Introduction
What is &kappname;?
Put simply, &kappname; is a personal finance manager for &kde;. It enables
users of open source operating systems to keep careful track of their personal
finances by providing a broad array of financial features and tools.
The principal goals of the project are:
Feature Parity
&kappname; intends to provide all important features found in the
commercially-available personal finance managers. Although this release
is closer than ever to that goal, there is still work to be done.
Ease of Use.
&kappname; strives to be the easiest open source personal finance
manager to use, especially for the non-technical user.
Correctness.
Based on tried and tested double entry accounting principles &kappname;
ensures that your finances are kept in correct order.
What &kappname; is not
As a personal finance manager, &kappname; is not intended to scale to the
needs of an average business. However, it would be possible to create client
/ supplier / document features through plugins.
&kappname; is not simply a clone of the commercially-available personal
finance programs. Although many of the features present in &kappname; can be
found in other similar applications, &kappname; strives to present an
individual and unique view of your finances.
