Copilot Money: The Apple Editor’s Choice Award App for Tracking Your Money — Start Your Free Trial Today [Sponsor]

If you haven’t heard of Copilot Money yet, you’re overdue to check out Apple’s Editors Choice award-winning money tracker app. Copilot makes it simple to monitor your finances while providing personalized insights.

Their native iPhone, iPad and Mac apps are award winning for a reason: you can track your spending, budgets, investments, and net worth all in one place, allowing you to drill into the details without losing sight of the big picture.

Beyond beautiful design and functionality, Copilot’s mission is to build a future where everyone has a clear picture of their finances, without all the anxiety. Where anyone can reclaim their data from the banks to build their own plan for achieving their goals — with confidence and trust in their tools for doing so.

Launching later this month, Copilot Money is adding their #1 most user requested feature to the line-up. Savings Goals will empower you to track the money you’re saving for whatever you choose. Goals will feature smart tips informed by your data, like smart suggestions based on your cash flow, and goal ideas for you based on your categories and spending.

For a limited time, MacStories readers can get a special two-month free trial by using the code MACSTORIES when signing up. Visit their website to learn more and download Copilot from the App Store to get started today.
