Just came across Rudder. (http://www.rudder.com) It looks pretty sweet. i just signed up for it and i am pretty impressed with it so far.
What i like so far:
Email notification: if only all online banks had this
Detailed Spend lists: im not sure about your bank, but my banks online system is pretty complicated to read. Rudder has a very simple, almost to simple, layout with actual dates and $ spent
Whats left: shows you how much $ you have and when your next payday is.
What im not so keen on:
No email conformation to set up account: for some reason i like having to click a link to activate my account, that way i know its going to the right email
Once your signed in all your data is on one page: i wish i could select my recent activity and see the "whole" purchase. (ex, this is what is shown: "Pos Purchaseblack`S ...")
Mac interface in Safari is literally "off": i noticed that the actualy click links were positioned to the right of the actual spot where they are suppose to be.
What other sites are saying:
Rudder
While Rudder might look similar to Mint at first, this personal finance tool has a very different focus. While Rudder also aggregates your banking and credit card accounts, it does not focus on analyzing your past spending habits in the way Mint does. Instead, its focuse is on the letting you know how much money you still have to pay your monthly bills. One of the great advantages of Rudder is that it sends all your updates to your inbox, so that you don't even have to log in to the service to keep up to date.
Rudder debuted at this year's DEMOfall conference in San Diego and, given the current economic situation, couldn't have launched at a more opportune time. Rudder also features a large number of useful finance planning tools and a great mobile site.

Now Ms. Troutt manages her finances entirely online, using Rudder, a free Web application. It analyzes her daily and monthly expenses and sends email updates that detail how much money she should spend per day. She likes the application for its simplicity and intuitive Web design, she says.
