SaveUp Finance Mobile App
A concept app that merges budgeting, savings and job search in one place
SaveUp is a concept project I took on myself: one mobile app that brings savings goals, budgeting and job search together, so people can get their money in order while they work on their career. I wanted it to feel simple and calm, not overwhelming.
Study the Competition, Then Outdo It
Since this was a concept, the research had to carry it. I audited the big investing and banking apps (Citizens Bank, Fidelity, Bank of America and others), looking at their onboarding, how they organize information, and where they lose everyday users. What I found shaped every decision after that. I used Jira to rank features and track each round of changes.
The Problem
Most people use one tool to budget, another to save and another to job hunt. Bouncing between them makes it hard to keep momentum, especially between jobs. A lot of these apps also feel overwhelming or leave you guessing, so setting goals and sticking to them is harder than it should be.
The Solution
SaveUp puts savings goals, budgeting and career support in one place, so there's nothing to juggle. Simple goal tracking and budget views sit right next to job search, which makes it easier to stay motivated and make good calls, especially during a career change.
