We are very proud to announce that finally we’ve got the official iPhone Moneytrackin client avaliable on the AppStore.

You can download it for free on this link or under the financial category of the appstore.

The iPhone client allows you to check your Moneytrackin’ accounts wherever you are, and also enter new earnings or expenses very easily.

From now on you’ll be able to import Norma 43 and Qif 99 files to your Moneytrackin’ account.

Norma 43 (also known as Cuaderno 43) is a widely used financial format in Spain. Most of spanish bank allow their customers to download his financial data in this format, and as we are spaniards we’re very proud to support it.

Qif is a common financial format for personal finances applications (originally developed by Intuit Quicken). As of today Moneytrackin’ accepted QIF files in his 2001 version, but from now on also will accept QIF 99, an old format but also widely used.

If you find an incompatibility with any of the import formats don’t hesitate to contact us at contact@moneytrackin.com and we’ll do our best to improve the import process of any financial file you may have.

Edit: There is a step by step tutorial showing the whole import process on the cofounder’s personal blog (in spanish)

We have pushed some minor but powerful changes today.

One is a new field on the account creation that lets you define a starting balance so that the newly created account show its real & up to date value.

The other enhancement is the possibility to browse through all months’ limits and their value in either past, current or future months. This way our users can keep a better track of their budgets by knowing which percentage they have spent or will spend on a particular tag.

Thanks to all users who sent their feedback on these!

We’ve added some cool improves on the saving money world map:

• User avatar marks: Local tips are now represented with the current author’s avatar. Far better in order to locate the people who is helping us to save money!
• Draggable marks: When two local tip marks are overlapped, drag one of them to another area and magically it will show a cute blue arrow targeting the original location of the tip. Nice feature, isn’t it?

We’ve uploaded a bunch of new cool features that our users had requested through the How would you improve Moneytrackin’? message board:

• Rename main account: Rename the “Main account” to fit your needs (Bank, Cash, Credit Card….)
• UTF-8 tags: New tags support international characters (cyrillic, chinese,…) and punctuations (ç,ñ,ü…)
• Sorting headers: In Accounting tab now you’re able to sort the transactions table as you prefer (just click on the header of the row you want to sort with)
• CSV Export: From now on you can export your moneytrackin’ data into a open csv format. Compatible with all operating systems and most office suite’s spreadsheet.
• Chosing accounts at Dashboard plot: Now you can select manually the projects you want to show into the Dashboard’s Project Balance Plot

We hope you enjoy these new features and keep suggesting on the forum or through the Contact Form

We’re on a roll! I’m happy to announce that now you can also edit periodic (recurrent) transactions:

Thanks to all reporters on the message board

We have finished the operating via e-mail feature, that will be very handy for all those brackberry / mobile email users out there.

Each user has an unique and easy-to-remember random email address showd up on the user preferences window. These address should be kept private, and it can be regenerated at any time if you think that someone does also know it. You can see it on the user preferences window, and you can also get a new one from there if you think that someone else knows your address.

Making a request

You need to send a text-only (no html) e-mail to your private password specifying your username on the subject (this is for security reasons), and the request itself goes into the message body with the following format:

For example, in order to make a valid insert request we would send an email to our private address with our username as the subject and then we would entere the following text in the message body:

insert
main
Car repair: disc brake pads replacement
-587.23
now
car unexpected

Important: For security reasons we only reply at correct “get balance” requests. We don’t reply with any message neither if the operation has finished successfull or not.
Edit: We think that the private address – username pair is strong enough so anybody couldn’t guess it randomly, so now you’ll get an info reply just after your request had been processed.

We’ve developed another long-awaited request from our users: Click on the toolbar’s new icon ( ), specify a date range and some tags

and you’ll get a graph like this:
