![]() ![]() Stop living paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt and save more money. Heck, even this Reddit page is in Dark Mode in my Chrome browser.Free personal accounting software designed for ease of use for finance and budget management. Which I find to be just a bunch of BS because almost every other software product had dark mode back when High Sierra introduced it two years ago and even if it is difficult to do, they should just do it. When the head of the development team was just asked why not, his response was (get this) "it's difficult to do and takes a lot of work". They still haven't implemented Dark Mode yet. PS Just an aside and an example of Quicken Mac's development team. It just depends on your exact particular needs are. Like I've said, either Banktivity or Quicken Mac will probably do what users need in personal finance software. Who needs a printed pie chart? It's a waste of space. And there's no option not to print the pie chart graphs in reports. And there's no option to duplicate the report and make changes in the duplicate. There is no option to save AFTER I've edited the report. But if I want to "tweak" a Banktivity report, it automatically saves the report immediately. The report is memorized anyways in Banktivity. That being said, I think Banktivity's report engine customization is more difficult than Quicken's. And the budget is close to non-sensical in Quicken Mac anyways. In Quicken Mac, I have to manually add items to the budget irregardless of whether I schedule a reminder or not. I have every fixed expense set up in Banktivity (and Quicken Mac) with a reminder. It's clear, concise and if you have bill reminders set up it automatically adds them to the budget without you having to go to the budget and manually add amounts. I can sync from any Mac or device and and additions, deletions or changes will show up in all devices. Except that "back in the day" when Quicken was first started, people only had one PC, multi-user wasn't even an idea and certainly there was no cloud.īut Quicken is woefully stuck in the stone age on many issues.and this is just one of them.īanktivity's sync is a true backup of your data. To me, it makes zero sense why they've done this. Therefore, you can't restore your data file by syncing from one PC to another with Quicken. The data that is synced to the Quicken Cloud is a subset of your actual complete data file for use on their Web or Mobile apps. Quicken's sync process isn't a true sync anyways. Basically, they'll get you the same data reporting in either.Ĭorrect. I don't see a whole lot of difference between the two. So you can try it and see if you like it. Quicken Mac has a 30 day money back guarantee. Most everything else is equal or worse in Banktivity, including the ridiculous subscription price.Ī Quicken Mac subscription also allows you to download and use Quicken Windows for the same price. That plus the mobile app are the two pluses. I like the budget module better in Banktivity than in Quicken Mac. ![]() Banktivity requires you to pay $79 for an annual subscription which includes Direct Access. That gets you downloading from almost all financial institutions plus the mobile apps (both of which are not very good). Quicken Deluxe can be found for $29 on sale at retail outlets for an annual subscription. After all, dark mode has now been available for over two years. IMO, it's just more ineptness from Quicken programmers. Everyone else seems to have created a dark mode with no issues whatsoever. Even the developer states that it's a difficult implementation for them. But there are IRR and ROI calculations for YTD, 1 year, 3 year and 5 year. Everything runs through the portfolio section and you have to print from there. Now, investment reports are another story. I can't imagine any transaction type report (and that includes Net Worth) that you could possibly need that Quicken Mac can't create. It allows for Cash Flow type of reports that can include outside transfers in or out. It will create just about any type of report you can imagine with full customization. The report engine has been totally revamped almost a year ago. I don't know what the other two posters have used.but it's not Quicken Mac. ![]()
