My Approach
The idea behind WalletZen was simple: create a finance app that feels calm, intuitive, and genuinely enjoyable to use. Most expense trackers feel cluttered and technical—WalletZen was built to do the opposite. I wanted to design an experience that gives users a sense of control and serenity while managing their finances, making the process both beautiful and practical.
Vision and Innovation
My vision for WalletZen was to merge clarity, design, and functionality into one cohesive experience. The app introduces:
Minimalist Zen UI – A tranquil, distraction-free design focused on clarity and flow.
Instant Expense Tracking – Quick add options that make logging transactions effortless.
Category Insights – Simple, meaningful analytics that help users understand their spending.
Goal-Oriented Budgeting – A motivating system to stay on track with personal financial goals.
WalletZen redefines what a personal finance app can be—it’s not just a tool, it’s a lifestyle companion for mindful money management.
Identifying Unique Challenges
The main challenge was balancing simplicity with capability. Many finance apps either overwhelm users with complexity or oversimplify key insights. I wanted WalletZen to sit perfectly in between—powerful enough to provide depth, yet minimal enough to feel peaceful.
Other challenges included:
Designing a UI that feels calm yet informative.
Optimizing SwiftUI animations for smooth transitions.
Building a data model that syncs seamlessly while keeping the app lightweight.
Resolving Complex Problems
To achieve this balance, I implemented:
SwiftUI’s native animation system for a fluid, meditative user experience.
Core Data integration for fast, reliable local storage.
Custom visual hierarchy to highlight what truly matters: spending awareness.
Gesture-based controls for effortless navigation and quick expense input.
User-Centric Design
WalletZen was designed around the principle of mindful usability:
Adaptive Themes – Light and dark modes with calming color palettes.
Simplified Dashboard – A single, elegant view showing all key financial data.

Every detail in WalletZen serves a purpose—helping users stay focused, not stressed.
