The challenge
What needed solving.
Bank statements give you pages of numbers, not answers. Most budgeting apps ask you to type every expense by hand, and many people do not feel safe handing a statement to a stranger's server.
I wanted a tool that works the way many people already pay: by bank transfer, with a short remark typed on each one.
What I built
The parts that matter.
Upload a statement, get a clear picture
PDF, Excel and CSV statements are read in the browser. Spending is sorted by the remarks people typed on their transfers.
Private by design
The statement is read on the device and never uploaded. Sign-in is optional and only syncs totals, plans and limits.
Plain language, no jargon
Wording follows what people already see in their banking apps. No accounting terms.
Plans that fit real life
A 50/30/20 guide, spending limits and a rent savings planner that divides yearly rent across the months you have to save.
A month told as a story
Replay my month turns the numbers into a short, shareable summary.
Designed to bring people back
A month-end reminder, a returning-user dashboard and a calm reminder bar.
Decisions behind it
The brand is a rising loop made of spending bars, in a bold green with a pink and amber accent. It was chosen from several logo options, with contrast checked so white text stays readable. Feedback goes straight to a spreadsheet with an email alert, so improvements come from real users.
The screens
Take a closer look.
Screens show an example month. The app opens blank for real users. Select any image to enlarge it.
