Install and open yourfinance

Pick the download

The download page offers yourfinance for Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) and for Macs with Intel, on macOS 13 or later. Each chip has its own DMG: take the one for your Mac. The Intel build also opens on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2, more slowly; the Apple Silicon build does not open on an Intel Mac. To see which Mac you have, open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac: “Chip: Apple M1” (or M2, M3, M4 and so on) means Apple Silicon; “Intel Core” means Intel.

Check the file

The download page lists each file’s SHA-256. In Terminal, run shasum -a 256 followed by the file, and compare the two. It takes a few seconds.

Install

Open the DMG and drag yourfinance to Applications.

The first open

Both builds are signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple; the download page shows this under each file. The first time you open yourfinance, macOS asks whether you want to open an app downloaded from the internet. Choose Open. You do this once. Opening yourfinance on macOS shows the first launch for macOS 13 to 26.

After that

The trial starts the first time the app opens, not when you download it. Next: Getting started.

A free companion for iPhone and Android, which pairs with the computer over your Wi-Fi, is not in the App Store or Google Play yet: yourfinance on your phone.

How do I install it on Windows?

The download page offers yourfinance for Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, two ways. First the Microsoft Store edition: Microsoft signs it, so Windows shows no warning, and it leaves out the broker connectors. Then a zip with every feature: compare its SHA-256 with the download page, extract it to a folder you keep, and run yourfinance.exe. The zip is not code-signed, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC": choose More info, then Run anyway. Where Smart App Control is on, Windows blocks the zip; use the Store edition there. Installing yourfinance on Windows shows each step.
