// The problem

Money Doesn't Feel Real Anymore.

Digital payments have made spending invisible. We tap, swipe, and subscribe without ever feeling the impact. Traditional budgeting apps try to solve this with spreadsheets and charts — but a spreadsheet you have to open is a spreadsheet you'll ignore. CoinHUD takes a different approach. It borrows from the psychology of gaming to make your financial state feel tangible and ever-present.

// The Solution

Your Finances, Always In Frame.

CoinHUD lives in your menu bar like a game HUD — a constant, glanceable readout of where you stand. No app to open, no login ritual. Just your money, visible, the way a health bar is always visible in a game.

Animated coin counters that tick up and down in real time, making every transaction feel tangible instead of invisible.

// My role

Everything.

CoinHUD is a solo project from concept to App Store. I identified the problem, researched the behavioral psychology behind it, designed the UI in Figma, built it in SwiftUI, and designed the landing page and marketing assets.
