My reaserach led me to a nice application called "Money." While very simply named, the program is reasonably full featured program with an unusually pleasant interface. The other comforting fact has been the steady stream of updates (bug fixes AND new features) for the product since its release.

Thanks TigerPRO and PlaceofDis!
I downloaded the demo version of Money (by Jumsoft). I tried the web bank and put my bank citi and it was giving me this error messages about browsers but I already have the latest version. Is it that they're not compatible?
I called citibank tech and I was told that they know of quicken but haven't heard of Money (by jumsoft)
Thanks!

I've been using Cha-Ching as of late. It's still somewhat early int he development process (0.5, I think), but already it's shaping up nicely.
My needs with a program like this are pretty light, though, so I might not be the best judge. It does have a gorgeous GUI, though

Musings From Mars has a write-up on some of these:

Although Money has yet to be reviewed and I'm curious what he'll be saying about it...

So can any of these actually download bank/credit card statements? Most web statement downloads are only in Quicken and MS Money formats, which, I think, are proprietary. Without this capability, what exactly are these apps good for? I mean, if I have to enter every transaction by hand I might as well use Excel!
I have to chime in on this, because I've been bouncing back and forth between financial applications. I was using Money (Jumsoft) for a while, but decided to toss it. Too many UI bugs and quirks, which I told the developers about numerous times, and they always give me the standard "we'll work on it" response. Several versions later, the same bugs still exist.
I'm trying MoneyWell right now. It's nice, but the whole bucket/envelope concept is new to me, and some complicated situations can arise if you have your own business and move money around a lot.
I tried MoneyDance, the interface is butt ugly, IMO. It was a bit laggy in some spots too, I didn't care for it.
iBank was actually the first one I tried. I stopped using it, I think it had problems with handling a large amount of data (a year's worth of transactions). I might give it another go, though.
I'll try out Cha-Ching, too, looks interesting.

And another note, if anyone is considering picking up Cha-Ching it'd be worth it to look at the current MacHeist bundle, you get a bunch of other apps for just a few more dollars than the current full price for Cha-Ching (that's what I just did).
Yep, I saw that and went for it! Plus, it should be noted that Cha-Ching 2.0 is due out some point soon(?) and adds some features that are sorely lacking, such as split transactions.
