Ratface Studios today released Cashcow 1.0, a personal finance application designed specifically for users looking to create budgets and track expenses. "There are plenty of software packages on the market today but they try to manage every aspect of your finances," Ratface Studios said. "Cashcow focuses on managing a budget and tracking your spending and as a result it's much simpler and useful for those who just want to manage their spending." Cashcow avoids accounting concepts and tedious tasks like reconciling transactions, simplifying the process of keeping records up to date. The software is priced at $50, and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

Cashcow 1.0 enables users to import as well as export QIF and CSV files, and offers powerful search functionality. Localized dates accompany clearly written documentation with video tutorials, which ease the learning process and reduce the time required to begin using Cashcow.

"Cashcow is ideal for those who need to get their spending under control or those who want to save a few extra dollars."
