For all you people waiting to be able to run YNAB Pro on your Mac (and Linux)…
Taylor sent me a screenshot today of the first looks of the Register in an AIR App. I became giddy. Sure, only a few things work on it, but you could navigate from the Register to the Budget…
Everything’s still subject to visual change…
The back-end programming is all very much in there. We just have to put a pretty face on it. I wouldn’t say it’s the equivalent of practicing and practicing for your play and then just having to apply the stage makeup…there’s more to it than that. But we’re getting there.
YEAH! I’ve got a program i’m using in demo mode and am putting off buying the dang thing. I like yours better! hurry up….. please?
I’m a little out of touch with this stuff, but since the new app is written in Adobe Air, does that mean that it could potentially be run from a website?
@Aaron, in due time, absolutely :)
Hey,
Be great when YNAB Pro is ready for MAC. Can’t wait to try it out.
Keep up the good work.
Can’t wait till we get a beta… seriously guys, can’t wait! :-)
All your hard work will definitely be appreciated!
How exciting! We’re waiting with baited breath. Congratulations, and thanks for all the hard work. We’ll be looking forward to more news, or better yet, the rollout!
i swear i’m still patiently waiting.
Wvery geeked about this version. In just three months of (correctly) using ynab, we are alreadyseeing a difference. We are paying one of our cars off this month and working on really saving for futures projects and goals. Being able to do all that on my Mac will only make it sweeter!!
Liking forward to the beta!
@Chris, congrats on knocking out one of the car debts this month!
will there be any sort of deal for those who bought it for PC already?
More! Show us more! :-)
Good job…nice to see it’s coming along
Looks like a pretty sweet start to an amazing product!
Being an Apple aficionado and Mac OS X extreme user, I, for one, am really excited for the release of this version. Keep up the great work!
Jesse,
Woooooh! I’m getting exciiiiited.
From this little image it looks like it may be even more of a pleasure to use than it already was. I wasn’t sure that was possible, but i must say it’s looking good.
can’t wait mate.
Big Aussie Cheers to you,
Andrew
Cool. Very much looking forward to the AIR’ed-out version!
I am so looking foreward to this!
Lookin’ good!! Can’t wait for the Linux version! If I had the money (working on it)for a Mac, then I’d be excited about that version as well! :)
Can’t wait, looks awesome.
I was here. Eagerly waiting for this!
I am so excited to see this moving along for the mac. Can’t wait till it gets released
please bring this on! i’m discouraged to get into my YNAB in excel because i’m hoping and waiting for the pro to come out… i am excited!
Neat. I’m ready for this. My mac and me are ready to take hold of this puppy and give it a spin!
Looks clean with a fresh approach to keeping a budget or spending plan
I’m super excited about this new cross platform release!
Can’t wait for the version to come out! The pro version works well with parallels, but looking forward to having it all on the mac side. Keep up the good work.
I am desperately waiting for the MAC version…I need a budget software and I need it now…thing is, nothing works that great for MACs and I’m trying to be oh so patient for this to come out! HURRY, HURRY, HURRY!!!
I CANNOT WAIT to purchase Ynab pro for mac…I really cannot wait!! Giddy up cowboy, let’s rock and roll :-)
I can’t wait until it’s done!!
Great work!! I definitely envy YNAB to be on the Mac.
Looks nice! I am chomping at the bit for this to come out. I do have a Mac, which is why I don’t have any money. ;)
Love the progress, I’m getting excited for the Mac version. Keep up the good work.
Keep up the good work
Very exciting. Can’t wait!
I am so happy to hear that YNAB Pro for Mac is almost ready. It looks great. I hope I can export from YNAB Pro for Windows to YNAB Pro for Mac.
Oh…be still my beating heart ^_^
I don’t know about the other Mac addicts who are waiting for this, but a pretty face doesn’t mean as much to me as it may mean to you.
Great look! I can’t wait. Thank you so much for doing this for the Mac.
Mac’s ready when YNAB Pro is!
Looks good. Do existing customers get a discount if we upgrade to Mac version? Just wonderin’….
Patiently waiting!
I like it and want to see more. We have an iMac and would love to switch from YNAB Basic to Pro for the Mac.
It’s beautiful! I’m giddy too!
Looks good! Can’t wait for it to be ready. Awesome idea to use AIR as platform.
A thought had the other day: Once this is ready, it’d be REALLY cool if you could build a Dashboard widget that would allow me to enter my register items and would then be loaded into YNAB (without opening it up!).
I cannot wait for the Mac version, I’ll be able to dump Windows from my computer!
Glad to see it is coming along. My fiancee and I are devotees and are now expecting a child in August. I’m a Mac and she’s a PC so we are excited to be able to use it on both formats. There is no way- I mean it- that we would be able to sleep at night without YNAB. It is the single most empowering piece of software that we have used. She is getting her MBA at UCLA/Andersen and asked the other day if there is a YNAB for business, “‘Cause that is what a lot of them could use right now.” I can’t even begin to imagine a corporation or small business empowering themselves as we have with a such a “simple” tool. Best of luck and thanks again for your hard work.
Really excited to not have to run my virtual machine to be able to go from my PC to my MacBook. I do hope it loads quicker than the Wondows version, but I love LOVE the program.
I had never heard of Adobe AIR, so I went to Adobe’s sit to check it out. Downloaded a free eBay AIR application to play around and see what its like. It actually looks pretty cool. If YNAB looks similar, this should be a great solution to solve the multi-OS problems.
I was hoping the snippet was more than just a logo — but I hope its ready sooner than later.
Jesse — THANK YOU! And, you’re cruel to tease us like this! Can’t wait to get the Mac version…Thanks so much for all of the hard work! Keep it up! :)
Looking forward to YNAB pro. I can hardly wait! Thanks for the peek.
These little reminders that it’s in the works are great! Thanks for keeping us up-to-date.
I’ve got a Mac, and am just as giddy for this!
Random Q: Will we be able to import our existing excel files into the program, or will we need to start from scratch?
keep on working!!! I’ve already recommended this program, and I haven’t even gotten to try it myself :) Hope it comes together easily, haha
This is taking way too long
@Burney, I couldn’t agree more. What should have been done last June is now still quite an undertaking. I am happy to report that we’ve been able to self-fund — which has meant a lot to me. Though I’ll be the first to admit that going slow enough to afford it has been very, very tough at times.
To everyone’s questions about pricing — I haven’t worked that out yet, but I’ll work something up and let everyone know as soon as it’s set in place.
Oh, and about data migration. It’ll be seamless from either Basic or Pro.
That looks good so far. I’m excited to see the Mac version, I think I can get a few Mac loving co-workers interested when it is finished.
YNAB for mac? I’m waiting!!!!
Hey I’m waiting patiently. OK I’m waiting anyway. Looking forward to the Mac version.
It looks fantastic!
I’ve tried a number of other budgeting tools but I keep coming back to YNAB so I can’t wait for the Mac version.
Great!
Question… will it have a monthly bank account reconciliation function?(for those of use that don’t reconcile with paper and pencil)
Just keeping the PC alive for YNAB. After 2 years of using YNAB I can not go back. I have seen other applications written in AIR, its stunning.
Don’t play with the graphics too much :>)
Have been waiting for this
Can’t wait to upgade from basic. This ideas in YNAB are so powerful.
That’s is a tiny peak – at a big change.
I’m very excited and can’t wait to get my hands on it. But take your time to get it right.
Thanks for the update.
Really looking forward to your completion. Thanks for keeping us updated, it helps. A request from one of your longstanding clients …..please please can it accommodate and function with multiple currencies. It is something that has forced me look to other software and I have noted other YNABers on the blog with the same requests. The world is such that many people now have live/work configurations that require inputting and computing home budgets in different currencies. eg Paid in 1 currency but living in another country. Or have a work assignment in 1 country of whatever length and the rest of your accounts at home in another.I have done considerable research on this and although there is budgeting software that addresses it, no one has done it well. One of the appealing traits about your mandate and product is that you do things differently and better. Thanks!
I’m using YNAB Basic on my computer which runs Linux and it works just fine. That being said, however, I can’t wait for it to come out for Linux and see just how cool it is to use pro with that. Very cool and thank you so much for all of your hard work. When it comes to money, YNAB knows what it’s talking about no matter what platform it’s running on. I use YNAB for every single dollar I spend, whether Checking, Savings, Cash, anything. I actually don’t have any credit cards and no credit but the way I see it, if I budget wisely and use YNAB, I just can’t go wrong. Of course, the point is to follow the 4 rules which I am serious enough about, that I do.
Very exciting. Can’t wait to start using it!
Jesse: Like many others who have posted to this blog, I have waited patiently–and sometimes not so patiently–for YNAB Pro for Mac. I’m currently operating on Quicken 2006 for Mac, because I have one of those old Macs operating on the pre-Intel architecture. I hope this won’t prevent me from using the new YNAB Pro for Mac.(???) It must feel great knowing that you’re the developer of a product that touches so many lives, effecting them for the better. Kudos to you and your development team! — Chris
I’m running the regular ynab and loving it….but eagerly awiating the release of the pro for my MAC. This is going to rock!
I can’t wait!
Yes, I better start saving up for the upgrade once it’s available for my old mac. :)
I have been using YNAB on PC for 6 months. My Dad surprised us with an iMac. It was only a few minutes later when I literally started to feel panicky… the realization that I wouldn’t be able to use YNAB on my new iMac! So…. it will stay in the box until I can get my hands on a copy of YNAB Pro for Mac. Thank you for your hard work…. really, keep working on it… looking so forward to this!!!
Can’t wait to test it! I’m enthusiastic enough about your product that I am holding out (rather than getting Quicken for Mac). I’m so excited! This is VERY cool!
Faithful user, looking forward to the new version. Thanks for the heads up. I will be able to gift to my twentysomething kids who are Mac users.
Looks good! I cannot wait to be able to run it on my Mac. I am trying to get by with scheduling all of our paychecks for the month to come into Quickbooks on the last day of the month – quick and dirty, but it is just not the same as the YNAB Pro software that the videos show on the site.
Thanks for the preview!
I am so excited. Waiting with great anticipation for the MAC version beta testing.
I love that so many Mac users also use YNAB. Maybe there’s a correlation — a PhD thesis in the making?
Anyway, not that I dislike Excel, but I also love that we’re to get a version soon that will run on our machines AND be pretty and simple. Sweet. Thanks Jesse and new-Pro team!
can’t wait…i’ve been looking forward to software like this for a while.
Way To Go, Jeff…… Been Waiting For The Mac Version OF YNAB Because I Just Know It’s Going To Be A Winner With Mac Users Especially With Me Which Is Why I’ve Been Pushing A Pencil On Paper From Month To Month Figuring My Monthly Budget Instead Of Purchasing Another Budgeting Software Program While Waiting For The Completion Of YNAB PRO for Mac Users. Can’t Wait Till The Day Comes When You Stand With Scissors In Hand Cutting The Red Ribbon To Announce The YNAB PRO For Mac Is Hear For Sale.
I use iBank now and I tried Quicken. I have also created my own system using Open Office and Excel. But, I want a professional program to suit all of my needs. So, I can’t wait for the day when YNAB PRO is available for my MAC.
looks grrrreat! can’t wait for it!!!!
I really want and need to purchase YNAB Pro for MAC. keep up the good work, but hurry, hurry.
I can hardly wait. I’m glad you’re taking time to do it right. It looks wonderful, and I”m sure it will work even better!
Janice
looking forward to trying out on my Mac
looking forward to this, have an old normal PC license and will be interested in upgrading to Pro on the Mac as have switched at home.
Keep up the good work Jesse!
Looks great Jesse – can’t wait
Great! I can’t wait to use YNAB for Linux!
Awesome, I have been waiting for a Mac version to jump in and give YNAB a try. I am looking forward to it’s release.
Very cool! I’ve been trying to decide between the spreadsheet and Pro versions of YNAB (I use MS Money on WinXP primarily), but I just recently picked up a Linux-based netbook and would really like to be able to use YNAB Pro on it. I don’t mind spreadsheets, but YNAB Pro has those handy automation features and pretty charts…
;)
Will there be separate pricing for each Pro platform version, or will one Pro license give you access to the Windows, Linux, and Mac editions?
I have been desperately searching for the right application/service to get my expenses under control. I’ve tried just about everything under the sun; I am fed up with Quicken, Quicken Online, Mint, Mvelopes, etc. etc. etc. I have been so discouraged entering the same data in, creating all the new categories, etc for each new application to find out that it doesn’t really do budgeting. Mvelopes was the closet, but I didn’t care for their interface, it wasn’t compatible with my bank (initially) and the subscription fee really turned me off.
As a Mac user with friends who have really talked up YNAB, I am very excited to hear that the more robust YNAB software is coming to OS X. Now I cannot wait to get my hands on it and finally get a handle on my financial life. Really looking forward to it! I selfishly hope the release is right around the corner!
I’m still waiting…..
Work hard YNAB. There surely are a lot of customers who want to use your product. Thanks in advance.
Let me see….it’ll be here within the next 4 months. So less than 120 days.
Any idea when this will be available?
We have five full-time developers going as fast as we can afford! It will be in 2009. Right now the Budget is being worked on by four of the devs. Taylor was heads down yesterday adding localization.
Can you please hurry! Any update on the release date or month?
Can’t wait! My current software is having compatibility issues with my bank and I need to make a change quick. I really, really want to switch to YNAB but need the Mac version! Any idea when in 2009 we can expect it?
I can’t wait!! I’m a Mac user and am ready to jump when you say jump!!
Hey Jesse! Good luck with the launch of YNAB 3! I’m fully looking forward to it!
