How Secure is this producy ? and How safe / honest is the company ?

Your're basically, putting all private information into a software program
What is the background of this company?
Do they have any way to access my information over the internet ?

Can I trust LttleFin and Chronicle

Thanks - Dave

Hi Dave, while I don't have specific knowledge of the inner workings of this particular program, I can tell you usually it would not "phone home." All data that you put in would reside on your computer, and so it would be safer than e.g. on a website/cloud that has servers vulnerable to hackers.

Somebody from LittleFin should be able to verify, but I am almost certain sensitive information would not be transmitted over the internet. If anything, it should only be anonymous data to help them with bugs and crashes.

Hi Dave,

Chronicle doesn't have access to any of your information. It doesn't transmit anything about you or any of your data. :)

Everything is stored locally on your computer.

I wasn't even looking for this product, but the moment I found it I knew it's what I've been needing for years.

Chronicle is so elegant in its simplicity, yet it gives me the information I need with no wading through (as one apples/oranges example) Quickbooks labyrinthine system. I'm just done with Intuit's klunky software anyway, but to find this useful little gem in a sea of other options was truly a gift.

Leopard incompatibile? This MacUpdate page says version 4.1.2 is OK for Leopard - BUT the Developer's site says it is NOT compatible with Leopard (i.e., Developer's website says "System Requirements: Chronicle requires Mac OS X Snow Leopard or greater, and is Snow Leopard compatible. Leopard Users: Chronicle 3 is available and still supported for those using Leopard.").

Orbit,

The currency is now based on your default currency setting. You can change the currency setting by going to System Preferences, and clicking on Language & Text, and then clicking on the "Formats" tab. At the bottom you will see the option for changing the currency. I hope that helps!

I would like to have a field for entering the data that a bill was received. Also, the ability to disable the income feature would be nice.

A very nice app. My only complaint about it is that you have to enter a sum total for your income, which in my case is multi-faceted and changing each month as I am not on a regular salary at the moment.

It would be nice if you could add income in a piecemeal fashion with notes to indicate what each component is. I envisage a drop down sheet similar in structure to Apple's find dialogues. You have a field to enter the value, a field to say where it comes from (e.g. salary, freelancing, gift, interest, one-off payment, etc.) and plus/minus buttons to add or remove more rows. Then the app sums the total for you. Some record of your income per month would then be needed (e.g. a graph showing income versus outgoings over the course of the year).

Perhaps, as well as bills, it could also be used to track non-recurring costs as well.

We just bought Chronicle via Mac Apps for our iMac, I believe ours is the 3.5.0 version. Besides the addition of Compartments are there any differences between the two versions (3.5.0 and 3.50(2 or 3?) in the way of options, extras or settings? My boyfriend and I would both like to use this app separately but we can't find anything that seem to relate to creating another "account". We both have our finances separate so this app so far is only being used by me. I think I am regretting making my purchase via Apple. I had no idea there was a bigger and better version from Little Fin... Thanks!

Misty—Thanks for your purchase! The only difference is that the menu bar extension is not availble in the Mac App Store version, because of App Store guidelines. However, we are going to release a special version of the menu bar for the Mac App Store, so you will be able to get those features.

Please feel free to e-mail me at support@littlefin.com, and I can help you get set up so you and your boyfriend can use Chronicle separately. There are a couple different options.

Chronicle is an excellent App that has enabled me, once and for all to control my Bills and no longer have any suprises. I particularly like the way Chronicle also puts my future bills into my Calender.

Sorry about that! Some people did have problems. It should be fixed in 4.0.2 (check for updates in Chronicle and it should come up).
