  • Drag & drop statement files right to the Entry or Reconcile lists to get down to importing without going through the File > Import menu.
  • Learn a few new keyboard shortcuts in Entry and Schedule sheets so you can switch between Deposit/Debit, Split, Notes, and Schedule with the flick of your fingers instead of moving your hand all the way to the mouse and back: Command (⌘) 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
  • The Escape key and Command (⌘) Period (.) now revert to the last value you entered into a split line item field, more in line with how a spreadsheet works and, perhaps, your expectations.

New in CheckBook 2.7.24 (Aug 3, 2023)

  • New:
  • Get more insight into your reconciliation with the new Reconcile Info popover. Totals for Entries you’ve resolved since your last reconciliation make it even easier to track down differences with your bank or credit card statements.

  • Fixed:
  • Prevents a crash you might see when clicking the menu button in To, From, Description, or Category boxes.
  • The calendar view in date pickers now lets you double-click to select a date and dismiss the calendar view, so you won’t need to click the OK button or click outside the view.

  • Entry detail menus now show just the items that match what you’re typing. Only remember part of an item name? No problem - type in the smidge you know and the menu shows items that start with or contain that smidge. To go back to showing all items, no matter what you type, go to the CheckBook menu, click Preferences…, click the Entry button at the top of the window, and look for the Show All Items In To/From, Category, and Description Menus checkbox near the bottom of the window.
  • We’ve returned to hiding split line items by default, but that behavior’s up to you: Go to the CheckBook menu, click Preferences…, click the Entry button at the top of the window, and look for the Expand Entries After Splitting checkbox near the bottom of the window.

  • Includes the usual minor user interface fixes and adjustments.

New in CheckBook 2.7.17 (Apr 24, 2023)

  • Includes assorted minor user interface adjustments.

  • Corrects an issue with Speaking Entries that could lead to the wrong date being read aloud in some cases.
  • Restoring the selection in Entry and Reconcile as you switch Accounts is now significantly faster.
  • Using the arrow keys in a date picker so the year changes, like when you arrow on the day and go from 12/31/2022 to 1/1/2023 or the other way around, will now update the date picker's calendar view.

  • Welcome the new Transfer button, near the top left of the Entry section. It’s easier than ever to start a new transfer between your Accounts.

  • Fixed:
  • A column header got left out when exporting the current search results or all of your Accounts at once to Text or CSV. Everything lines up now.
  • Since version 2.7.7, the Date Created and the behind the scenes data for tracking duplicates when you import were not properly saved for some Entries. 2.7.9 updates your documents so the Date Created is correct and duplicate detection will work during future imports.
  • Also since version 2.7.7, newly-created Schedules could end up repeating daily. If you've gone back and made changes to these Schedules after creating them they’re already behaving as expected. 2.7.9 fixes any remaining Schedules created since 2.7.7 that you haven’t already changed.

New in CheckBook 2.7.7 (May 11, 2022)

  • New:
  • To, From, and Description boxes can now ask if you want to update the case for a previously entered item as you’re typing. You’ll see the option when the menu of previously entered items is visible, but if you want to see it as you’re typing without the menu head to CheckBook > Preferences… > Entry and put a checkmark next to Ask To Update To/From & Description Items near the bottom of the window
  • Notes are now part of Text and CSV exports.
  • The Preferences… > Grid Color color panel will now show the Opacity slider so you can make grid lines in Entry lists disappear completely.
  • Fixed:

New in CheckBook 2.7.6 (Apr 8, 2022)

  • New:
  • Splitting your Entries just got a lot easier: You can now copy and paste split line items. Select a range of line items with a Shift-click and add or remove line items from the selection with a Command (⌘)-click.

New in CheckBook 2.7.5 (Feb 27, 2022)

  • New:
  • For our keyboard warriors out there: Tab to a menu button, like the Type button in each Entry, start typing, and get results almost instantly instead of waiting the achingly slow 1-second default.

  • Fixed:
  • Corrects an issue that could prevent error messages from appearing in a handful of situations.

  • Fixed:
  • Zaps a glitch that would prevent Accounts from appearing immediately after creating a new document from QIF, Quicken Essentials for Mac, or Quicken for Mac 2015-2017 documents.

  • If you’ve ever lost a column past the right edge of the window by stretching other columns, or accidentally turned off a column or two and aren’t sure how you did it, head to the View menu, down to the Columns submenu, and give the new Gather Columns and Reset Columns… features a try. Gather Columns tries to squeeze all of your visible columns so they fit in the window without forcing you to scroll.
