Caffeinated Checkbook

Caffeinated Checkbook is a digital checkbook register for people who want to track their money themselves. It doesn't connect to your bank. It doesn't sync your transactions automatically. It doesn't sell your data or show you ads. It's a notebook that does math.

Record payments, deposits, and transfers across as many accounts as you need: checking, savings, credit cards, cash, or investments. Every transaction gets a running balance, just like a paper checkbook register. When you're ready, reconcile against your bank statement to make sure everything matches.

No account required. No internet required. Your data lives on your device in an encrypted local database that you control. Caffeinated Checkbook works completely offline and always will.

FEATURES

Manage multiple accounts with full transaction registers and running balances. Enter transactions with payee, amount, category, memo, and check number. Smart auto-fill remembers your frequent payees. Split transactions across categories. Transfer between accounts with linked transaction pairs. Void, duplicate, and search transactions instantly.

Reconcile your accounts against bank statements with a guided workflow. Track cleared vs. uncleared balances. View reconciliation history.

Set up recurring transactions for bills and regular income. Choose manual confirmation or auto-posting. Never forget a payment.

Run reports: spending by category, payee summaries, cash flow, year-over-year comparisons, and tax-relevant expense reports with IRS schedule classifications. Export any report to CSV.

50+ built-in categories with tax-relevant flags for medical, charitable, mortgage interest, property tax, and more. Create your own categories and subcategories.

SYNC & SHARING

The app is free to use on a single device with no limitations. For those who want more:

An Individual subscription adds multi-device sync, keeping your data consistent across your phone, tablet, and desktop.

A Family subscription includes multi-device sync for up to five members, plus the ability to share specific accounts with other members of your household. Keep personal accounts private while sharing joint accounts, each person controls what they share.

A single Caffeinated Account unlocks sync across the entire Caffeinated Softworks suite. One account, one subscription, all of the apps.

WHAT THIS APP IS NOT

Caffeinated Checkbook does not connect to banks or financial institutions. It cannot move money, pay bills, or access your account credentials. It is a record-keeping tool, the digital equivalent of the paper register in your checkbook. You enter what you spent, and it keeps track.

No ads. No tracking. No data collection. Your finances are yours.

Part of the Caffeinated Softworks suite.

Recent changes:
Fixes accounts set to pounds, euros or yen showing dollar amounts throughout the app. Balances, the register, reports and amount entry now use the account's own currency, and new accounts start in the currency of your device's region. Also fixes a recurring entry needing the app restarted before it appeared in the account, and entries set to post automatically now post when you return to the app and after each sync.
