Miscellaneous user interface adjustments. 2.3.1 Nov 30, 2011. Pondwater2001, Basic functions good, weak interface This app is my basic checkbook and credit card tracker, replacing the feature-rich, but aged Budget. Checkbook's functionality is above average, and the reconciling routine is a great virtue — well done on that! Checkbook accomplishes the basics but lacks simple things I need, such as ability to drag and drop a mis-entered item from one account to another. General interface is polished only to a basic level. For example, all data is on one line like a plain spreadsheet, but two lines per entry might be easier to read.
When tabbing through an entry, the tabbing skips by a drop-down menu - it would be so much smoother to tab to the menu and use arrows, etc. Before tabbing along. My least favorite trait of Checkbook is that your most recent item is colored very strangely in white text, boldface, with black shadow on a gray background. For me, that is hard to read and disjointed in appearance. Default as you wish, but please give users the option to customize the recently entered item.
Kudos for allowing different shades of color for credit or debit items. Overall, Checkbook beats competing app Savings for functionality, especially reconciling, but falls short of the outstanding Savings interface. At the present, I am sticking with Checkbook and hoping it will grow into a great mix of strong functionality and interface excellence.
Developer Response, Hello there, and thank you for taking the time to reach out! We can help you set your Mac to tab to those menu buttons and also show you how to move Entries between Accounts, and then go over the other items you're interested in.
To tab between just about everything, not just fields, you'll want to turn on your Mac's Full Keyboard Access feature. Go to the Apple menu at the top left corner of your screen, click the System Preferences. Menu item to reveal the System Preferences window, click the Keyboard icon, click the Shortcuts button at the top of the window, then click the All controls button toward the bottom left corner of the window. Unlike its big brother, CheckBook Pro, CheckBook isn't set up to allow drag and drop - but it does know how to copy and paste. So if you create an Entry and want to move it to another Account, you can use the Edit menu to copy it, go to the desired Account and paste it, then return to the original Account and remove it. We'll look at teaching CheckBook how to do this like CheckBook Pro. The selected Entry coloring issue you mentioned should only come up when the list of Entries isn't in 'focus' - when you've clicked away from it on the list of Accounts, for example.
When you directly click an Entry and continue to move about the list your selecdtion should be highlighted with your Mac's selection coloring, though it's possible that's been set to a light enough grey on your Mac that it's a touch uncomfortable to read. We're looking at treating the list of Accounts, in particular, as something that doesn't remove focus from the list of Entries, so the coloring doesn't change the way you've noticed. That'd minimize the times you find the selected Entry highlighted in grey, as well. Exploring ways to display more than a single line per Entry while still providing the same level of 'findability' as a straight table layout is also on our to-do list. We hope we've helped and that you keep in touch at [email protected] if you need anything going forward.

Turtledi, It is everything I need I had been using Quicken for 17 years and was getting rid of my PC for a MacBook and needed a good checkbook app. I tried several on the iPad but had not been able to find one that did all I need it to do. Until now of course. Checkbook is perfect.
It is easy to set up and enter all the deposits and debits. You can customize reports which is big for me because I like to be able to see what the balance is in any given category. This option is what was lacking in the last app.
![]()
You can customize the look of your register. You can set up recurring transactions, even deposits, which is another big thing for me. The font is tiny when you first open the app but I quickly found how to change all that as well as changing up the columns and the order of them to suit my needs. At the moment I don’t think I want for anything with this checkbook. I’m happy with it.

I adjusted to it well coming from other applications and I have used it now for a year and continue to appreciate it’s professional quality. The only hard part for me was figuring out how to balance it for the first time and not always understanding some of the financial vocabulary used (i.e. What’s a “split?”I eventually figured it out but it was a mystery to me for awhile). I have had to make a consistent monthly adjustment since my first balance because I couldn't sync it with the dates of my bank statement.
Not the app’s problem and I would highly recommend it to any other “typical/average” person who wants to keep track of their account without linking into a bank acct. Directly for security concerns.
