Moneydance on Mac — key points

System requirements and online banking on Mac

Moneydance for Mac requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later and runs as a universal binary, so it uses Apple Silicon natively on M1, M2 and M3 machines and runs on older Intel Macs without emulation. The disk image is around 153 MB and installs like any other Mac app — drag it to Applications. Because Moneydance is a Java-based application, the required runtime is bundled inside the app, so there is nothing extra to install.

For online banking on macOS, Moneydance connects to your financial institutions through the optional Moneydance+ service, which covers 11,000+ North American banks and credit unions for automatic transaction download. You can also import statements manually via OFX/QFX, QIF or CSV if you prefer not to connect directly. Your account file stays encrypted on your Mac, and the free iOS companion app syncs securely with it so you can enter transactions on the go and see them on the desktop.
