Don't Go Broke

A lightweight expense tracker designed around the everyday reality of recording, reviewing and controlling recurring spending.

Context01 / 04

Don't Go Broke is intentionally direct. It avoids complex financial terminology and focuses on helping users see where money goes while the information is still actionable.

01The challenge

Most finance apps ask for too much setup or present more analysis than a user needs. The core interaction had to be quick enough to become a habit.

02The approach

I designed a compact mobile flow with persistent local state, fast entry, recurring-expense visibility, notifications and haptic confirmation.

03The outcome

A focused personal-finance app with a clear behavioural goal: make expense awareness easy enough to sustain.

04What the work covered

Fast expense-entry workflow

Persistent local state

Recurring expense review

Notifications and haptics
