Personal Finance software for the Mac?

Supercow · 11 Sep 2008 at 10:02

Are there any simple-to-use PF software available for the mac, that does not require you to be an accountant?
Really looking to start managing my, and my wife's, finances ,much better.

Is everyone just using excel or does such a proggy exist?

quick google

Money 3.0.3 appears to fit your description.

Balance is a free version

I'm aware of such wonders as Google - go figure.
Maybe I should have asked more clearly.

Are any of you using Personal Finance software on your Macs, I'm interested in your personal experiences.

I've tried MoneyWell but it seems to be a bit buggy.

Stick with Excel.

I would recommend Checkbook.

I searched around a few months back but found nothing suitable for me. MS Money via Parallels was my eventual "solution"

I use Cha Ching. http://www.midnightapps.com/

I have not looked at the new Beta. I use the old one and it works fine for my use. I download statements straight from my bank, tag them etc and thats about it. The software does do more, and the new one is meant to be good.

iBank is another but I have not used.

iBank. It is what I use after I ditched Quicken 2007.

I use Personal Accountz.

An Excel spreadsheet here.

I use Cha-Ching since it came with the MacHeist bundle. Didn't really think much of it at first but now it's been really helpful. Really easy to use too.

I use Personal Accountz. A UK based company, and very responsive to help requests.

It also has one of the best data entry formats going. I have tried most of the Mac account programs but found data entry very frustrating in all but this one.

I use Personal Accountz too

Move all the windows into the same tab, turn off the toolbars and you are left with your data only and everything visible so you have the quick data entry and all the balances and you never need to switch windows again e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNCRGWpsy8E

I tried a few different ones, Personal Accountz, Cha-Ching, iBank, in the end I just decided to use Numbers.
