While I looked at the software, I found no reference that it would allow me to connect to my Japanese banks or Japanese credit cards. Am I missing something in their webpage. Can someone point me to the site where this information is detailed? Does it accept Japanese language?
The Moneytree referred to in this thread is an app for iOS or Android:

I used the app to connect to the various services, but I then reconcile the entries from the website (keyboard and large screen) once a month.

Like others though, I monitor my overall financial health using a spreadsheet, I find that Moneytree is useful, once a year, to spot where I should/could optimize my spending.

Money tree is also great to share with a spouse.

Share a single account, and add all relevant bank and credit card accounts. It give you snapshot of your current cash balance, but not investments. (Which is good, it`s not healthy to check those daily)
