The MacMoney Difference

Financial Checkup: Your Built-In Financial Advisor

Answer a six-step questionnaire and get a complete, personalized picture of your finances — with direct, written advice about the decision you're actually facing. It was written by a licensed advisory firm — not generated by software — and it's the one thing other personal finance apps don't offer.

How it works

Six quick steps cover you and your household, your income, your monthly spending, what you own, your guaranteed retirement income, and what you owe. Or skip the typing entirely with "Use My MacMoney Input" — it fills the questionnaire straight from your real data.

  • Account balances become your assets, savings & debts
  • 12 months of transactions become your monthly numbers
  • Bills, variable costs & paychecks each computed the way a planner would

What you get

Net Worth

Assets, investments, savings, consumer debt, and mortgage, totaled the way an advisor would present it.

Spending Plan

A pie-chart view of where each month's take-home goes across Fixed Costs, Investments, Savings, and Fun Money, with healthy-range guidance for each.

Fixed Costs

All seventeen expense lines, from rent and groceries to childcare, pets, and family support, with the share of take-home each one consumes.

Retirement Projection

An interactive calculator with sliders for retirement age, monthly investing, and expected return, plus a one-click preset for the contribution that gets you fully funded.

The Checkup's Take

A written assessment generated from your actual numbers — a straight answer to your question, what the numbers say, and a prioritized action plan with real dollar amounts.

It answers the question you're actually asking

Tell the checkup what you're trying to decide, and the assessment addresses it directly. Add a partner, children, or family you support, and the advice adjusts — from your emergency-fund target to whether a second income makes sense.

General Checkup

A full picture of where your finances stand today, no specific decision required.

Retirement Readiness

Your nest egg at multiple ages, and the exact monthly amount that closes any gap.

Starting a Business

How many months of runway your savings buy, and whether quitting is survivable.

A Big Purchase

Pay-cash verdicts, save-per-month plans, and down-payment math for home-sized amounts.

Paying Off Debt

Whether your interest rate beats the market, and the payoff timeline each extra dollar buys.

Protection, built in

When your checkup shows people depending on you, a "Protect What You've Built" card calculates your life insurance coverage target using debt and income management principles, then credits the investments you already hold and compares the result to the policies on file in Protection & Estate. If there's a gap, one click requests a coverage review from Lonestar Business Advisors & Insurance, with your numbers already in hand.

Everything runs locally on your Mac. Answers are never transmitted, and you can revise or reset them anytime. It's an educational tool with transparent assumptions — and for decisions that deserve professional precision, it says so.

It Files Itself

The work other apps send to a server, done on your Mac

Subscription finance apps run rules and detection in their cloud — which means your transactions live there too. MacMoney does the same work on your Mac, with nothing to upload and nothing to leak. The one exception is yours to choose: iPhone Sync, off by default, mirrors your data through your own private iCloud and nothing else.

Rules

When a payee or memo contains your text, set the category, rename the payee, or add a note — applied to imports and new entries automatically.

Recurring Radar

Finds subscriptions in your own history — cadence, annual cost, price hikes, and what quietly stopped charging you.

90-Day Balance Forecast

Projects every cash account against its scheduled bills and flags the exact day one runs short — before it does.

Debt Payoff Planner

Avalanche vs. snowball on your actual balances, with payoff dates and the interest each plan saves.

Bill Reminders

Real notifications before bills are due and policies renew — on your Mac and your iPhone, scheduled on-device, sent by no one.

Automatic Backups

A daily snapshot kept for a week, on by default, with a status card that says when, how many, and whether anything went wrong.

New — iPhone Companion

Your Mac keeps the books. Your iPhone keeps you posted.

The free MacMoney companion app puts your balances, budgets, and upcoming bills in your pocket — synced through your own private iCloud, never through a server we operate. Turn on iPhone Sync on the Mac, and your ledger follows you out the door.

Glance

Net worth, every balance, this month's budgets, and the next bills due — one screen, always current.

Bill Reminders

Notifications on the device you actually carry — days ahead and day-of, at times you choose. Swipe to mark a bill paid and it posts on your Mac too.

Balance Alerts

Set a floor for any account and your iPhone tells you the moment a sync brings a balance below it.

Quick Entry

Log an expense at the till in seconds. MacMoney guesses the category, and the entry lands in your Mac's register, flagged for your review.

Multi-Currency

Euros, dollars — one net worth

Hold accounts in any of 41 currencies. Pick a reporting currency and every cross-account total — net worth, income, budgets, reports — converts once, while each account still reads in its own money. Transactions keep the exchange rate they were recorded at, so last quarter's report never restates itself when rates move.

MacMoney Language & Currency settings with six interface languages and a reporting currency picker
Tax Season, Handled

April arrives with the reports already built

Assign a tax line to a category once and every transaction follows. When the year closes, hand your preparer clean reports instead of a shoebox.

Tax Summary

The year's income and deductible activity grouped by your own tax lines — and a one-click fix for anything still unassigned.

Realized Gains

Every securities sale with proceeds and gain or loss, subtotaled by symbol, with the cost method stated on the page.

Honest Exports

All 16 reports export as CSV in their own shape — a balance sheet exports as a balance sheet — plus paginated, print-ready PDFs.

Personal Finance Software, Made Simple

One app for everything your money does

Track bank accounts, credit cards, loans, cash, and investments in one place, with categories built for how you actually budget. Set a budget so you don't overspend where it counts, forecast your balance to head off overdrafts, and reconcile against your statement to catch errors early. When tax time or a big decision comes around, the reports are already built.

Why People Switch

Everything a household's finances need — nothing they don't

Accounts, a budget, and a calendar that actually talk to each other, plus a quiet path to real advice when you want it.

★ Financial Checkup

A six-step questionnaire written by a licensed advisory firm turns your real numbers into a written, personalized assessment — exportable as a PDF with every recommendation, not just the highlights.

★ It Files Itself

Rules, subscription detection, and a 90-day balance forecast — the work other apps run on a server, done privately on your Mac.

★ Tax Season, Handled

Tax lines, realized gains, and reports that export as what they are — ready to hand a preparer.

See Where You Stand

One dashboard for net worth, balances, bills, and what changed — every number a door to its detail, and ⌘F searches everything, even amounts.

Sees Trouble Coming

A Needs Attention inbox right on the dashboard — overdue bills, an account about to run short, categories over budget — plus bill reminders as real macOS notifications and daily automatic backups. The app minds the store.

Private by Design

No server of ours, no bank logins, no account to create. Your data lives on your Mac and works entirely offline — optional iPhone sync runs through your own private iCloud.
