## What is DarkBook?

[inspiration and ideas]
Inspiration comes from "highlight and focus.". When the author uses daily editing software, if he has a choice, he will set the color to a dark style that does not hurt the eyes. Because this is not easy to visual fatigue, but also highlights the text content. Accounting software is the same reason, I use the most time in their own bookkeeping: 1, after the transaction, 2, before going to bed at night. One of the two periods of light is relatively strong, the other is relatively dark. In this environment, high contrast dark color matching style can better highlight the content itself. So I developed this kind of dark bookkeeping. In addition to optimizing the dark style, I also tried to simplify the elements on the interface as much as possible to make the text content a prominent theme, so as to create a more focused environment for users to keep accounts.

[product function]
Optimized dark theme: carefully configured dark color matching for long-term use.
Stand alone version: data local storage, let you more at ease.
Fast bookkeeping: support gesture, simplify operation steps; integrate the input method of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so that it takes less time to record an account.
Multi ledger support: life, work, travel, baby funds... Each scene can be recorded in a separate account book.
Multi account support: cash, credit card, or virtual currency account can be managed separately.

Multi currency support: support the management and conversion of most international currencies, virtual currencies and their exchange rates.
Revenue and expenditure analysis: provides revenue and expenditure analysis data within the specified date range. Where does every cent go? Who is the flower for? Which account is spent? It's very clear.
Asset trend: provides the change trend of assets and net assets in the date range.
Although the fund transfer is only close to the real situation.
Clean and ad free: I don't want ads to affect the user experience.

### 5/5 — 유로신청 불가능

*2025-12-12*

### 3/5 — Great app but crashes often

*2025-06-18*

App has all the features that I need. Customizable categories, multiple accounts and graphs. It’s very useful. However it crashes every time I use the note feature . If that can get fixed it will be worth 5 stars. Please fix.

### 4/5 — 잘쓰는데 건의

*2021-11-28*

몇달째 가계부 어플 찾고있습니다. 거의 제 맘에 드는 어플을 발견해서 기쁜데.. 몇가지 개선될지요..?
1. 소수점 없애기
2. 천단위 쉼표표시
3. 예산 설정하지 않은 항목에 지출금액을 넣었을때 총예산에 들어가는 것 삭제(적금은 예산 설정안했는데.. 적금 지출금액 입력하니 총예산에서 적금금액만큼 쓴거로 나와서 불편합니다ㅠ)
