What you need Mac or Windows; no bookkeeping login; your own Plaid account is optional Choose the Universal Mac edition for Apple silicon or Intel on macOS 13 or newer, the Older Intel Mac edition for macOS 11 or newer, or the Windows edition for 64-bit Windows 10 or 11. No GQ Bunny bookkeeping account is required: the owner name is a local display profile, and the purchase email plus activation code are used only to unlock or restore Pro. Manual imports, reports, Cards & Loans, money insights, and household handoffs remain free. Connected bank and credit-card feeds require your own Plaid developer account and are subject to Plaid availability, institution support, plan limits, and Plaid's separate terms. The app never includes another person's financial data or Plaid credentials.

What it does

Create one Personal book and one Business book during the guided first-run setup, then name them for the person and company using the app.

Use the name entered during setup as a local greeting and profile label. There is no GQ Bunny bookkeeping login and no GQ Bunny cloud copy of the ledger.

Import common CSV, QBO, OFX, QFX, and supported statement PDF downloads while preserving stable source details for reconciliation.

Connect supported checking, savings, and credit-card accounts with Plaid when current account feeds and available balances are wanted.

Use one Plaid institution connection free across both books, or make one $29.95 lifetime Pro purchase to unlock Email Notification controls, connections 2 through 10, and free app updates. There is no subscription.

On Mac or Windows, ask plain-English questions such as how much you spent with particular vendors and see the matching ledger evidence behind the answer.

Review the complete ledger without the former row ceiling, filter by account, year, status, or text, and document business purpose for tax-sensitive expenses.

See every credit card and loan together, with the last known balance, due information, and a clear label showing whether the source is Plaid or a verified statement.

Review identified credit-card interest for the current year and recent month, with totals by card and ledger-backed money insights.

Control a Sunday-style weekly bill briefing, recipient, credit-card and loan inclusion, amount-change warnings, missing-statement notices, and disconnected-account alerts. The app prepares and previews the briefing locally; automatic delivery uses compatible local mail automation rather than uploading the ledger to GQ Bunny.

Use stronger category suggestions, tax-readiness checks, and an audit trail without sending bookkeeping data to GQ Bunny.

Choose Personal, Business, or both for a tamper-checked spouse handoff; the receiving app combines Personal totals, blocks exact duplicates, and keeps every Business book separate.

Mac and Windows v1.3.0 check for newer signed releases at launch, ask before opening the official download, and preserve the separate local data folder when customers install an update.

Use the app for bookkeeping preparation and accountant-ready records. It does not file taxes, replace professional tax advice, or handle payroll.

How it works

From download to your own books

1

Choose Universal Mac, Older Intel Mac, or Windows, then open 1 - SETUP INSTRUCTIONS in the download.

2

Enter the owner name, business name, and starting date; the app creates fresh, isolated local books with no bundled transactions or cloud bookkeeping account.

3

Import downloaded statements, or add your own Plaid credentials and connect bank and credit-card accounts when live feeds are preferred.

4

Keep the first Plaid institution connection free, or unlock Pro Email Notifications and up to 10 total connections across both books for $29.95 one time.

5

Use the dashboard and reports locally, export only the Personal and/or Business books you intentionally choose, or receive a spouse handoff for a duplicate-safe household reconciliation.
