Features
========
The program may help you to organize, control and plan your finances by 
defining accounts, persons and categories. When entering your income and 
spendings as bookings with category, user, account owner and account, the 
program will automatically calculate the state of your accounts and how 
much you have spent/received on the different categories as category state.
You can check your financial state in tables or visualize them in diagrams.

Balance rules may help you to fairly distribute income and spending to 
different persons.

For each category and user you can enter the estimated monthly amount as 
plan value. Based on the specified periodic and future bookings and these 
values or the average amounts of the last months you can plan your finances 
for the next months.

You may import booking data as comma separated text file in special format, 
however you may not directly import data from your bank account via 
internet, because the program is designed for local use and storage of your 
financial data.

See the program help, chapter first steps for how to install, configure and 
use the program.

The program has been tested under Windows 10 version 19044.1889-21H2.
