iPhone app update: JetSet Expenses 1.2.1

by Steven Sande (RSS feed) on Mar 11th, 2009

TUAW did a first look of BriteMac Software's JetSet Expenses 1.1 for iPhone last September, and with time the app has added functionality and stability. JetSet Expenses 1.2.1 (click opens iTunes) has recently appeared in the App Store, and the changes look great:
  • Expense type detail reports now have totals so that they have the same level of detail as summary reports
  • Mileage totals are now in the detailed expense report
  • Billable expenses are now broken out and totaled separately
  • A report is now marked as submitted when it is emailed or sent to Google Docs
  • Now supports up to 6 different payment types
  • A personal balance shows the difference between the expenses you paid versus expenses allowed to you
  • Can now mark expenses as either billable or reimbursable
  • Mileage support for business, medical, charity, and one more user-defined type
  • JetSet Expenses now follows local currency and date formatting
  • An improved user interface; you can enter as much or as little data as needed for reporting
I use JetSet Expenses to track my business travel expenses, and the latest version has improved an already good app.

There's a two-week sale on JetSet right now -- the usual US$9.99 price has been halved to US$4.99. BriteMac has also released a free version for those who want to test-drive JetSet Expenses. Version 1.3 is forthcoming in the future, with support for multiple currencies.

First Look: Pennies for iPhone

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Aug 7th, 2008

Pennies is a new iPhone application from the same people who brought you AppZapper and Disco. Pennies is a simple, yet beautifully designed, application to manage your monthly budget right from your iPhone or iPod touch. When you first launch the application you are presented with a "This Month" budget screen where you can set your monthly budget, see how much you've spent, see top expenses, and get some statistics.

In the "Expenses" tab you can add, edit, or annotate your expenses. When you add an expense, you can select a category and enter an amount. You can choose between 10 categories including: general, food, electronics personal, and groceries. When you enter an amount and save the expense, it is automatically deducted from the budget and the "fuel gauge" moves towards the "empty" line on the month screen.

Overall, this is a very nicely designed application that offers a handy solution for managing your budget on-the-go. However, it would be nice to have a desktop application on the Mac that this app could sync with. Perhaps via a WiFi link, like 1Password for iPhone -- maybe it could connect with ChaChing? Still, for $2.99, this application is definitely worth the price. Pennies (iTunes Link) is available right now via the App Store.

NEAT Receipts for Mac Advance Release

by Steven Sande (RSS feed) on May 19th, 2008

NEAT Receipts for Mac Advance ReleaseHey, slacker! You know who you are - the person who waited until 11:59 PM on April 15th to file your tax return. You've decided to get organized so you can file on April 14th next year. Windows users have had a leg up in the expense organizing world with a best-selling scanner/software combo called NEAT Receipts. Now Mac users are getting the love too.

Consisting of a sleek little scanner and some proprietary software, NEAT Receipts for Mac Advance Release is a complete solution for capturing all of life's little expenses automatically. You scan a receipt, and OCR software captures the vendor, price, sales tax, and other data into a library along with an image of the receipt.

NEAT Receipts for Mac Advance Release doesn't have all of the features of the PC version yet, but it will when the final version is released in January, 2009. For the time being, you can buy the scanner and software for $179.95 (a full $50 less than the PC version) and upgrade to the full Mac version for free when it ships.

Thanks to Rachel for the tip!
