Overview
To keep Quicken for Mac secure and up-to-date with the latest Mac technologies, and to streamline our efforts to improve your experience, we will be ending support for macOS High Sierra (10.13) and macOS Mojave (10.14) after the v6.12 release. These operating systems are more than four years old and no longer receive improvements or security updates from Apple.
Specifically, this means:
- Quicken for Mac v6.12 will be the last release that will continue to run on macOS versions 10.13 and 10.14.
- If you are running macOS 10.13 or 10.14, you will no longer be able to upgrade Quicken for Mac beyond v6.12 to get new features, stability fixes, or security improvements. As part of the goal of streamlining our development process, we will no longer be testing Quicken for Mac on macOS 10.13 or 10.14.
Your options:
- Most people can upgrade to macOS Catalina (10.15), or newer, even with older Mac hardware. Check Apple’s How to Upgrade web page for more details. You can also view the hardware requirements for the last several macOS versions by clicking here. Once you upgrade your computer to macOS 10.15 or newer, Quicken for Mac will start to update again, and you will be able to get all the latest improvements.
- If your Mac is not compatible with macOS Catalina (10.15) or newer, you can upgrade to a newer Mac.
- You will be able to continue to use Quicken for Mac v6.12 on 10.13 and 10.14 for as long as you want. However, connected services may stop working in the future when we discontinue support for v6.12 due to compatibility or security reasons.

What if I run Quicken on multiple computers?
Customers who run Quicken on multiple computers may run into issues if one of their machines is running a newer macOS and the other computer is running macOS 10.13 or 10.14. This will no longer work. Quicken’s file format changes almost every release so you cannot open the same file with different versions of Quicken. Customers running macOS 10.13 or 10.14 will not be able to open Quicken v6.13 or newer files.
Quicken macOS support policy going forward
We are moving Quicken to the same model as Apple where we only support the latest releases of macOS. As Apple rolls out new major versions of macOS, Quicken will drop support for the older versions. This is also the same policy that many Mac software developers have adopted, including Microsoft Office for Mac. We always notify our customers about any adjustments to System Requirements ahead of a change.
