With over a dozen time-saving features such as Transaction AutoComplete and the ability to import account activity downloaded from financial institutions, just a few minutes each week is all you need to start feeling more confident about how you manage your money.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Keep an electronic record of banking, credit card and other types of financial activity
  • Categorise transactions using customisable income and expense lists
  • Record transactions in any currency
  • Reconcile bank and credit card accounts against a monthly statement
  • Schedule recurring transactions for automated entry
  • Generate reports such as balance sheets and income statements
  • Import account activity from financial institutions in QIF, OFX, or CSV formats
  • Automate routine tasks and extend existing functionality using AppleScript

Liquid Ledger will be downloaded as a save-disabled demo. You can request a trial licence key to fully enable the software for 60 days by visiting www.liquidledger.com/trial.

A free 60-day trial licence is available by visiting www.liquidledger.com/trial. Otherwise, the download will run as a save-disabled demo.

What's new in this version:

Accounting

  • A new “Verify Integrity” command is available in the File menu that can help detect and repair document errors that previously would prevent documents from being saved. The new utility is automatically invoked if an internal data integrity error occurs while saving.
  • Previously when creating a new account, the account was missing an opening balance transaction. This has been fixed.

Import and Export

  • When running Liquid Ledger on Mac OS X 10.5.6, transactions imported from a QIF file with comma separators (such as “1,234.00”) were being imported as “1.00”. This has been fixed.
  • Transactions imported from an OFX file were previously marked as cleared even if the “Mark imported transactions as cleared” checkbox was unchecked in the Advanced Options panel of the Import Assistant window. This has been fixed.
  • On the “Select an Account” page, the Import Assistant now does a better job of suggesting the account into which transactions should be imported. For example, if you are importing account activity downloaded from your financial institution in OFX format, the Import Assistant now correctly selects the matching account in your document if possible. Otherwise, it suggests using the account loaded in the frontmost window. Previously, the Import Assistant always suggested importing transactions into a new account.
  • Liquid Ledger would sometimes crash in the final stages of importing transactions. This has been fixed.

Interface and Workflow

  • Previously when modifying a transaction's date, the transaction would jump to a new position in order to keep transactions sorted. However, the transaction would not remain selected, making it difficult to locate the transaction in its new position. This has been fixed.
  • Choosing the “Ungroup Selection” command from the Selection menu previously caused the automatic sorting of transactions during editing to stop working. This has been fixed.
  • The “New Group” command now inserts new transaction groups into the currently selected group instead of inserting new groups at the top level.
  • Clicking on the disclosure triangle for a transaction group no longer resizes the Name column, which previously had the side-effect of unintentionally activating the horizontal scroll bar.
  • When viewing a transaction in the Inspector panel, it was previously not possible to scroll the text within some fields such as the Memo field. This has been fixed.
  • Double-clicking an account’s name in the navigation sidebar of the main window now opens the Edit Account Info panel.

Performance

  • The application would previously quit unexpectedly after prolonged use due to a memory leak. This has been fixed.

Reports

  • Previously when running the Balance Sheet report, the Total Assets and Total Liabilities sections would correctly display their totals; however, some of the accounts that contributed to those totals would be missing when a subgroup such as “Banking” or “Credit Card” contained both home and foreign currency accounts, in which case the entire subgroup would not be displayed. This has been fixed.
  • The Income Statement report was previously formatting positive values in parentheses, causing a net income to be misinterpreted as a net loss. This has been fixed.

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC

Liquid Ledger Personal Finance ReviewWorst Car Wreck in Mac OS Software History - Version: 2.0, 10/19/2007 02:50PM PST

I love Liquid Ledger and was looking forward to this upgrade for years. Initially promised as a free upgrade I even paid the CAD 39.99. What a mistake! This version 2 is a downgrade in all respects. The worst user experience I’ve ever had in more than 15 years of working on a Mac.

I'm going to refrain from properly reviewing Liquid Ledger 2. That would require my spending more time with the program. Why won't I do that? When, five mintues out of the gate, I encounter a series of OBVIOUS bugs, why should I? This is financial management software. The user MUST be able to trust it. Despite an appealing feature set and a clean, efficient UI, I can't trust Liquid Ledger. If the right account name won't appear in a list, or a pop-up menu shows an empty account list when accounts are present, or an account view won't sort properly, or...how can I trust it to return ACCURATE financial information for my accountant, for tax purposes, or for my business? I simply can't.

It's pretty obvious from the enthusiasm that Quicken alternatives receive online that people REALLY want something better than Quicken. Unfortunately, few apps begin to measure up in terms of overall reliability and feature set. Yes, there are Quicken horror stories, but there are many, many success stories too. We forget that sometimes. My biggest gripe with Quicken is its dinosaur UI. When I see programs like Liquid Ledger, Cha-Ching, or iBank, I get a glimpse of how nice a well-designed finance app might be. And then I try it. And it's buggy. Too buggy to trust. So I stick with Quicken, as I imagine most of us do.
