    There is also Accountz:

    I used it until the banking crash of 2008, after which I decided that there was no point keeping track of my finances anymore as the bankers/politicians will just f- it up. :wall:

    Also, when Microsoft and Quicken withdrew from the market they put the price up from £10 to £40. That's was it. I'm done.

    https://www.moneymanagerex.org/

    I downloaded that today but it doesn't have a reconcile function. Or perhaps I didn't find it?

    If you mean by that marking a transaction as reconciled, there is. Press "R" or right click and chose "Mark As Reconciled"

    I still use Microsoft Money - runs fine, and I haven't found anything to match it.

    Yes I still use it. However it's the ONLY reason I use windows (via parallels) on my Mac and I don't want to use parallels/windows any more.

    I want a reconcile function like MS Money has. The only way I can see is to use the "mark as reconciled" rather than the software actually reconciling function i.e. it's a manual function and not one the software actually can do.

    If you could tell us what the "reconcile function like MS Money has" is...

    You say that you don't want to connect online, so how would MS Money know what to reconcile?

    Watching this video I can't see what MS Money does differently. It's a manual process there too.

    The reconcile feature in Money means you have your actual bank statement and enter the final balance into Money. You then 'reconcile' each transaction as it appears on the statement. Money automatically adjusts for the reconcile.

    The reconcile function MMEX is not the same. The reconcile function is completely manual, as in, it doesn't add/subtract the reconcile in the same way.

    Edit - I watched the video but it wasn't Money and it wasn't how it reconciles.

    Not?

    If you try to find a program, which does everything exactly as MS Money, then you will search forever. You should learn to adapt to different programs.

    I use Microsoft Money on Windows 10, there is nothing I've found that bettered it.
