CheckBook 3

CheckBook 3 is a personal finance manager for your Mac, suited to keeping account balances accurate, reviewing spending, and tracking budget goals.

What you get

See where your money goes and keep your accounts balanced.

You get a clearer record of what you earn, spend, and move between accounts. You can categorize purchases, split a single transaction across categories, and reconcile your records against your account statements. When you need to check a payment, you can narrow your search using several criteria.

You can set budget goals and see how your spending compares, then use customizable cash-flow reports to review where money came from and where it went over time. Scheduling recurring bills and paychecks saves you from entering the same transactions repeatedly.

You don't have to start your records from scratch: you can import supported files from your bank or another finance app. You can also keep your document synced through iCloud Drive or share data with other users on a local network.

  • Keep balances accurate

    You can reconcile your records against account statements and track transfers between accounts without entering each side separately.

  • Understand your spending

    You can split purchases into categories and review cash flow over time to see where your money goes.

  • Check your budget progress

    You can compare your spending with budget goals rather than relying on your account balance alone.

  • Reduce repetitive entry

    You can schedule recurring bills and paychecks, and bring in existing transactions from supported bank or finance-app files.

Best for

  • You want to replace a paper check register
  • You need to reconcile several personal accounts
  • You want spending reports and budget tracking

Skip it if

You don't need it if your bank's transaction history already gives you enough detail and you don't reconcile accounts or track budget goals.

From the developer

"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. Other finance apps are like medieval torture devices, so full of features you don't need that they're actually painful to use.
