About Splasm

A little company goes a long way.

Who Is Splasm Software?

Splasm Software began in 1999 as a partnership between Keith Gugliotto and Randy Knoble and incorporated in 2005.

Why the name “Splasm”?

Software is so full of potential. It's a blast to let it grow, organically, above and so far beyond the original vision of its creators. We threw around words like adaptive, organic, primitive, protoplasm - and many more - until splasm popped into mind. It sounded fun and just felt right. It's gooey, primordial, without form - but full of infinite, mind-blowing possibilities. Now it's on the move. Splasm. That's us.

What Does Splasm Software Do?

Splasm Software crafts simple, powerful applications that provide instant value and stay out of the way so users can just get on with it. We develop our products and ourselves organically - allowing, improving, growing. Our ears are open to user feedback, our minds are tightly focused on quality and our hearts are committed to creating time-saving productivity software and, the occasional time-blowing entertainment title, and providing excellent support for our users.

Our Products

From our minds to your fingertips.

CheckBook

"Where does all my money go?" you've asked yourself. You've written it down in your paper check register but it can't sort and categorize your transactions and it will never balance itself. You've tried medieval torture devices like Quicken® but they're so full of features you'll never use that it's actually painful just to enter the raw data.

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. Introducing CheckBook 2, the powerfully simple personal finance manager.

Features

  • Friendly, single-window interface keeps you focused with all major features just a click or two away instead of hiding in menus where you can’t find them.
  • QuickFilter, an advanced search field that turns “those other search fields” on their ear.
  • Account Summaries, customized reports to help you visualize where your money came from and where it’s going.
  • Categories, giving you the power to group your transactions as you see fit for more accurate reporting.
  • Splits, with support for categories in each line item.
  • Transfers between accounts.
  • Printing that works, so you can print all the transactions in a given account, the current filter results or the selected Account Summary.
  • OFX, QIF and CSV/Text import, so you can easily import bank statements or migrate from Quicken and many other personal finance apps.
  • Multiple currency support, including support for transfers between accounts with different currencies.
  • And more!

Audiobook Builder

Traveling to and from work, while exercising, or waiting in line - find your smile in a book with Audiobook Builder!

Audiobook Builder makes it easy to turn audio CDs and files into audiobooks for your iPhone®, iPad®, or other Apple® devices. Join audio, create enhanced chapter stops, adjust quality settings, and let Audiobook Builder handle the rest. When it finishes you get one or a few audiobook tracks in Books, Music, or iTunes® instead of hundreds or even thousands of music tracks!

Features

  • Audio File Joining: Already ripped your CDs to M4A or M4B? Don't suffer through it again. Drag your audio tracks straight to Audiobook Builder. If their audio formats match and they're encoded with a constant bit rate Audiobook Builder can quickly join them instead of re-encoding.
  • Enhanced Chapter Stops: Give your audiobooks that special touch by grouping your audio files into chapters with custom names and artwork. Apple Books and iTunes usually give you controls to move quickly between chapters while playing your audiobooks.
  • Adjustable Quality Settings: Get started with Audiobook Builder's built-in quality presets or customize the audio settings to your personal taste.
  • Music Integration: Drag & drop straight from Music or iTunes to Audiobook Builder and build directly to Books, Music, or iTunes.
  • Quite a memory: Each Audiobook Builder project's audio data is stored in the project document file, so you're free to start a project now, take a break, and return later to finish up. You can even move projects between Macs!

Features

  • Any font, any style. Import an address or type one in. The font, size, style, line spacing and color are up to you.
  • Beautiful built-in images. Choose from a collection of hand-crafted images - and pick accent and background colors for many of them. The possibilities are endless.
  • Choose your own images. Drag & drop any photo or image to add a personal touch to your Labels.
