Are you familiar with a cross platform (android/windows) personal information management software with synchronisation option? For the researchers it might be of great help to keep track of time and money spending for smart lifestyle.
Dear Ali Turab Jafry thanks for suggesting a good budget management tool.
@ Ehab Salem ~ in Trello, budget is not related to money but time only and overall it is not about day to day management but project to project based approach.
Please note that looking for a tool which could management both time (tasks/colander) and money (finance) management.
For time and task management I have used GanttProject - it is free, open source project management software. I found it relatively easy to use and it had all the capabilities I needed for time/task management. I have not used it for budget/finance.
