Why local, not cloud?

Most modern accounting systems store your financial data on remote cloud servers. That can be convenient, but it also means reliance on third-party infrastructure and extra GDPR considerations.

DARITHMA takes a different path. It is installed on your own Windows computer and stores all data in a local PostgreSQL database on that machine. Nothing is uploaded or synced to external servers — you decide where your backups live.

DARITHMA is designed to support your accountant — it doesn't replace them. You keep clean, well-structured records locally, and share clear reports whenever they're needed.

Your data stays yours (no cloud storage). Works even offline. Predictable performance. Backups on your schedule. Simpler privacy posture. No lock-in surprises.
Ownership

Your data stays yours.

With cloud accounting, your books live on someone else's servers. With DARITHMA they live on your own machine — no third-party storage, and never any "where is my data hosted?" uncertainty. What you record stays with you.

  • All records held in a local database on your PC
  • Nothing uploaded or synced to external servers
  • No third parties holding copies of your financials
  • You control who can open the machine and the files
  • Clear, simple answer to "where is my data?"
Always available

Works even when the internet doesn't.

Outages, throttling and provider downtime don't stop your day. Because DARITHMA runs locally, invoicing, posting and reporting keep working whether or not you have a connection — you're never locked out of your own books.

  • Full daily operation with no internet needed
  • Keep invoicing and posting during outages
  • No dependence on a provider staying online
  • Internet only needed for install, licence and updates
  • Ideal for sites with slow or unreliable connections
Speed & reliability

Predictable, local-speed performance.

Reports, searches and posting all run on your own machine — not across a shared network to a distant server. That means fast, consistent response every time, with no mystery slowdowns caused by someone else's traffic.

  • Reports and searches run at local machine speed
  • No lag from shared cloud tenancy or busy servers
  • Consistent response whatever the time of day
  • Large ledgers stay responsive on modest hardware
  • Performance you can rely on at month-end crunch
You're in control

Backups on your schedule.

You decide exactly how and where your data is backed up — an external drive, an office NAS, or secure storage you control. No one else dictates retention, and you can restore on your own terms whenever you need to.

  • Back up to external drive, office NAS or secure storage
  • Choose your own schedule and retention
  • Built-in tools to create and restore backups
  • Move to a new PC and restore your latest backup
  • No reliance on a provider's backup policy
Privacy by design

A simpler privacy posture.

Every extra party that touches your data is another risk to manage. Keeping everything local means fewer parties involved, clearer responsibility for access and retention, and a much simpler story when it comes to GDPR and confidentiality.

  • Fewer third parties means fewer points of exposure
  • Clear responsibility for access and retention
  • A simpler GDPR and confidentiality story
  • Sensitive financials never leave your premises
  • You decide exactly who can see the data
No lock-in

No lock-in surprises.

No mandatory monthly subscription, no sudden plan changes, and no features quietly locked behind a higher tier. You buy a perpetual licence, your data stays in a standard local database, and you're never held hostage to keep working.

  • Perpetual licence — no forced monthly subscription
  • No sudden price hikes or plan changes
  • No features held back behind higher tiers
  • Your data stays in a standard local database
  • Keep working on your terms, indefinitely
