As digital banking systems have caused people to shift away from using physical transactions, it became evident that people tend to spend more than they realize.

Budgetty expands and shrinks based on a personal budget like wallets. By allowing users to visualize their budget, Budgetty helps users to manage their finance in a more intuitive and efficient way.

Inspired from this disconnect, Budgetty began with a simple question:
"What if spending felt more real again?"
