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:

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:

The old-and-ugly charts has been replaced by these:

The charts are now flash-based, and it means that you can rotate them and interact in many ways with them. Come on, try them out!

p.d: The old ones will still appear on the reports in case you choose the option “display graphics”

You can now insert batch transactions using the new import tool we’ve added. Just click on its respective icon () to open the Import window:

There is a new icon on the toolbar: , the Reports button.

Clicking on it you can generate an Excel report that’ll look more or less like this:

You just need to enter the desired time range as well as the project.

We are going to let users generate PDF reports as well. Hope you find it useful!

* Edit: PDF reports added!
