Is there a free checkbook I can download?

If you have Apple products (phone or IPad, there is a free app called Easy Checkbook, but I have not used it. You might also want to just use Excel to track your balance. Hope this helps.

Do you mean a checkbook register like Quicken to keep track of the transactions?

If so, do you want a software app that is installed on your computer or a cloud based option?

If you want software, Ace Money Lite is free. Or you could use Excel or a free version like Google Sheets.

If you want cloud based, check out Empower by Personal Capital or Mint by Intuit.

If you want to write checks to pay bills you could look for an online bill pay system. Your bank or stock broker probably has a free one. May include free paper checks.

Not sure but I think Quicken is not free. I'll try Ace Money Lite.

Quicken is indeed NOT free. I was just using it as a point of reference since it is well known.

OP, If you are after a way to keep track of your bank accounts, there are Excel templates (free) that do that, and most banks allow you to download CSV files that you can directly import into Excel.

If you are after a way to PRINT your own checks, I am sure you will need a paid program, and a color laser printer, and I would go the extra expense of special check paper from Staples or Office Depot to limit the possibility of the check being altered.

Not really sure what you are after.

I am still using Microsoft Money even though it was discontinued in 2009 and it works on Windows 10. If you search around for Money Sunset Edition there are probably still downloads out there.

What does your bank offer?

[villagetinker]

There are many free templates for Excel, and i am sure for the Google free equivalent spreadsheet. Many banks offer the ability to download xxx.csv files which can then be imported directly to Excel, not sure if the Google equivalent imports these files.

Quicken runs about $40 per year with almost monthly updates, also it can be setup to download your accounts directly from the bank and handle the reconciliation of the checks. I have been using this product since 2009.

I also recommend Quicken. Been using it since early 90's. Great program and very little work to track all accounts.

I was using quicken since the 90’s too but switched over to my banks free bill pay. Why would you want a register when you can go online and see every transaction and what the real time balance is? If you use something like excel, you will have to enter that info manually and that’s always a problem because you are human and if you miss updating excel, things go south. Other real time tools I use are personal capital which is great to use, just ignore any request from the admins to have them invest your money.

My husband and I use itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id659063449? We pay an annual fee which is allows us both to use it jointly. We both input in the same manner as a written register and both of our apps update. We only track checking and savings but you can track multiple accounts including credit cards. Good luck!
