Quicken is a personal finance management application originally developed and offered by Intuit, Inc. Intuit sold Quicken to H.I.G. Capital in 2016,[1] and H.I.G. sold Quicken to Aquiline Capital Partners in 2021.[2]

Quicken runs on Windows and Mac systems, though the data is incompatible between the two versions. Earlier versions ran on MS-DOS[3] and the Apple II.[4] Versions of Quicken range from "starter" editions to more advanced offerings.[5] Since 1998, each version has tended to have the release year in the product name (e.g., Quicken Basic 2008); before then, versions were numbered (e.g., Quicken 8 for DOS).

Quicken is available for purchase and use only in Canada and the United States, and only in English.[6]
