It’s good to step back and ask, is this something I would even want to attend? And what about my friends?īT: I feel that the Mac and iOS community has been so great. Because you get so wrapped up in the minutiae of the event. TMO: That’s always a good question to ask, and it’s an easy question to forget.

Just because I think we can always to a better job there. For example, are you making this a good, welcoming environment for everyone? So those are just things I like to talk about with people. Especially someone who’s running the event. Going to events or community things, one of the things I like to tell people is … be aware of whether this is an inviting environment, some thing that a woman would want to attend. I guess how I think of it is … if I can write about it, tell my story, my experience, if other girls are reading it, or college students, (or me five years ago), maybe they’d be a little more excited or a little bit more comfortable. Like here at WWDC!īT: Not that’s super surprising, but I want to do anything I can to make that better. But when I fell into programming, it felt so extreme. I was working on projects, and there would be fewer women than men. I was in business my first year out of college, working for IBM, with their business consulting services. Now, you have been vocal about women in technology, and it seems like that’s almost another part-time job for you. But most people are importing from their bank’s website. TMO: Can you import data from Quicken, via QIF, I assume?īT: I don’t think all the versions export. You can also import statements that are downloaded in OFX format, which is the most common format - or QIF which is another one. From all your different banks and in one place. Some do charge a small fee for that, and that’s out of our hands.īT: The other thing is that for people who are international and for people whose bank doesn’t support that or they don’t want to pay, we wanted to make sure that it’s not a burden to enter all your information and verify that your bank statement is right every month.
#Senuti program download#
We support Direct Connect so that the user can download from most of the major U.S. Then, are you doing, say, bank integration and all that with Koku as well?īT: Yes. And products that we actually want to use. The whole point of FadingRed was that we wanted to work on … what we wanted to work on. I told him that I’d really like to work on this because personal finance can become so over-complicated and so clunky. Whitney wrote it because he wasn’t happy with any of the other personal finance tools. We were chatting about what we wanted to work on, and Whitney had worked on this project - he was giving it away for free. Was this a reaction to something like … we can’t wait for Quicken? Or was it something like … we can do it better anyway?īT: It was pretty much the latter: we could do better. But they certainly opened the market up for everyone else who ever wanted to write a personal finance app. Obviously Intuit, finally, has a Lion compatible version. We’re a five person team right now.Īfter Senuti, we moved on to our second project which is what I’m working on right now - which is Koku, a personal finance app for Mac.

Then we quit and made FadingRed our full time job instead. We both took other jobs for about a year, and worked on Senuti on the side. TMO: So Senuti was was written Cocoa! I was never sure if that was an AppleScript thing or a full-on Cocoa app.īT: So, Senuti was written in Cocoa! Yeah, it’s basically where I started.īT: Yes. And I think that really launched my involvement in Cocoa and becoming a Mac programmer. And I learned so much from working on that. Most of our customers just had a hard drive crash, and they’d e-mail us asking for help getting their music back. Senuti has been around since 2004, and it’s basically a music recovery tool for your iPhone, iPod. Then we just said, “we should turn this into a business.” We both loved working on Senuti more than anything. That was the first program I got to be involved with. Basically, he made me into the programmer I am now. He actually was the one who taught me everything that I know about Cocoa and Objective-C. And I always had a passion for programming, but I was an industrial engineer and taking computer classes on the side. I met my co-founder, Whitney Young, who’s the original creator of Senuti when we were in college together. At WWDC, Brittany Tarvin, co-founder of FadingRed, told TMO’s Dave Hamilton the story of how she came to quit her day job and become an expert Cocoa developer, helping customers who have lost all their music.ĭave Hamilton: So…I think the best place to start is with what we were chatting about a little while ago, an app called Senuti.īrittany Tarvin: Sure.
