Has anyone tried Cha-Ching?
I saw a review of Cha-Ching on some weblogs the other day and decided to try it.
It's a slick looking app, but still has some bugs that need to be ironed out...
Comments? Is there anything out there like this?

I tried using a bunch of these for a while and eventually reduced myself to using an excel spreadsheet.

I think it depends on what you are looking for in your money management. If you have any accounting background at all, a double entry program is nice. I previously used Linux and really liked GnuCash. It's a free app and I was able to install it via Fink. I'll admit that it isn't easy and due to the setup issues it isn't for everyone.
There is always the old standby of Quicken of course.

Actually "Money management" might be a good section to add to the sticky thread of applications. I'm sure this question gets asked often.

I opt for Excel, just because I can manage the logic for different cells.

I really like Cha-Ching.
I like the simplicity of it.

As far as Cha-Ching goes, I can't really figure out what to do with it.
Right now I keep a budget in Excel, with columns for wages, rent, utilities, other bills, food, etc, and rows for months, and just track all of my expenses in there. Then I have another set of columns to keep track of my account balances at the end of each month.

The GUI is nice, but like SpaceMonkey said, there's really not too much function to it yet. I'd like to find out what other features the developers plan on putting into it for the ver.1 release.
iBank is pretty good, as was already mentioned, and I'm playing around with GnuCash right now but it feels a little clunky.

I just bought CheckBook.
CheckBook: Simple, Powerful Personal Finance
I used to use Quicken but all I used it for was as a check register. That's exactly what CheckBook is for. And it's UB, which is something else I was looking for. It's a great app if all you want is a check register.
