history
Project history and usage
Banktivity is IGG Software's personal-finance manager for macOS and iOS, descended from the iBank application first released in 2003.
Project history
IGG Software first released its personal-finance application as iBank in November 2003. The family expanded to iPhone and iPad before IGG renamed it Banktivity in 2016, combining the words “bank” and “activity.”
Banktivity 6 was rebuilt and released in 2017 with workspaces and more than one hundred changes. Banktivity 7 followed in 2018, and a new subscription-based generation arrived in 2020 across macOS and iOS.
Adoption history
The original iBank quickly developed a following among Mac users and expanded from macOS to iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2012. IGG reported helping hundreds of thousands of customers manage their finances.
Later Banktivity releases added workspaces, reports, tagging, budgeting, investment tracking, cloud synchronization, and automatic financial-institution downloads. In 2020 the product moved to a subscription model that bundled connected services while retaining non-connected functionality after cancellation under the announced terms.
How it is used
Banktivity is used to track accounts, transactions, investments, budgets, bills, and financial goals. Optional connected services import activity from banks and brokerages.
Because the application handles financial records and institution connections, its local documents and synchronized account data should be treated as sensitive. No official fixed configuration-file or credentials-file path was verified.
Why package nerds care
Banktivity represents a long-running, Mac-native personal-finance lineage in a category often dominated by Quicken and web services. The Homebrew cask provides a repeatable installation route for proprietary software whose user data remains financially sensitive.
Its 2016 rename is a useful packaging detail: Banktivity continued the version numbering and customer lineage of iBank rather than beginning as an unrelated product.
