A personal finance app I designed and built from scratch using AI-assisted development with Claude. I used to track my money in spreadsheets, and wanted a tool I would actually enjoy opening every day.

The visual concept draws from supermarket flyers and paper receipts, where everyday money really shows up. An editorial italic serif meets a yellow sale tag, and that tension shapes the whole product. Logging an expense feels like printing a receipt. Importing a bank statement means dropping a screenshot “at the checkout”, where AI reads it for you to review.

Beyond the product itself, this project was an opportunity to explore a new way of working: using AI throughout the development process to turn product and interaction ideas into a working application, from initial implementation to iteration and refinement.
The dashboard answers three questions at a glance: how much you have, how much will be left, and how much you can spend per day.
