For almost 30 years, ever since Hypercard became available on the original Mac, I've relied on my own personal checkbook balancing program. Through the years, staying ahead of obsolesence, the little program eventually moved to an Xcode/Core Data/Objective-C version, and then recently it was upgraded to use Swift code.
Strictly speaking, the original was not my own program. Someone else had written a freely available Checking Hypercard Stack, and that stack ran inside the Hypercard shell. But you could tear apart a Hypercard stack to see how it worked, then put the pieces back together to suit your own desires and needs. It was fun to have complete control of the user interface.
My latest version is at github, in case anyone wants to tear it apart.
