Data

The database is stored locally in platform-specific locations:

• Linux: ~/.local/share/com.spent.app/spent.db
• Windows: %APPDATA%\com.spent.app\spent.db (typically C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\com.spent.app\spent.db)
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/com.spent.app/spent.db

Money is stored as integers (cents) to avoid floating-point issues.

Thank you to the amazing people that star this project!
