Hello, We have tried many financial applications, e.g., Mint, Toshl, Spendee, etc. Mint and similar work only for some countries (U.S., Canada, Australia, etc.), require your bank login and password, and don’t allow to create your own accounts - only synchronize existing accounts. That doesn’t make them different from online and mobile applications provided by most banks. Others have only mobile versions, but we need a “wider” view of our finances. I mean that it is easy to check your accounts and transactions in the bank mobile application, but I find my Mac screen better suited for charts and reports. Probably, all the reasons above are not enough to create a new application. We created MoneyBench because nobody cares to create a tool for people like us: * who have accounts in several countries in multiple currencies; * who have multiple sources of income and expenses related to those sources; * who change their lives quite frequently; * who need what-if analysis for tomorrow instead of knowing their yesterday and today. We have created a laboratory for our experiments and maybe yours Today we only collect and analyze the data, but tomorrow we will act on the data. So, if you have any ideas how to make decisions based on data, we are glad to discuss them. Kind regards, Olga

First, we want to thank Google Finance for this message: "Google Finance is under renovation. As a part of this process, the Portfolios feature won't be available after mid-November 2017. To keep a copy, download your portfolio". Investments were distant future for MoneyBench application and we didn't have any plans to implement it in observable future, but Google changed the status quo. In October 2017, we had to find a new investment portfolio tracking tool, or implement this functionality in MoneyBench. Many financial services propose investments portfolio tracking tools. E.g., you can find very nice stock charts on Yahoo, but you won't find the distribution of your gains and losses, the history of your portfolio market value or the history of invested amounts by security. Implementation of investments tracking was a difficult problem because we didn't want to create a clone of an existing functionality. We have created reports and charts for the analysis of the investment decisions and estimation of the financial capacity of the investments. We hope you will find it useful for the financial health analysis. Regards, Olga
