FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Barton Springs Software is pleased to announced the first limited public beta of Prosperity, a new personal finance application for Mac OS X. Prosperity brings users easy tagging, categorization, and management of their financial transactions as well as direct download capabilities from hundreds of financial institutions, all with the traditional ease of use expected on the Mac.
Prosperity features such concepts as:
Sum zero accounting: Prosperity uses double-entry accounting internally, so transactions across all accounts (including payees) are guaranteed to sum to zero. Because of this, you can find out exactly how much was spent with any one bank account or payee across all dates and accounts, instantly.
Direct downloads: By using the standard OFX protocol, Prosperity can download transactions from hundreds of financial institutions without having to leave the application. By supporting the standard QIF and OFX file formats, Prosperity can import transactions from even more financial institutions.
Categories and Tags: Prosperity lets users assign categories to transactions as with most other financial packages. However Prosperity also allows users to supplement standard categories with special keywords called tags. This allows a user to categorize a transaction for what it is as well as add in descriptive tags regarding when, where, or what the transaction was related to such as business, home, a specific vacation, or any other grouping.
.Mac integration: Prosperity can backup and restore documents with the iDisk service if a user has a subscription to Apple’s .Mac service. The user can then later restore the backup document and continue working.
Any Mac user can sign up for the Public Beta simply by visiting the company website and sending in a simple application.
Prosperity requires Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, or Mac OS X 10.5.1 or later.
