Recurring Expense Tracker

Recurring Expense Tracker

Purpose & Core Concept

• A dedicated tool for monitoring all regular financial outflows such as rent, utilities, insurance premiums, streaming services, gym memberships, and any other repeat payments.

• Helps users visualize their monthly cash commitments, identify patterns, and plan budgets more effectively.

Key Features

• Simple Entry Workflow – Add a new recurring expense in three steps: name, amount, and recurrence interval (weekly, bi‑weekly, monthly, yearly).

• Automatic Calendar Integration – The app generates future payment dates and marks them on an internal calendar view.

• Visual Summaries – Pie‑chart and bar‑graph widgets display the proportion of each category and total recurring spend per month.

• Custom Categories & Tags – Users can create personalized categories (e.g., “Household”, “Transportation”) and attach tags for finer filtering.

• Reminder Notifications – Configurable alerts remind you a few days before a payment is due, reducing the risk of missed deadlines.

• Data Export – Export the entire expense list to CSV or JSON for external analysis or backup.

Technology Stack

• Kotlin Multiplatform – Shared business logic across Android and iOS, reducing duplication and ensuring consistent behavior.

• Material You Design – Dynamic color theming that adapts to the device’s system palette, providing a modern, personalized UI.

• Coroutines & Flow – Reactive data handling for smooth UI updates without blocking the main thread.

• SQLite with SQLDelight – Lightweight local storage guaranteeing offline access and fast queries.

User Experience Principles

• Minimalist Interface – Clean screens with ample whitespace, focusing attention on essential information.

• Intuitive Navigation – Bottom navigation bar for quick access to Dashboard, Calendar, and Settings.

• Accessibility First – Large touch targets, content descriptions, and scalable fonts for users with diverse needs.
