Microsoft Money was discontinued in 2009, and Money Plus Sunset still runs but stopped getting updates years ago. If what you liked was the desktop habit, Tabrax brings it back on modern Windows without trying to copy every old feature.

A Microsoft Money Alternative for Today's Windows
Tabrax brings back the desktop budgeting habit Microsoft Money gave you, on modern Windows, without trying to be a clone.
What carries over from Microsoft Money
The desktop-first feel. You open an app on your PC, see your finances in one place, close it when you're done.
Local data. Microsoft Money kept everything in a .mny file on your machine. Tabrax keeps everything in a local database, with a JSON backup you can export.
Manual control. You decide what each transaction is, where it goes, and how it's categorized.
What is different in Tabrax
No investment tracking, no online banking sync, no .mny import. Money tried to do almost everything; Tabrax stays on expenses, income, and budgets.
That smaller scope is the point. Setup is faster, the app is calmer, and there's nothing to maintain online.
