Why I built it

I love spending money. My wallet doesn't. Every budget app wanted my bank details, so I built a private one instead.

How it plays

Every purchase pulls a block out of a tower of cash. Spend too fast and it wobbles.

Smart, but private

Every Apple Pay payment logs itself, and my bank details never leave the phone.
