"Our Hosted Quicken application will give you and anyone else you chose to authorize, access to your Quicken without the hassle of having to share files, update the program, install patches on your computer, or backup your files," a Quicken representative wrote in the announcement. Supported browsers include Apple's Safari, Google's Chrome and Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE).

Users will access HQW via a browser or a remote desktop application like Microsoft's Remote Desktop for OS X and iOS. (Before its sale to H.I.G., Quicken was part of Intuit.)

Instead, it will rely on Quicken 2016 for Windows running on servers at a data center maintained by Hudson, N.H.-based Right Networks, which currently hosts Intuit's QuickBooks and Microsoft's Office.

The hosted Quicken will not be a true cloud application.
