The independent revival of Microsoft Money

Remember Microsoft Money?

It's back — in your browser. The account register, the cash-flow forecast, the bills calendar: rebuilt the way you remember them, plus the one thing Money never had — banks that sync themselves.

VisualMoney home screen: favorite accounts with balances, bills and deposits list, spending-by-category chart, and reminders — in the classic Microsoft Money layout

Real screens from the current build — not mockups.

The reason people switch

Your Microsoft Money file is not a dead end.

Most “Money replacements” make you re-enter years of history by hand — or abandon it. VisualMoney reads your real .mny file and brings the ledger with you, so you can keep working the way you already do.

Choose your .mny file

The file is opened and read only on your computer (including MSISAM decrypt in a local browser worker). The original .mny is never uploaded to VisualMoney.

Pick what to bring over

You choose accounts, date range, and bills. Only the selection you approve is sent for import — not the whole file, not accounts you leave unchecked.

Import and keep going

Registers show running balances. Bills land on the calendar. Cash-flow forecast uses the same scheduled series. Then work day-to-day like before.

What comes across from Money

  • Accounts with opening balances and live running balances
  • Full transaction history — payees, amounts, categories, memo
  • Transfers linked between accounts when both sides import
  • Bills & scheduled deposits with due dates and frequencies
  • Cash-flow forecast driven by the same schedule you had in Money

Privacy first

Your .mny file never leaves your device. Decrypt and parse run in the browser. Only the accounts and activity you explicitly select are imported into your VisualMoney ledger.

No retyping, no blank-register restart — import what you want, verify balances, keep working, and add bank sync later if you choose.

Opening the box

Everything you remember. Plus a way in from Money.

We rebuilt the Money workflow feature by feature, then added what the last twenty years made possible — including a direct path from your old .mny file.

Planning → Forecast cash flow

See your balance 90 days from now.

Money's signature trick, faithfully rebuilt. Your scheduled bills and deposits project every account forward, so you know about the tight week in April before it arrives.

Modern budget apps report the past. This one plans the future.

Cash-flow forecast: projected balances for every account charted 90 days ahead, with the scheduled transactions that drive the projection listed below
Account register for Everyday Checking: dated transactions with payee, category, withdrawal and deposit columns, and a running balance

Banking → Account list

A real register, down to the red parentheses.

Every account on one screen: group subtotals, running balances, reconciliation status. Click through to a register built for people who actually read their numbers.

No cards, no carousels, no “insights”. A ledger.

Bills → Bills summary

Bills on a calendar, overdue in red.

Six months of due dates at a glance. Overdue items float to the top and flow straight into your cash-flow forecast — exactly how the original did it.

Payees, categories, frequencies, and the account each bill draws from, all in one dense, sortable table.

Bills summary: scheduled bills and deposits with amounts, due dates, and frequencies, an overdue item flagged in red, and a six-month calendar below

Settings → Sync

Banks sync themselves now.

In 2007 you downloaded OFX files by hand. Now your transactions arrive on their own — and the trust questions have real answers:

  • Your bank password never touches us

    Connections run through Plaid. VisualMoney receives read-only transactions — never your credentials.

  • Your data leaves whenever you do

    Export every register to CSV or OFX in one click. No lock-in, no hostage file formats.

  • No ads. No data mining.

    You pay for the product; that's the whole business model. Nobody else is the customer.

  • Or skip sync entirely

    Manual entry works exactly like 2004. Sync is a convenience, not a requirement. Prefer to start from Money? Import your .mny first, then turn on sync when you want it.

Sync settings: a connected QuickBooks Online provider with three linked accounts and their last-sync timestamps

Pricing

One plan. Every feature.

No tiers, no locked features, no ads, no data mining. You're the customer, not the product.

Fair questions

Before you ask.

Is this Microsoft Money?
No — and we say that with love. VisualMoney is an independent product that rebuilds the Money workflow for the web. Microsoft and MS Money are trademarks of the Microsoft group of companies; VisualMoney is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft.
Can I import my old .mny file?
Yes. Under Settings → Import, choose your Microsoft Money .mny on this computer. The file is decrypted and read in your browser — it is not uploaded as a whole. You pick which accounts and bills to import; only that selection becomes ledger data in VisualMoney. Afterward you can keep entering by hand and optionally connect banks via Plaid for new activity.
Does VisualMoney upload my .mny file?
No. The original .mny stays on your machine. Processing (including decrypt of the Money database format) runs locally in the browser. Only the data you choose to import is written to your VisualMoney account — not unchecked accounts, not the raw file.
Will my balances and bills match Money?
Import is built for parity with Money's own numbers: posted balances (including opening balance), linked transfers when both accounts come along, and bill schedules that drive the forecast. You choose which accounts and bills to import, then verify against Money before you rely on the new ledger day to day.
How safe is bank sync?
Connections run through Plaid, the same service most major financial apps use. Your bank credentials go to Plaid and your bank — never to VisualMoney. We receive read-only transaction data. And if you'd rather not connect anything, manual entry works exactly like the original.
What happens if I cancel?
Your data is yours. Export every account to CSV or OFX first, then cancel self-serve from your billing page. Two clicks, no retention phone call.
Does it work on my Mac?
VisualMoney runs in the browser — Windows, Mac, Linux, anything modern. Nothing to install, nothing to back up onto floppy disks.
How is this different from Mint or YNAB?
Mint shut down in 2024. Most modern apps hide the register behind cards and “insights”, and none of them forecast — or open a real .mny file. VisualMoney is built around the ledger: dense registers, running balances, a cash-flow forecast that looks 90 days ahead, and a direct path from Microsoft Money so you don't start over.
