# Daybook

A portfolio analyser that runs entirely on your own computer. No account,
no sign-up, nothing uploaded anywhere, and **nothing to install** - this
copy carries everything it needs.

## Running it

Open the `Daybook` folder and double-click **Daybook.exe**.

Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen the first time,
because this copy is not signed by a publisher it knows. Click **More
info**, then **Run anyway**. That prompt is about the signature, not the
contents.

The window opens in a few seconds.

## Getting your data in

Go to **Accounts** and upload a statement. Almost any spreadsheet or CSV of
transactions works - it reads your file's own column headings, proposes
what each one means, and asks you to confirm before anything is saved. A
holdings summary is not enough; export the transactions.

## Worth knowing

* **Tax reports need to know where you file.** Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States and Canada are
  carried, each with its own engine; the tax pages stay off until you
  pick one, and anywhere else the software says so rather than guessing.
  Everything that is not tax works wherever you are.
* **Not financial or tax advice.** It measures what already happened.
* Your data stays in the `data` folder beside the program. **Accounts >
  What is held about you** lists every file and lets you export or delete
  the lot.
