CheckBook
Powerfully simple personal finance manager for macOS
"Where does all my money go?" A paper check register can't categorize your transactions or report cash flow over time, and it'll never balance itself. Medieval torture devices like Quicken® are crammed so full of features you don't need that they're actually painful to use. What you really need is a friendly personal finance tool that gets the basics just right and keeps things simple. That's where we come in.
Meet CheckBook.
Your powerfully simple personal finance manager.
The Basics
Expect more than your average personal finance manager.
-
Find your Entries
Search options help you find whatever you're looking for and customize your workflow. It's a breeze to show transactions with a specific category or amount, to see everything for last month or a custom date range, or to hide all but your unreconciled transactions.
-
Reconcile to the penny
Balance your accounts at will with a streamlined reconciliation workflow. Enter your statement ending balance, mark transactions as cleared, whittle your unreconciled total down to zero, and you're done.
-
Schedules your way
Second and fourth Wednesday of every month? Not a problem. Third Sunday of every other month? Why not? If you can imagine it, you can schedule it.
-
Budget with ease
Set Budget Goals and track your progress daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Set Budget Goals and track your progress daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. You can even set custom targets for each month. It doesn’t get any easier than this.
-
As many accounts as you need
Create one, ten, or even a thousand accounts. CheckBook doesn’t mind. And if you need multiple documents to separate accounts for different people, activities, or organizations? Oh yeah, you can do that too.
-
Split transactions
Assign bits of the same transaction to different categories, with per-line item details like tax-deductibility, and let CheckBook keep track of how much went or came from where. Perfect for credit card payments or splitting out fees and taxes.
-
Reports galore
Track cash flow over time with customizable reports so you can see where your money came from and where it's going. View your reports onscreen, print to paper, or create a PDF to archive or share.
-
Transfer between accounts
Debit from one account and deposit into another without creating two separate transactions. Changes in one account automatically show up in the other.
-
Work in your favorite currencies
Each account has its own currency and every document has a base currency so your reports and totals just make sense.
Bring on the Data
Import the kitchen sink.
-
Migrate from Quicken®
Create documents from Quicken for Mac 2015 or later, Quicken Essentials for Mac, or QIF/QMTF documents exported from older versions of Quicken or other personal finance managers and CheckBook will set up your accounts for you.
-
Kitchen sink, indeed
Strong support for OFX, QFX, QIF, CSV, and Text means you and your bank will surely speak the same language. Drag an export from your bank to your CheckBook document window and let those transactions roll in.
