Scheduled updates (Q Mac)

getvacation.rentals

I know this has been suggested and archived in the past, but I'm bringing it up again. Back on Windows years ago, I could schedule Quicken to do an update before I got up and went to the office. I’ve not seen this in Mac. But since data is stored online, why couldn’t the whole process work online and the GUI just sync? That way, back-end connections could be centralized on Quicken servers, limiting threads and limiting user-side issues.

Thank you!

There was an existing Idea thread (feature request) for this exact functionality, and the developers marked it as "Not Planned". (Such threads are then archived so they aren't visible any longer.)

The developers don't outright reject very many feature requests, but we have no idea why they nixed this one.

Another thread was created after that one was removed…

… but it was also archived, either because the developers said no or it idn't get enough votes over time.

There's nothing wrong with starting this new thread seeking the same functionality, as the developers' view may change over time. This topic needs to reach at least 30 votes for it to be submitted to the developers for (re-) consideration.

I like to have up to date data each morning so I'd like to be able to schedule a one step update each day at a specific time such as 4 AM.

I would like this feature as well. This seems like a very simple addition.

According to the AI, Quicken Classic for Windows allows for the automated transaction download on a schedule, which, once set up, updates all accounts with most recent transactions without human intervention. This could be scheduled for a daily download at 6:00 a.m., for example, and I would be assured that my Quicken always has all transactions, without relying on me to actually use Quicken regularly to do this.

This is a powerful and important feature. I'm astonished it doesn't exist in Classic for Mac. Please add this feature, either as a schedule task, or as a separate background service that has a plist entry and runs at startup. Please ensure that, once set up, no human intervention is required. This should be a background process, perhaps with a MacOS notification to indicate that transactions were downloaded or there was a failure, etc. But, it should not require opening the full application or otherwise have UI interaction.

I use Quicken on an irregular, infrequent schedule, mostly just for tax preparation. Many of the institutions I connect to only allow a 30 or 45 day transaction history available for download, if even that long. So, there is a serious risk that transactions will not be included. This feature would eliminate that risk, and not rely on me remembering to do anything.

Thank you for your consideration of my product improvement suggestion. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if there is anything I can do to help facilitate this.

P.S. Neither I, nor the AI, found similar existing posts relating to this feature request. Apologies if it already exists and I missed it.

I would like Quicken to update my transactions automatically every day. I would need to schedule the time to update, as I have found that updates are done early in the morning from my institutions. All I need to do is click a button, so it should be very easy for Quicken to do it.
