It's not possible to remove the Check column in CheckBook - yet. This will be possible in CheckBook 2.0, which we are actively developing. Current builds of CheckBook 2.0 already support showing/hiding columns, including the Check column.

We always listen to our users, regardless of their locale, very carefully - though we may not personally answer every suggestion. We appreciate the input our users give to us and spend considerable effort translating that feedback into usable features.
I admit we have not implemented the features to address some feedback as quickly as some users - or we - would have liked. We will answer many, many feature requests in CheckBook 2.0. And believe it or not, CheckBook 2.0 will be here soon.
CheckBook will support multiple currencies. Look for this in either CheckBook 2.0 or a minor maintenance update shortly thereafter.
CheckBook already supports a single, global password. This feature has been available since version 1.5. You can find the interface for the global password in CheckBook's preferences, under the Security tab. The global password is an additional layer of security and does not override per-Account passwords, so if you would like to use it as a single password to unlock all Accounts at once you will need to remove the password from each Account.
As always we appreciate your feedback. You're welcome to discuss your concerns here, or privately with us at
