3clickBudget is a very basic personal finance manager. It allows you to input data about your money movements so that you can always be on top of your finances. The graphical user interface is very plain. When you first install the application, you see the list with your current transactions along with some information about each of them. For each transaction, you can specify type, amount, category/account, and description. There are three types of transactions: income, expense, and transfer. The application automatically deducts expenses from your total income and displays an account balance on the bottom-right part of the interface.
Adding transactions is very easy. Simply input your transaction information and amount at the bottom of the application and click on "Add". The new transaction will be added to the list above. 3clickBudget supports reports, which show all your transaction categories and their outstanding balances for the last few months.
Perhaps the statistics is the best part of this little app. It shows graphics of your spending throughout time.
All in all, 3clickBudget provides a good way to keep track of personal finances, and it is definitely better than using a spreadsheet. But I believe the developers don't really offer good support for their application. One proof of this is the fact that the installation file, that you can download from the website, has to be renamed, so that its file extension would be .msi instead of .exe. Otherwise, it won't work. There haven't been any updates for over a year, and for such price, I think, you can probably find something more up-to-date.
