Giving You More Power and Control in the Quicken Companion Apps
Quicken’s personal finance software empowers you to take control of your finances. With the comprehensive set of features and tools on our desktop products, you can manage your money with confidence while keeping your data private and secure.
Still, sometimes you need access to your financial information on the go. For those times, be sure to download the Quicken companion app for iOS or Android. If you’re new to our companion apps, you can learn more about them here:

Recently, we’ve added new functionality to our mobile apps, giving you even more power to see your finances the way you want to and access your information anytime, anywhere.
Get the best of both worlds with Quicken mobile
As more people return to the joy of shared events, from the simple pleasure of eating out to the excitement of far-flung travel, keeping your financial information at your fingertips has never been easier—or more important.
Sticking to your budget on the go
There’s no better way to manage your household spending than using Quicken to create a budget. Because Quicken categorizes each transaction automatically, it’s easy to track your spending and create a plan for every dollar, from dining out with friends to saving for your retirement.
Still, a budget only works if you stick to it! By downloading and syncing the Quicken mobile app, you can check on your budget no matter where you are, helping you make smart financial decisions that protect your long-term goals.
Tracking your accounts, even on vacation
When you’re splurging on purpose, like you might decide to do on a well-deserved vacation, it’s still important to make sure your account balances are under control. Maybe you need to move some money from your savings to your checking account so you can use your debit card on those new golf clubs, or you might want to split your vacation expenses between a credit card and a debit card.
When you make a habit of syncing and checking your companion apps, you can enjoy that vacation with peace of mind, knowing there won’t be any financial surprises.
Managing your bills without the worry
Nothing ruins a vacation like letting your everyday life seep into that quiet beach bungalow or peaceful mountain retreat. On the other hand, setting your finances aside and ignoring them can give you new problems to come home to, like late fees for overdue bills.
The Quicken mobile app lets you see all your upcoming bills in one place and even sends you notifications about upcoming events or unusual bank activity. A simple glance each day is all it takes to track your bills and accounts and put your mind at ease.
What’s new in the Quicken mobile app?
NEW! Sort your bills however you want to see them
What if you have a question while you’re traveling and you need to find a bill that isn’t coming up in the next few days? Instead of thumbing through an entire month of upcoming bills to find the one you need, now you can sort your bills in several different ways in the mobile app, just like you can on your desktop at home, making it easy to find what you’re looking for.
Sort your list of bills by the oldest to the newest, by the newest to the oldest, or simply by the biller name—organize your search however you want to and zero in on the right bill in moments.
NEW! Attach a pdf to a transaction using your mobile device
Want to attach a credit card statement to the transaction in which you paid it? What about adding a new insurance contract to your first premium?
One of the best things about Quicken is being able to look up past transactions quickly and easily. When you add receipts, contracts, warranties, or other digital documents to your transactions, Quicken becomes an all-in-one financial management system, storing your important documents with their underlying transactions and putting all your financial information at your fingertips in a fully searchable database.
Whether you’re at home or on the road, many of those pdf documents come in on your phone when you check your email. Now, you can attach those pdfs to their transactions right from your phone using the Quicken mobile app, making it easier than ever to keep up with the speed of life.
NEW! See separate accounts on your mobile app
Are there accounts you track in Quicken that you want to keep separate from your own? Maybe you’re managing a college fund that you don’t want to see in your net worth report. Maybe you’re helping your elderly parents manage their money, or you might be tracking donated funds for your kid’s soccer team.
It’s no coincidence that many Quicken users are the people others turn to for help when it comes to money management. To support you in those efforts, Quicken lets you mark accounts as separate so they don’t appear in your own personal reports, spending, or budget.
Now, when you mark an account as separate in Quicken for Windows or Quicken for Mac, the mobile companion app will display it separately too, without including it in your reports, your spending, or your personal budget.
Sync all your accounts to keep an eye on them no matter where you go, and Quicken will keep those separate accounts separate, automatically.
Take your money on the road
Whether you’re heading out on vacation or just around the corner to the coffee shop, the Quicken companion apps let you take control of your finances no matter where you roam. Be sure to download our latest updates on your mobile device and enjoy more peace of mind on the go.
