This may seem nitpicky, but after years of using SplashMoney and going long intervals without reconciling accounts against statements, I know from experience that that little radio button can save oodles of time.

As far as syncing goes, I don't plan to sync at all. I'm sure that either one of the afforementioned apps will be more than enough for my needs without a desktop app to go with them.

Denis: I my account registries are new and largely empty. I said it before but I don't know that I said it clearly, so I'll say it again. Spb is faster to load than cash organizer, but if both are left to run in the background cash organizer pops up almost instantly if it is clicked on from the today screen plugin. Spb takes a few seconds to come up from the today plugin. The more I mess with it the more I figure it probably won't be that big of a deal, but I prefer to put an account entry in while the clerk is running my card, thus my reason for being nitpicky about a few seconds.

Ultimately, I believe I am going to end up using Spb. The layout is cleaner and IMO more intuitive than Cash Organizers. Someone from tech support told me that the cleared/uncleared checkbox was going to be implemented in a future update. I will just have to bank on it being SOON!
Hi Woozle,

Thank you for your comments. Current version of Spb Finance allows to mark transation as Unreconciled, Cleared, Reconciled or Void from the transaction context menu (we decided that check box is not enought for this option). So when you will have a time please have a look to the current version. In the new version that will come soon we also added OFX/QFX import/export option that allow users to import data from their banks.

I'm not sure why you have a delay when activating Spb Finance from the today plug-in. This is possible if Spb Finance is actually closed. For example you have Spb Pocket Plus with active Close Button option and Spb Finance was closed. If Spb Finance is alredy in the memory it should be activate as quick as other applictions do. Anyway if you are interested and have a some time for testing I recomend you to try a recent version or even better to try the current beta (contact me to get a download link) and let us know how it acts with you.

Thanks!
