Checkbook Tao is a simple Mac program that might come in handy to users who need to monitor their credit card balance, expenses, etc.
After you create an account, you can start adding expenses and deposit items, attach memos to your entries, and import CSV or QIF transaction files. Also, if you wish to share the stored information with other people, you can export the reports to your local folders.
Unfortunately, this app isn't completely free of charge. You need to make an in-app purchase in order to have access to all features, like the ability to add subaccounts, filtering options, etc. Nevertheless, the acquiring price is pretty low.
In my opinion, you can find better solutions for monitoring your expenses, credit card balance, etc. as this program provides you with a limited amount of useful features. For example, other utilities let you add recurring payments, choose between various currencies, and so on.
However, if this app offers you all the features you need to keep track of your expenses, you should acquire it for your Mac. The program is very simple to handle, provides you with an integrated help guide, and lets you import QIF and CSV transaction files.
