The Challenge
Budgeting apps too complex to stick with
The personal finance app market is dominated by overly complex tools. Most users abandon budgeting apps within a week due to logging friction.
- Complex onboarding putting users off before the first transaction
- Too many features obscuring the core use case
- Poor visual feedback on spending patterns
- No quick-entry option for on-the-go expense logging
The Solution

- Beautiful categorised pie and bar charts updated in real time
- Node.js + MongoDB backend for fast cloud sync
- Monthly budget alerts via push notifications
The Result
