Budgey is a gamified monthly budgetting app that helps users keep track and visualize their frivolous spending.
We are currently looking to convert this app into a mobile application via Apache's Cordova. In the meantime, when viewing this app in the browser please do so in mobile view.
During bootcamp most of our time was spent coding at Lighthouse Labs, and this left us with very little time to meal prep or cook at home. As a consequence our Ritual, McDonald's and Dollar Store bills quickly raked up. This was our inspiration for creating an app that could easily convey to us how much money we were spending per day/month and how much we could actually spend based on our monthly incomes (read limited monthly income).

- Clear break down of spending: Users' monthly budget is further broken down to a daily budget.
- Side goals: Saving for a trip? A new phone? Users can add side goals and Budgey will re-analyze their daily progress to cover for those side goals.
- Analytics: Users can view their monthly breakdown based on categories, compare their current spending with their previous months', as well as compare budget trends throughout the year.
- Gamified: Users lose health points when they don't meet their monthly budget and earn coins when they do. They can purchase potions to revive their health and earn badges when they've met their budget for more than 1 month.
