## Introduction

HomeBank was originally think to replace a manual accounting process; with a pen, a book and a calculator.
Some people uses a spreadsheet program, but this kind of software is too much general to easily cover every aspect of a personal accounting.

HomeBank was written to replace and improve this manual process in these ways:

- ease the manual transactions insert with a kind of bookmark
- automate recurrent transactions insert with optional anticipation
- foresee the situation of your finance with the future balance
- provide powerful real time analysis tools to know exactly where your money comes and go

With such axes, HomeBank can help in seeing if you can spend extras money each month, or more globally if you can start a more expensive buy with for example a consumer credit.
