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.
