OrcaMento

OrcaMento is a small program to manage finances. Mine in particular, but some might find useful too.

It is based on budgets, a closed time span generally sequential. It is supposed to be the time span between your salary. Each budget should be filled with Estimates that is credits you hope to receive and debits you plan to pay. These can be divided in categories to better organize.

After you plan enough and the given month has come, you want execute the budget. When you put it in execution you can add executions (movement) to your estimates, and you will see the difference between the estimated and the accounted values.

But this execution is not from itself, but relative to an Wallet: An wallet is your pocket, your purse, your banking account, or any other place where you hold money. Each execution is done on an wallet and you can execute the same estimate many times, so each one can be in a different wallet.

Features

Multiple wallets;
Monthly budgets;
Safe storage (we use sqlite3 under the hood, so your data will be mostly ok. Do regular backup, however)
Free and visible format (again it's sqlite3, there are many programs out there able to see and export your info, in case you give up this program or I give up it's development).
Cross platform-ish. It is developed using wxWidgets and sqlite3 (Using SQLiteC++ as a c++11 layer). I use mingw32 on windows, it should be super easy to port to Linux or Mac now.
For developers thinking about working on contributing, I am using c++11 features and even some c++14 that gcc 4.9.2 supports, so the code is actual and should not be difficult pick up.

Limitations

For now it is fixed to monthly budgets because it the way we are paid in my country, but the file format is flexible enough for very different time spans. The interface really isn't, so I do not intend to fix it now.
When you walk away from the happy path (the correct way) the interface does not handle errors in an friendly way, but instead just show the sqlite error message and revert the operation. It is robust as you can continue working without restart the program but I know it is really bad UX and I will punish myself in honour to front-end gods.
Lack of Analysis and Graphic views of you budget. It can export to you check on Excel or Calc, but it would be better to have some basic charts built in.
Lack of interoperability. You can always view the database, but it is not documented and can be hard to understand. We do have a CSV export feature, but it is very limited.

Goals

The goal for this app was create a easier budget management tool than my old excel spreadsheet. On technical side, I wanted to get practice on SQLite databases, being wxWidgets and C++11 and 14 more like bonus experience.

Because of that I made it as personal need it may be a little too specific in some resources, as I do not have a general dataset to base my requirements. I probably can not even notice when it happens, but suggestions are welcome as I want it to be more general. A token of my good faith is the app interface language, witch is English instead of Portuguese (my mother language) :)

Dependencies

It was compiled using TDM-gcc, version 4.9.2. It should be compilable in any port of gcc 4.9.2 or later.

Licence issues

I started this project using MIT license, but then I decided that GPL would be more suited for it, as MIT sounds too library-y for me. So read the license.TXT if you want to modify or use this as part of other app or library.
