Everything you need to print a cheque, and nothing you don't.
CheckYourself is a focused, native macOS app. No hidden settings, no surprise upsells, no cloud accounts to maintain — just the tools to lay down a clean, bank-compliant cheque every time.
Pre-printed stock or blank cheque stock
Already have pre-printed cheque stock? Drop your routing and account numbers in, pick the layout, and CheckYourself nails the alignment. Don't have any yet? Pick up a ream of blank cheque stock for about $15–$25 — the app draws the entire cheque body, including the MICR line.
- Pre-printed cheque stock from any vendorPerfect alignment via the interactive drag-and-drop layout editor with snap-to-grid.
- Blank cheque stockCheckYourself draws the cheque body and MICR line from scratch using your bank details. We recommend proper blank stock with security features — Amazon US · Amazon Canada.
- Plain paper for testing onlyPlain 8.5" × 11" works for the free tier's VOID mode and for alignment testing — but production cheques should run on proper stock.
- Four page layouts, ready to go3-per-page, top-stub, middle-stub, bottom-stub — fits any major vendor's stock.
Drop a CSV, walk away with a stack of cheques.
