I built a budgeting app that turns your monthly budget into one daily number, would love some honest feedback
This started as a “scratching my own itch” project and then turned into a proper app.
Problem I had: I would set a monthly budget, feel very adult about it, then have no idea if I was actually on track until I looked at my statement near the end of the month.
What I wanted: something that tells me, in plain English, what I can spend today without messing up the month.
So I built Spendaily.
How it works in practice:
• You set your monthly spending limit and pick your currency.
• The app works out how much that is per day.
• When you log an expense, it updates your number for today and tomorrow.
• If you end the day under your number, that surplus can either roll into tomorrow or go towards a named goal (new headphones, trip, whatever).
Technically it is a React Native app with a FastAPI backend and MongoDB, but honestly the interesting part has been getting the behaviour and visuals to feel encouraging instead of guilt heavy.

If you have a minute, I would love thoughts on:
• Does the “one number per day” concept make sense?
• Does the landing page explain it clearly enough?
• Anything that would make you instantly close the app or page.
Happy to share more about the tech stack or monetisation decisions if that is useful to anyone here.
