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 2.7.17

Updated on Apr 25 2023

  • CheckBook now automatically enters decimal separators while you type in amount fields. It’s a preference, though, so you can turn it off any time: go to the CheckBook menu, click Preferences…, and look for the Amount Fields: Automatically Enter Decimal Separator checkbox. This release also prevents a potential issue leading to incorrect dates in the Schedule > Next Entry Date column and includes assorted minor user interface adjustments.

Simple, effective app that does everything I need to collate information for my accountant to complete the HMRC return. I've been using it for years and really happy with it.

I purchased CheckBook several years ago but continued to use Quicken 2017. I refused to upgrade to renting software and when Quicken quit allowing one to import data from my bank finally decided it was time to move on. CheckBook imported my data flawlessly. It took a few days to learn the keyboard shortcuts but now the app seems natural. Some things I love about it. It allows me to change the fonts to a larger size which is helpful for my older eyes. I can store it in iCloud and be able to use the file from my laptop and desktop. Very well pleased.

I've been using Splasm's CheckBook for years now. Across 4 new Macs over the years, I've had no problem importing a previous back up to the new install; it picks up right where I left off from there. It's easy to use and gets the job done quickly and efficiently. Keep up the great work and I'll keep using it indefinitely.

Excellent, rock solid program in all respects, been using it for well over 12 years. Smooth, intuitive, easy to configure the way you want your register to look like. And don't get me started on their support, virtually instant responses to all my questions, very professional and understanding.

I've been using CheckBook for about 6 years; does everything I need & never a problem. Easy-to-use interface, much easier to reconcile than my old paper/pencil/calculator method. I wouldn't mind a more obvious way to edit the selectable dropdown entries in the Description & To/From fields, but I may be overlooking something that's already there.

I started using CheckBook just a few months ago after purchasing a iMac. I have been an avid Windows user. Looking for a program to keep my checkbook on the iMac was challenging to say the least. This is better than any program I used on my Windows computers! It's so easy!

I have been using CheckBook since 2010. In that time I've had to contact Splasm only about 3 times and on every occasion have received a personal, prompt and helpful reply that resolved the issue that I had. This product is very simple to use, and does everything that one would need for keeping an eye on home finances and investments. I really wouldn't use anything else.

I have been using CheckBook since 2011 and it has been flawless. It has never crashed, has a very affordable perpetual license, and you receive regular updates. It is very easy to use and manage and when I had an issue with upgrading my macOS, customer support was responsive immediately with spot-on assistance. I use it simply as a checkbook and the search engine for past transactions always finds what I am looking for. The only area that could use improvement are the reports (summary section). I don't use those often, but they are clumsy and disorganized. If that is important to you, I think there is a Pro version that I have never tried out.

Great! Easy to use. I have been using CheckBook since July 2019 when my old electronic check program was no longer going to be updated. It is just an electronic checkbook register that is accurate, simple to use and doesn't cost much. It is not a subscription and it is the BEST!!!!

I've been using Checkbook for about a month now. It works great! The transition from Quicken was seamless. I imported 20 years of data without a hitch. I went from PC to Mac. If you are thinking about making a switch, don't hesitate. You will be amazed and wonder why you didn't do it sooner. One of the best things is, you are not paying monthly and it is not on the cloud! Also, the customer service is top notch. The response has been the same day. Sometimes within minutes.

I've been using CheckBook for several years and have found it to be flexible, easy to use, and the customer support excellent. I've also tried to provide a review a few times, but the MacUpdate form is badly out of date and largely irrelevant. I don't need anything improved on this app, and that's all MacUpdate seems to want. So this "old fashioned comment" will do instead. If you want a straight-forward, easy to use app to keep track of your checking accounts, this is all you need. I use it for personal as well as several non-profits I manage funds for.

I tried posting a review but couldn't because there was nothing I could think of that needed to be improved. Unfortunately, that's not a valid choice with the review software and needs to be fixed. As far as Checkbook is concerned, I used Quicken for years and it was OK but became strange, unfriendly and clumsy with later updates. I looked for other software to keep track of my accounts and tried Checkbook. There was a short learning curve, which I really appreciated, and the features suit my needs perfectly. Checkbook doesn't do everything Quicken did but it does do everything I need it to do and it does it very well. I highly recommend Checkbook if you're looking for a good piece of software.

Excellent app. Does everything I need to do in terms of various accounts. The on thing that I would like to be able to do that it does not presently do: directly edit memorized "AutoCompletion Description Fields."

I've been using CheckBook since 2009 and it's always been reliable and resourceful. It's been an invaluable tool for budgeting expenses, and when looking to verify if an expense has been paid, or not. Also helpful for when doing our tax returns.
