We’ve dugg our feet in (har har) and braced for onslaught as we’ve reached the front page of Digg with:
Mac “Quicken-Killer” Receives Impressive GUI Update
Thank you all for the support. We’ve already posted the 0.4 notes and info in the forums. If you missed it:
Features Added
• Major interface changes
• Details pane is now on the right ala “Delicious Library”
• Initial Deposit can now hold files and now shows the name of the account associated
• Negative starting balance is now accepted
• Registration menu now added
• Many performance enhancements
• You can now double click to edit a transaction
Bugs Fixed
• White overlay now respects “Use Interface” preferences option
• Auto-fill contacts now looks through company names
• “New” menu items now work properly
• You can now delete transactions and vaults with the delete button
• Fixed auto-completion bugs
If you think we’re going to relax, you’re wrong. We’re ARE called Midnight Apps. Time for a Starbucks run!
I’d seriously jump all over this IF I just knew that at SOME point in the near future you would be supporting the importing of .qfx (or that open format) from banks. It would AWESOME if it could download those banks statements IN the actual app (unlike iBank). THANKS!
QIF will be in the next version FOR SURE :)
Great to hear that QIF is on the map for the near future. Any chance we’ll see OFX (http://www.ofx.net/ofx/default.asp) as well?
Any timelines on when the import csv, qif features will be enabled?
While I love this app (I have to since I bought it :P) I think it was a mistake to call it “quicken-killer” at this point. I agree that it’s nice, and the interface update was great, but it’s by no means a quicken-killer. Not yet anyway.
Welcome Cha-Ching! We’re long overdue for a usable Mac app in this space. (Nope. Quicken for Mac doesn’t cut it. In fact, Quicken is the last Windows app I still use.) If you can have the following features by the time you have a 1.0 release, I’ll gladly thrown down $50 for a copy.
-Importing from Quicken (for Windows).
-One-click auto-updating from banks, credit card companies, investment firms, etc. using OFX. In other words, I click one button, and Cha-Ching fetches the latest transactions and balances from *all* of my institutions (that support OFX) in one easy step. (Sorry. QIF is too manual and way old-school. It’s OFX or nothing for me.)
-Simple reports. For example…
-How much have I spent on category x over the past n days?
-What is my ROI year-to-date for investment x?
-etc.
Good luck!
