FinEase
A personal finance manager for expenses, budgets and savings goals.
A full-stack finance tracker where the interface is the product: entry forms, category breakdowns and budget progress are the three screens that matter, and they are the three I spent the most time on.
- Role
- Sole developer, working from the Programming Hero full-stack track.
- Source status
- Reported — The repository is public and the deployment is live, so the landing page and sign-in flow can be checked directly. I have not written a deep case study here because I would be describing my own earlier coursework rather than a decision I would defend today.

FinEase began as the capstone project for my full-stack coursework: a personal finance manager where a person records what they spend, sets a budget against a category, and watches the month close. The coursework supplied the structure. What I cared about was making three screens feel calm, because a finance tool that makes you feel anxious is a finance tool nobody keeps using.
What it does
The application covers the loop that matters for tracking money day to day.
Expense entry
Recording an amount against a category, which is the action the whole application exists to support.
Budget planning
Setting a limit per category and seeing how much of it has been consumed.
Financial analytics
Charts summarising spending over time, rendered with Chart.js.
Goal setting
Tracking a savings target separately from monthly spending.
