This looks very neat, thanks for the link.

Seems more targeted towards small businesses/freelancers... wonder if that would make it less ideal for use in a personal finance context.

FWIW I'm happily using a service called 22seven[1] that is backed by a big bank in my country (South Africa). It is super convenient and links to a bunch of different services so you can pull in all your investments etc. to track all at once (of course this means they track you too, but they were doing that before anyhow)... I just don't know for how many years it will stay updated, free, and available for use to people who bank at other banks (such as myself), so I'd like to at least plan for moving to a more open alternative when the time comes.

Looks nice. Does this tool support multiple currencies?
