Mint.com is a great financial tool, but wouldn’t it be better if it more like a desktop app? Well, now it sort of is… My implementation is very basic, just a WebKit application layer, but it allows you to run Mint as a “standalone” application on your computer.
Obviously it only works on OS X, and requires Fluid to be installed, but both Fluid and Mint.app are included in the installation package.
Of course, an internet connection is still required.
Nothing fancy, but you may find it useful.
I’ve only tested it on my machine, so I’m looking for few other mac users to test the software for me. It doesn’t require that you have a Mint account to run it, but I highly suggest signing up for one! Send me an email (aaron [at] hijinksinc [dot] com) if you’re interested in taking it for a spin.
Once testing concludes, I’ll release it via the Hijinks Inc. Repo.
I hadn’t even logged in to Mint at all over the last few months, but a couple days ago I decided to see what progress they’ve made since I last used it.
Right off the bat, I noticed they’d finally added support for brokerage accounts! Amazing! Only downside, the Add Account function doesn’t seem to work under Firefox 3 Beta 5, for shame!
