Introducing the PocketSmith desktop app. Happy New Year!
New feature · 31 Dec, 2016

On the last day of 2016, we’re happy to announce that the first versions of the PocketSmith desktop app are in beta. These are available to download here now for Windows, Mac and Debian-based Linux distributions.

While this is a just the first step towards better desktop integration, we’ve already found it really helpful to have PocketSmith always available right where we left it last. We also recently introduced a “Remember Me” checkbox to keep you signed in for 2 weeks, making it easy to have PocketSmith always ready and waiting on your private devices.

Thanks again for your support this year. We look forward to introducing you to many awesome things in 2017!

Sneak peek of new category analysis and roll-up budgets
Feature in beta · 1 Jul, 2016

A beta preview of the new category budget analysis is now available at https://budgetingbeta.pocketsmith.com/budgets. The primary change you’ll see are new graphs when you drill-down into an individual category, where you’ll also find roll-up budget analysis.

The default Budgets front page hasn’t visually changed yet, and there are a few bugs we’re still working through here. We’re also discussing the plan for bringing roll-up budgeting to the fore here too, as well as other improvements that are possible now that the background work has been completed.

The site at https://budgetingbeta.pocketsmith.com can be used alongside the main application at https://my.pocketsmith.com, as data will remain consistent between both. Please let us know any feedback you have about the beta!
