About ChaChing
ChaChing was a macOS personal finance app that used a tag-based database for tracking income and outgoing transactions, including pending payments, loans, and utility bills. It supported budget creation, iCal-based payment scheduling, file attachments (PDFs, images, Word docs), and a photo inventory of purchased items for insurance or tax purposes. The app was acquired by Intuit in 2010 and subsequently discontinued; it is no longer available.
