I believe iBank remains the best native PFM tool for the Mac, and for Apple's ecosystem. I can now add transactions to my iPhone on the go, knowing they will get to my Mac and iPad. Personally, I never give my house a chance to start whispering about money when there is a free alternative. One could also use Direct Access, the aggregator service (Yodlee), which works on all devices but costs $40 a year. I like Cloud Sync because it allows me to use Direct Download on my Mac, then propagate that information to iPhone or iPad versions of iBank for free. Create an account and password with IGG Software, then another password for Cloud Sync, then sync. Nonetheless, I'm using it, takes about five minutes to get running. They are there now, though when you set it up Cloud Sync it is still described as a 'beta' service. There is a post on their developer's blog from December that describes their new sync solution: Cloud Sync…Almost There. The biggest feature is a very badly needed implementation of cloud syncing. My choice for managing money across Apple devices remains iBank, and IGG Software has released iBank 5.5 today. Lawrence knows, 'there must be more money.' To that end, the start of a new year seems like a good time to revisit the topic of managing money on a Mac, preferably without riding a demonic rocking horse to 'where the luck is.' As anyone who has read the The Rocking-Horse Winner by D.
