Personal build

SpendZilla

A budget tracker with something to say.

I designed and built it end to end

I kept earning more and saving less, so I built a budget app that gets harder to ignore.

My contribution

SpendZilla tracks spending against a budget, calls out overspending and helps draft a budget proposal I can edit. Its increasingly cheeky warnings are part of the experience.

What this shows

I designed and built it for my own finances. I am its only user, and I use it daily.

All financial figures shown are illustrative.
