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 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.
Introducing CheckBook 2, your powerfully simple personal finance manager.
The Basics
More than you'd expect from 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.
-
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 just about anything.

-
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.
-
Import the kitchen sink
Strong support for OFX, QFX, QIF, CSV, and Text means you and your bank will surely speak the same language.

I was using Microsoft Money for 15 years. Money was a very good program. I recently switch from Windows to Mac and needed a new checkbook program. Yes, I balance my checkbook every month! No problem importing by Money database. After a little learning cutve, I'm extreaming happy with the program. You can make nice summary reports too.
“Excellent Quicken Replacement”

Excellent Quicken Replacement

Easy to use and everything needed for cashflow managment. Really exhausted by the annuity revenue model being hosited upon us like an on going tax payment. I was on quicken 2010 when intuit terminated the ability to backup the registers. So now I use Checkbook!
