But if you like the automatic update, and you are interested in mobile access from anywhere, Moneydance can be a great option for keeping track of your finances - including investments. I've never been a fan of that since I prefer to manually enter my information. You can also arrange to have your transactions automatically updated from your financial institutions, by linking accounts. I enter my transactions manually, but it's also possible to update with transactions from your bank, but you have to download them and import them to Moneydance using OFX, QIF, or QFX files). The software looks like a ledger, and that's one of my favorite things about it. It can help you create budgets, stay on top of bills, and view all of your financial accounts from one central dashboard. Moneydance is a personal finance software that's available for Mac, Windows, Linux, and mobile devices. Here's my full comparison between Quicken, Moneydance and Empower. I'm fairly satisfied with Moneydance, and while it isn't as awesome as Quicken 2005, it is the closest thing I've found to it, and I still like it better than the new Quicken for Mac 2017. Even the new Quicken for Mac, doesn't do the trick for me.Īfter poking around a couple years ago, I found Moneydance. I was discouraged with the Quicken Essentials for Mac. However, when I bought another computer in 2012, I discovered that Quicken 2005 was no longer being supported.

When I bought a computer in 2008, it came, pre-installed, with Quicken 2005 for the Mac. It worked well on the Macintosh and had a ledger-looking interface that I loved.
