Release History

1.3

• Routing and account numbers now print at the standard positions banks read. Print a test page (Settings › Printer Alignment) before your next check.
• Choose the business or personal MICR line: the check number before the routing number, or after the account number.
• Print the fractional routing number from your bank’s checks under the check number.
• Printer alignment: shift everything that prints, and check it with a test page.
• Print several checks at once.
• Void or duplicate a check. Voided checks print with a VOID stamp.
• Filter the register by unprinted, printed, deposited or voided checks, with totals.
• Export to QIF for Quicken, QuickBooks and other finance apps. The CSV export now includes voided checks.
• Payee suggestions fill in the name, memo and amount from your last check to them.
• Siri and Shortcuts: “Write a check in CheckCraft”. Find checks in Spotlight.
• The lock now falls back to your device passcode, and keeps your checks out of the app switcher, Siri and Spotlight.
• Account numbers up to 17 digits; long payee names and large amounts shrink to fit their line.
• Checks print at their actual size on iPhone and iPad. Ready for iPhone Duo.
• Fixes: ⌘V pastes on the Mac, and opening an old check no longer changes its date.

FAQ

Can I try it before buying it?

Kind of. You can purchase it, and if you decide that you don’t like it, you can request a refund from Apple. See Apple’s support article for more information.

We did not want to implement a free version mostly because of fake reviews, or people might download it without reading the description. Seeing bad reviews for the application is like hearing somebody call your baby ugly. It is very hard to ignore it.

What kind of checks can I print with this application?

At this moment CheckCraft supports only one layout of checks. By CheckOMatic.

You can purchase it from Amazon.

You cannot configure the layout of the check. If you wish the app to support other layouts, please send us an email to support@loshadki.app. If we get enough requests, we will add support for other layouts.

My bank printed the bank number, account number and check number in a different order?

Each number on the bottom line (the MICR line) has its own symbol, and check readers find the routing, account and check numbers by those symbols, so the order doesn’t matter to them. CheckCraft prints the business layout by default: check number, routing number, account number.

Since 1.3 you can choose the personal layout instead, in a check’s Bank section (MICR Line: Personal): routing number, account number, then the check number, as most personal checks print them. The same section has the fractional routing number, printed under the check number. It’s optional; copy it from a check your bank printed.

How can I enter second line on name or address of the check?

On macOS some controls allows you to go to the second line by pressing Option+Return. Default control for entering multiline text used by CheckCraft uses that control. If you need to print something on the second line, just press Option+Return to go to the second line.

Why this app available only in USA?

I know nothing about banks and checks in other contries. If you believe I can just use the same layout as in USA, and make the app available in other contries, please contact me at support@loshadki.app. Or if the layout is slightly different, please let me know.

Alternatives?

You don’t need fancy apps to print checks if you don’t want them. You can just use Excel.app with templates to print them. Please take a look at github.com/andrewstellman/excel-check-printing.

I have used it for a while, and even built a Numbers.app version of it.

Please be aware of other free alternatives on App Store, some of them collect too much information, including bank names, memos, etc. We don’t do that.
