Finally, the Mac OS X financial manager you’ve been waiting for. We’ve tried the competition, we’ve listened to our users and we’ve delivered the best financial manager available.

An intuitive, full-featured personal and small business financial manager.

iBank 3 is designed to manage bank accounts, credit cards, loans and investments; analyze income and expenses with live updating charts; and plan your financial future with budgeting and forecasting. With iPhone sync, MobileMe integration and Direct Connect for online accounts, iBank 3 is a robust financial application able to meet the needs of the casual consumer to online investor.

What’s New?

Direct Downloads. iBank can now connect to your bank "behind the scenes" and import your data for you.* No more going to websites, logging in, going to the correct page, setting date parameters, etc; now it just happens, automatically. This was our most requested feature and we’ve delivered.

*Your bank must support the OFX protocol specifications. If you bank doesn’t support it correctly or at all, you may still need to log in to a website to download transactions.

Interactive Graphs. Graphs in iBank have received a complete overhaul. Now utilizing the power of Core Animation, you can click on pie graph slices to see sub-category totals or even "flip" the slices to see a list of the transactions making up that slice. While we certainly wanted to make the graphs look slick, they are way more functional and more enjoyable to use.

iBank now comes loaded with high resolution images for the most popular categories. These images are then used when making charts or viewing graphs so you can quickly see which part of a graph belongs to which category. You can also change the images to match your own preferences or add images to your own custom categories.

We delivered a solution for editing your transactions on the road, using your iPhone or iPod Touch. Using the latest Web 2.0 technologies you can view historical transactions and create and edit new ones while you’re on the go. To sync your data to MobileMe, it’s just one click from within iBank. MobileMe membership is required.

Cover Flow for Transactions. Ever wanted to see your transactions outside of a list? Enter Cover Flow on iBank: you can view, edit, and flip through your transactions while seeing how you spent (or earned) your money with gorgeous category images (see above). A graph along the bottom shows your account balance through time; click anywhere in the graph to jump to that transaction.

Loan Management. Easily manage loans and other debt with scheduled payment plans.

Smart Portfolios. Use a smart portfolio to summarize your investments for any accounts or securities. Want a portfolio to represent your Roth IRA, but not your personal investment account? No problem. Just want to see how your Apple stock is doing since a specified date or from a specified account? No problem.

Check Your Stocks on the Road. Upload your portfolios to your MobileMe account from iBank and view your securities’ performance from any web browser (including your iPhone and iPod Touch, of course).

Stock Performance Graph. Ever wonder how your stock picks stack up against the S&P 500 or NASDAQ, even after adjusted for dividend payouts? With the new performance graph in iBank you can select any securities to graph against each other to see how they compare, through time, adjusted for splits and dividends.

More Drag and Drop. Now to make a scheduled transaction you can just drag any transaction onto the "Scheduled Transactions" item in the source list. Want to add a category to a report? Just drag and drop it! Trying to reconcile a statement? Just drag and drop missing transactions into the statement until it is balanced.

Tax Support. Export your tax records to TurboTax and other tax software, plus assign tax numbers to your categories for easy tracking.

Standard Reports. Easily compare assets and liabilities with a Balance Sheet or check the performance of your investments with Capital Gains and ROI Reports.

About IGG Software, LLC

In 2003, programmer Ian Gillespie launched IGG Software, LLC, in Southern California. He had one simple goal: to develop intuitive, yet powerful, personal and small business applications for Mac OS X.

Gillespie created his inaugural application, AtWork, while working on a doctorate in botany. The program took root as a tool by which Gillespie could track the hours he spent conducting rare and endangered plant surveys. But after posting the application online and selling his first copy on the first day (for $6.00), a business was born. AtWork evolved into iWork, which in turn was relaunched as iBiz in early 2005. Today, iBiz 3 is the simplest and best tool for Mac-based free-lancers, consultants and contract workers to track and invoice billable hours.

As iBiz developed, IGG also began to offer ever more powerful versions of iBank, the company’s flagship application for managing personal finances and small business accounts. iBank 2 emerged in January 2006 after being completely rewritten to take advantage of Mac OS 10.4, Tiger. Similarly, Gillespie introduced iBank 3 at Macworld 2008. This latest version, developed strictly for OS 10.5, was named a runner-up for Best Leopard Application in the 2007 Apple Design Awards. With major new features such as direct account downloads, iPhone sync, interactive graphs and loan management, iBank has become the leading money management application created exclusively for Mac users.

Since 2004, IGG Software has been based in Putney, Vermont, a vibrant small community in a state known for its environmentalism. As such, IGG is committed to supporting sustainable energy, obtaining all of its electricity from renewable sources through Green Mountain Power’s “Greener Mountain Power” program.

    I was looking forward to this one, but the reviews I’ve read aren’t always enthusiastic about iBank 3, and the discount isn’t that attractive. It’s priced similar to Moneydance, but apparently quite a few people prefer Moneydance.

    For now I’ll wait. Perhaps a future Zot offer may include:
    Productivity Package
    Includes single-user licenses for iBiz 3, iBank 3, and iPaste.
    Or
    Business Package
    Includes single-user licenses for iBiz 3 and iBank 3.

    And hopefully by then bugs will be fixed :)

    How about having a Maczot upgrade offer on this since I bought it from you as iBank 2 the last time you ran it.

    We much prefer MoneyWell over iBank. Superb support of an excellent program.

    I like the idea of a productivity combo. MailSteward anyone ? ;-)

    I’ve looked at all finance applications out there and can recommend moneyGuru. It’s a new software and the developer is very responsive and determined to make the app better. For more professional needs I’ve used Liquid Ledger in the past, though development has slowed down in recent months and the future is uncertain.

    Excellent! Finally I can give up Quicken.

    iBank is very user friendly, nice GUI and has everything it needs. The iPhone sync feature is a great plus!

    Great deal.

    Thanks,

    David
