OmniFocus rarely crashes, but when it does, it tends to do so when I’m doing the difficult work of “the weekly review.” I went back and forth with support from Omni a couple times when this happened last month and they sort of dissmissed my problem as:

Personal Finance Software for Mac
Personal Finance Software for Mac
I need some suggestions on finance software for the Mac. I’ve got three requirements:
- auto downloads transactions from Bank of America
- graphs and charts for monthly budgets
- auto-categorizes downloaded transactions
I’ve been using Mint for several months. I really liked its auto-categorization features but its reporting is really, really bad. I’ve got approximately 20 budget categories into which every one of my transactions falls. I want to know how I’m doing on that budget in a given…
