Why

When I was in college I managed my finances with complicated spread sheets that I developed. This quickly got out of hand as an adult in the real world. Since most bill collectors are pushing “E-Statements” down their customers throats, not to mention some E-Statements either got placed into the spam folder, or they force the user to log into their website to view it.

I needed a way to remind myself of what bills I needed to pay, and to remind myself of every auto-draft bills that happen every month such as my Netflix service, Sirius XM, Slicehost.

I looked at MyBillQ, Yodlee Money Center, Mint, BillMinder, YouNeedABudget, PocketSmith, and a few others. None of these solutions cut it for me (PocketSmith was the closest, yet overkill). I needed something simple, yet smart. Something that did not need to look financial ledgers to be smart. Mainly I needed something tailored to the way I thought bill management should be.
