PocketSmith is an online personal finance management tool with some unique features. It features a calendar that allows you to add events, multiple calendars, and forecasts how much cash you will have over the next year. Like other personal finance or budgeting sites, you upload transactions to the site from various accounts and are able to see all your transactions in one place. Combining personal finance budgeting software with calendars and the forecast graph creates a unique view of your money. Instead of focusing on the past, PocketSmith allows you to focus on your future.
