CheckBook overview

With CheckBook, easily and simply manage your personal checking accounts.

A paper check register can't categorize your transactions or report cash flow over time, and it'll never balance itself. That's where we come in. Introducing CheckBook 2, the powerfully simple personal finance manager.

  • Precisely manage your finances:
    • Find transactions with simple searches or dozens of powerful criteria
    • Reconcile your accounts to the penny
    • Schedule transactions that repeat periodically, like monthly bills and paychecks
    • Track cash flow over time with customizable reports so you can see where your money came from and where it's going
  • Import from other personal finance apps or your bank:
    • Strong support for OFX, QFX, QIF, CSV, and Text
    • Import from Quicken Essentials for Mac or Quicken for Mac 2017
  • Share and sync your data:
    • Sync with other users on a local network
    • Sync with iCloud, when used on OS X Mountain Lion
  • And more:
    • Manage accounts in multiple currencies
    • Transfer funds between accounts without creating two transactions

What’s new in version 2.7.31

  • Category autofill in split line items works again after we broke it in version 2.7.30.
  • We gave the OFX/QFX import feature a tweak so you’ll get better compatibility with a wider variety of transaction files out there.

Ease of use: 4.0

I am still learning to use this app. I was previously using Microsoft Money. My rating has more to do with my ability to learn the features of this app rather than the app itself.

Straightforward, uncomplicated, and uncluttered with minutiae that is largely unnecessary and confusing. It was easy to set up, and it's easy to maintain. Keeping records is something of a chore; Checkbook makes the transition from paper to digital less intimidating and time-consuming.

I really don't think there is anything that needs improvement but I had to pick a box in order to submit my review so I did. I have used other financial apps that basically had too much "things" that I never used. Just caused me a lot to ignore them. Simple CheckBook is for me.

I have used Checkbook for several years and thru several Macs, because I like the simplicity. In November, I got a MacBook AIR and in the migrating process, somehow my checkbook did not completely load. I only had October 2023 instead of the several years I had. I started over and it works, but I do miss the history of my checkbook. I thought it would be in the cloud but I can't find it. And my backups don't seem to work. 5 stars until this issue.
