Like previous versions of Quicken for Mac, Quicken Essentials lets you view all your accounts in one place and helps you see where your money is going. Many of the basics are the same as in previous versions: You create separate accounts for things like your checking accounts, credit cards, brokerage accounts, and loans. You’ll enter transactions and run reports. But in many ways, Quicken Essentials is an improvement.
New look
You’ll immediately notice that Quicken Essentials has a completely new look, modeled on many of the Mac-based software programs you already enjoy and use. We think that all users will have an easy time learning how to use the new Quicken, but if you already use programs like iTunes or iPhoto, it’ll be a snap!
New, improved registers
You’ll discover that the new registers are much more flexible and easy to use.
Global registers
Three new global registers let you review and work with transactions across all your accounts at once. The Transactions register lists transactions from all your accounts. Scheduled Transactions lists all scheduled transactions. And Last Download shows you all the data that was downloaded into Quicken Essentials the last time you did an update.
Downloading transactions
If you’ve used previous versions of Quicken, you are used to using a two-step process for downloading your transactions into Quicken: first you download them, then you “accept” them into the register. This new version of Quicken streamlines that process and skips the second step altogether. Instead, all downloaded transactions go straight into the appropriate register.
More financial institutions
Using new technology, Quicken Essentials lets you download transactions from over 13,000 different financial institutions, up from about 4,000 in previous versions of Quicken.
