CheckBook Pro overview

CheckBook Pro is more than a basic check register and reporting tool: it features everything in CheckBook, our powerfully simple personal finance manager, and then some. Get a report for all of your accounts at once. Search for transactions with any combination of criteria. Group your transactions into folders. Change the details of any number of transactions in a single stroke. CheckBook Pro's simply powerful data management tools make it all just plain easy.

Basic Features
  • 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
    • Budget with ease, tracking your progress against budget goals for any category
    • Set up as many accounts as you need
    • Split transactions with per-line item details like categories and tax-deductibility
    • Track cash flow over time with customizable reports so you can see where your money came from and where it's going
    • Transfer between accounts without creating two transactions, so you do the work once, not twice
    • Manage accounts in your favorite currencies
  • Import from other personal finance apps or your bank:
    • Strong support for OFX, QFX, QIF, CSV, and Text
    • Import from Quicken Essentials for Mac
  • Share and sync your data:
    • Sync with other users on a local network
    • Sync with iCloud Drive
Pro Features
  • Save complex searches as Smart Folders so you can search again and again
  • Group your transactions into folders, to tidy up or begin a new year
  • Quickly change the details for a group of transactions, instead of one at a time
  • Report on all your accounts at once
  • See pending scheduled transactions for all your accounts with a single reminder
  • Save some ink strokes and let CheckBook Pro print your checks for you (pre-printed check paper only)

What’s new in version 3.0.1

New Features
  • Now you can choose light mode or dark mode right inside CheckBook Pro: Go to CheckBook Pro > Settings… and look for Appearance under your color settings, near the top of the window.
Fixes
  • Prevents a crash that can occur when you dismiss the Schedule Reminder.
  • Nixes a glitch that could lead to a hang in the To, From, and Description boxes.
  • Corrects a mistake in Summary that could lead to incorrect subtotals.
  • Corrects a layout error in Summary that could prevent some subtotals from drawing.
  • Restores support for using the Enter key to click the OK button in Entry sheets.
  • Corrects an issue that could prevent dragging by the window background after resizing the Accounts sidebar.
Changes
  • The Accounts sidebar now behaves more like the Accounts drawer in CheckBook Pro 2, expanding away from your columns instead of covering them.
  • Future Entries can now be full-intensity, if you so choose: Go to CheckBook Pro > Settings… and slide the Future Entries slider, above the checkboxes near the bottom of the window, all the way to the right.

Features: 5.0

I only wish on split entries I could put in a total first and then do the individual entries like on Quicken. When doing a lot of items this would make things easier.

Checkbook Pro is a great app, very user friendly and not overpriced. Have used this for about 2 years and have had no issues at all. Yearly reports for taxes are simple to set up and to pull info from. Highly recommend this fantastic app.

I've been using Checkbook Pro for a few years now and it's the best fit for my needs. I like keeping everything local. My use is quite simple but lately I've started exploring more features and love it even more. Highly recommended.

I have used CheckBook Pro for several years. Support has been amazing, prompt and knowledgeable. After years of using Quickbooks at work Checkbook Pro was easy to learn and and at a reasonable price point.
