mini$

Management of activities is a great way to make the best out of time, and even money. Needless to say that a clever budget plan is the way to go if you want to save some cash by the end of each month. There are various specialized applications in this regard, and mini$ is a suitable example, with a great deal of flexibility to offer.

For starters, it doesn’t take you through a setup process, so it can be your personal finance manager to carry around on a thumb drive and use wherever needed. More than that, it relies on Java Runtime Environment to function, which means it can be used even on computers which don’t use the Windows operating system.

The application offers quite a diversity of features, and even comes with an abundance of preset fields for accounts, categories, payees, and more. On the bright side of things, you’re free to edit them as you see fit, or simply rely on them, especially since they contain intuitive tags for both expenses and income items.

There are different types of account customization options. It’s a good idea to first pay a visit to category management tools, so you get a solid concept of the items at hand. These are mostly modified on the spot, with intuitive requirement fields at your disposal, and update once editing is done.

Multiple accounts can be created, with the possibility to specify the type and name for each. Balance is shown in the dashboard. Moreover, the application comes with built-in alarms and schedulers which can be used to automate some transactions, such as monthly income. Reports can be generated, and you can even export sheets of data as QIF, OFX, or CSV.

Bottom line is that mini$ is a powerful finance manager wrapped around an appealing, intuitive design. Flexibility is one of its strong points, while editing of fields is done on the spot. Reports can be generated, and even exported for more comfort.
