## About Perfin ## Perfin was created by [Andrew Lalis](https://andrewlalis.com/) as a modern solution to personal accounting which didn't rely in some way on internet services that are probably selling, using, or storing your data in ways you're not comfortable with. -- It's designed around the concept of personal ownership of your financial data. You can, at any time, inspect the data that Perfin stores, and you can be sure that none of that will ever leave your computer. -- Perfin was built using Java 21 and JavaFX, and stores most data in an H2 database file for each profile. Attachment files are copied into the profile's *content* directory, and can be accessed directly.
