Capitowl for macOS

Capitowl for Mac is coming soon. A preview of the sidebar, the menu bar, keyboard shortcuts and window resizing.

Written by Emilio Aguilar Rosenthal

Capitowl runs on your Mac in its own resizable window, with a sidebar, a full menu bar and keyboard shortcuts. This page covers what works differently on Mac.

The sidebar

On Mac the sidebar lists your tabs in groups, with Home on top:

  • Home

  • Money: Transactions, Accounts, Budgets, Recurrings

  • Planning: Goals, Payments, Investments

  • Assistant

Rows highlight as your pointer moves over them. Choose View › Hide Sidebar (⌃⌘S) to hide it, and Show Sidebar to bring it back. Capitowl remembers your choice next time you open it.

The menu bar

Capitowl adds its own commands to the Mac menu bar.

Capitowl menu

  • Settings… (⌘,) opens Settings.

File

  • New Transaction (⌘N)

  • New Goal…

  • Add Account… (⇧⌘N)

View

  • One item per sidebar row: ⌘1 to ⌘9, in the order of the sidebar, so ⌘1 is Home.

  • Hide Sidebar (⌃⌘S)

  • Refresh (⌘R)

Go

  • Previous Period (⌘[)

  • Next Period (⌘])

  • This Month (⌘T)

  • Notifications (⌥⌘N)

Budget

These work only while Budgets is the screen you are on; otherwise they are greyed out.

  • Collapse All Groups (⌥⌘←)

  • Expand All Groups (⌥⌘→)

  • Monthly Spending…

  • New Category…

Help

  • Contact Support…

  • What’s New

Menu items are greyed out while a sheet is open or Capitowl is not the front window.

Keyboard and pointer

Transactions

When the window is at least 1100 points wide, Transactions shows a table with column headings. Click Date or Amount to sort.

  • ⌘ F: Find (jumps to search)

  • ↑ and ↓: move through the rows; add ⇧ to extend the selection

  • Return or Space: open the highlighted transaction

  • ⎋ (Esc): clear the selection

  • ⌘ A: Select All

With several rows selected, the bar shows their combined total.

Assistant

  • ⌘ K: New Chat

  • ⌘ Return: Send Message

  • ↑: Edit Last Message (with an empty message box)

Budgets

While you edit a budgeted amount, Return saves it and ⎋ (Esc) cancels.

Window size

Capitowl lays itself out from the width of its window. Under 600 points you get the compact layout without a sidebar. From 600 points the sidebar appears. Wider windows add side-by-side layouts, and from 1100 points the table views switch on. Drag the window edge and the layout changes as you go.

Support chat

Chat with Support is not available in the Mac version yet. To reach us from your Mac, email [email protected].
