Looking for a Mint alternative that actually looks ahead?

If you used Mint, you already know the shape of the problem: Intuit shut it down in 2024, pointed everyone toward Credit Karma, and a lot of people lost years of categorized transaction history with limited notice. That experience — losing your financial history to one company's product decision — is exactly why NeverRunShort is built the way it is: your data lives on your device by default, and you can export a full JSON or CSV backup any time, so no single shutdown decision can take your history with it again.

Mint tracked the past. NeverRunShort forecasts what's next.

Mint (like most of its mainstream successors) was a retrospective tool — categorized spending, monthly reports, a net-worth number. NeverRunShort starts from a different premise: it lines up every account, bill, and paycheck you enter on a day-by-day timeline going 30, 90, or 180 days forward (1-2 years on Premium), and tells you the specific date a specific account is projected to go negative — before it happens, not after you've already reviewed last month's spending.

No bank-linking, by design

Mint required connecting your bank accounts through a data aggregator. NeverRunShort doesn't — you enter your accounts and balances yourself, which takes a few minutes up front. In exchange, there's no third-party aggregator connection to break, go stale, or get shut down out from under you.
