ChromaticQFX (Simple Overview) :

ChromaticQFX is a utility which can read Quicken QFX files exported from a banking website for a checking account. Once imported you can categorize your transactions, view running balances over time, and analyse the transactions to help understand how your income is being distributed.

The project is open source and you can download the source code at :

It can be used on its own, but was designed to be complementary to Project-Continuum. While Project-Continuum is designed to model and project future activity, ChromaticQFX is designed to show historical actual distributions, allowing you to determine inefficiencies and areas for reallocation.

ChromaticQFX currently works with only one account... your primary checking account. For that account you can import multiple qfx exports and their data will be combined. Duplicates are avoided since each transaction has a unique ID. The default range will be the timeframe of the last import but you can change this timeframe to show other ranges.

Most of the activity you perform in ChromaticQFX is done in the 'View Transactions' screen. In this screen you can view all uncategorized transactions and assign them to categories. If you are missing categories, you can add them in the Categories screen. If you double-click on an uncategorized transaction, all uncategorized transactions with the same name will be highlighted for bulk categorization. You can add or remove transactions in a category one at a time or in this bulk fashion using the two buttons with 'greater than / less than' symbols.

If for some reason you wish to clear out old transactions, you can use the 'Delete Transaction History' option to clear the transactions while still preserving the category list. If you do not wish to preserve the category list, you can just delete the data file in your \Documents\Chromatic directory.

The data file in ChromaticQFX is encrypted with a hardcoded password, so it won't ask you for a password, yet the file cannot be read if loaded into a text editor. If you wish further security you will need to implement yourself. Also be sure to delete or protect any QFX files you exported if you are concerned about their protection.
