[ANNOUNCE] Buddy - a budget and expense manager for maemo.
 

http://misc.passiongarage.co.uk/buddy.jpg


It started of as a simple application to manage expenses and budgets in a list and show some totals.
One thing led to another and it inspired me to incorporate more features to help manage budgets and expenses , show graphical reports and to create/restore backups.

Ive put in some sincere effort to keep the usage simple and generic to suit anybody's use, but Im happy to hear if it doesnt, we could work something out.
I simply loved doing the graphs, i hope you enjoy as much using them.

Buddy's website http://buddy.passiongarage.co.uk contains all the information you need to see how the app looks and functions.
If you have further questions you can get back to me using the contact/feedback sections or even here.

As always comments and feedback welcome, I'd be happy to take them at buddy's own site. ( and no you dont need any account there to throw in your feedback/comments or bugs :) )

Buddy is available to download via a link to the maemo repository @ buddy's download section in the website or you could get it from the application manager on the phone or the maemo.org download page.

Thanks for the feedback and taking a look.

Wow! This looks like an awesome app! It might actually become the first app that I pay for. However, could you please submit it for testing and promotion to extras. That is the only thing stopping me from trying this out atm, as I am very weary of putting any financial and personal details into applications that haven't been (thoroughly) independently tested.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Buddy - a budget and expense manager for maemo.
 

thanks for the appreciation.
just trying to clarify a point here. the app does not require any personal details like bank accounts , its just a record of your expenses and budgets, no personal details are input. Its only a means to track how you are spending, not really manage actual money accounts.
About transferring to extras, I will be submitting this to extras-testing when PR1.2 is out.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Buddy - a budget and expense manager for maemo.
 

I have downloaded the program last night and will, once PR 1.2 is out be definitely paypalling you for it.

Is there an option for tracking savings as well? I would like to be able to see my savings in relation to my expenses.
