Introducing HoneyDue
Tracking expenses is often seen as a tedious but necessary task. However, what if we could turn this chore into an engaging and enjoyable activity? Enter HoneyDue, an innovative expense tracking app that leverages both AI and gamification to revolutionize personal finance management.
Before diving into the full HoneyDue experience, users are prompted to define budgets for various spending categories. This crucial step not only helps in establishing clear financial boundaries but also personalizes the tracking experience, making it more relevant and effective for each user.
Once budgets are set, users are introduced to the heart of HoneyDue — the Canvas page. This interactive interface transforms expense tracking into a visual and engaging activity. Need to log a transportation expense? Simply tap on the car icon. Grocery shopping? The fridge icon is your go-to. This intuitive design makes expense tracking feel less like a chore and more like a game.
AI-Powered Receipt Scanner
One of HoneyDue’s standout features is its use of artificial intelligence to streamline expense tracking. Users can simply scan their receipts, and HoneyDue’s AI will automatically analyze the spending, categorize it, and add it to the database. This not only saves time but also ensures accuracy, making expense tracking effortless and error-free.
Gamification Features
HoneyDue incorporates several gamification elements to keep users motivated and engaged:
- Achievements: Unlock milestones as you progress on your financial journey.
- Streaks: Build and maintain streaks for consistent expense tracking.
- Badges: Earn badges as recognition for your financial accomplishments.
- Avatars: Personalize your experience with customizable avatars.
These elements transform the routine task of expense tracking into a rewarding and enjoyable experience, encouraging regular use and fostering better financial habits.
The Technology Behind HoneyDue
To deliver this seamless and engaging user experience, HoneyDue leverages a robust tech stack including:
- SwiftUI for the user interface
- SwiftData for local data management
- AVFoundation for receipt scanning
- UIKit for additional UI components
- Combine for reactive programming
- UserNotifications for reminders and alerts
These technologies, coupled with efficient project management using a Kanban board, ensure that HoneyDue remains responsive, reliable, and user-friendly.
