Introduction

EuroBudget is a checkbook management software written in pure Java 2. It allows you to do your own accounting for free. Of course it has a limited set of features but it is enough for my own purpose. With it you should be able to do your accounting anywhere and on all computer, nevertheless their operating system. You will import qif file from your bank internet site to enter quickly most of your entries. You will create some graphical reports that will help you to understand how you spend your money and where you could reduce expenses.

This software is free, will stay free and could even been improved or debugged by someone else as source code is also freely available on sourceforge project page. Thus you won't have to buy any next commercial version as soon as you upgrade your computer or if you migrate from Windows to MacOsX or Linux. Your accounting data will have a longer lifetime than your computer has ! Source code is availabe. This is an open source project, anyone who wants to contribute is welcomed, specially regarding the internationalization (today english, french, german and italian but spanish and other european language are still missing ).
The project homepage is located on the sourceforge website on url : http://sourceforge.net/projects/eurobudget.
