FWIW, it does have a tool (and instructions) for importing from Quicken (Mac).I've heard that QFL will have no import for Quicken data; implicitly there's no import then for Money data either.
Got a tip for us?

How were you not in the beta but were beta testing QFL?
I signed up for the beta and was never contacted. Actually, I signed up a few times. When they started beta testing, and I don't know if this was a glitch or on purpose, but if you signed up again to test, you were directed to a download link.
I think they fixed that now when this last beta expired as I was not able to update to the next version and they closed the forum. It may be almost done, but I have a feeling they're still doing testing. The last beta I used did not have a lot of features activated, but these were not features that would have many bugs. I think they really wanted us to test transaction entries and downloads.
Maybe it's in gamma now and they're updating the release dates. Just a few more years and it'll be in the omega phase.
I don't get their online services. I can understand if they charged for it, but it's free. Am I missing something? Why would a company who's business is selling financial software for users suddenly offer a free online version that is actually quite comparable to the one they're selling?
I guess they get more money from showing ads/recommending appropriate services then they do from selling software?
That could be it. I tried it in the past when it was fee based, but it just felt weird doing it all online. Maybe I should try it again. Does anyone have any opinions on it?
Q-online still sucks. It won't download from certain banks consistently and no split transaction.
Quicken Financial Life for Mac references all gone.
Per Ars Tchnica, and I checked too, the Intuit site has removed all references to QFL. When you click on a search referencing it, you end up at a Quicken for Mac 2007 page. Google's cached version still shows it from the end of June.

nonetheless, thanks to dad2rem because I missed that other thread too and have been trying to figure out when it'll be released.
I just got a new MBP and need to install 2007 or the new financial life. I tried the beta but don't want to go down the wrong path converting my data files if they were to change the way it works. I'd install 2007 but I hate the way it uses the installer to put files everywhere and I don't know of a clean way to uninstall.
But now it looks like I have no choice.
