The popular budgeting app Mint is shutting down, leaving about 3.6 million customers in search of another way to track their spending.

Intuit, the company that owns Mint, is encouraging users to migrate to Credit Karma, a credit-focused app that Intuit owns. But so far, Credit Karma doesn’t offer the budget-setting tools that Mint provided, and it’s unclear what features will be added in the future.
