Lightweight, focused finance manager for OS X

Hey, I'm John!

At work, I specialize in native app development for iOS and Android. As a hobby, I develop apps and tools for macOS and tinker with a wide variety of things.

conto's Issues

Modernize UI, Part I

Conto's UI is in need of a facelift. When it was originally written, there wasn't much of a clear aesthetic for third-party Mac apps to follow, but that has since changed and Conto would benefit from streamlining and cleanup.

The UI refactor will occur in two parts:

1. A moderate revision that cleans up the app's design as much as easily possible when targeting OS X 10.4. This will be featured in version 1.5.0.
2. A more in-depth continuation of part 1 possible only with widespread code changes targeting modern OS X (10.7+). This will be featured in version 2.0.0.

Old-style localization causes warnings

Several warnings are shown in Xcode due to changes in how localized documentation is handled. This should be fixed by transitioning to base localization.

Default formats for currency, date, etc do not respect system locale

At the moment, Conto ships with a static set of defaults settings that requires the user to manually edit them to match their locale. It should instead retrieve these settings from the system and offer the user an easy way to switch between system settings and custom settings.

Out of bounds issues and unsafe code

There are several places where code is either unsafe or will exceed bounds due to lack of checks. This should be fixed.

Convert to ARC

The project currently uses old-style retain/release calls, which can be a serious impediment to development speed and are generally inconvenient. Conversion to ARC should occur in the same release that drops support for versions of OS X <10.7, as ARC is fully supported only on 10.7+.
