, which can be found in the directory where you have installed PuTTY package (remember, by default: c:Program FilesPuTTY).
Mint (left) labels every transaction clearly, while Personal Capital (right) uses general categories.
Visualizes spending
Mint uses a unique pie chart system to show you how your income and expenses break down, and it allows you to adjust these charts to show spending for specific categories, accounts, or time periods. This is a level of financial visibility we didn’t see anywhere else. It gives you deep insight into your own habits so you can check in and make adjustments if need be.
Mint automatically visualizes your spending habits, so you can see where your money’s going at a glance.
Budgets feature
Mint allows you to create budgets for a number of categories. Start with the preset budgets, like 'Restaurants' and 'Transportation,' or create as many custom categories as you like. After doing so, the software will automatically fill them in. We did notice that Mint isn’t as smart about labeling budgets as it is with transactions (it slotted a bus pass into “Education,” for example), but after a little tinkering, it’s great for automatically tracking your spending.
Teach Banzai
With your budgets and savings goals shown in bar graphs like the one above, it’s easy to log in and make on-the-spot financial decisions. For instance, you can pull out your phone at the grocery store, look at your grocery budget, and decide whether to splurge on the $25 rosé or stick to the $10 bottle (without doing any frantic mental math).
Mint shows your budgets clearly, so you can check in and see how you’re doing at a glance.
Points to consider
Banner ads
We love that Mint is a free personal finance app — but that does mean putting up with banner ads. They’re not overwhelming, but you will have to scroll through some full-screen credit card and loan offers. If you’re looking for a more streamlined experience, we recommend checking out Quicken.
