Introduction

Managing money can be complicated. But it becomes easier when you can keep track of what you earn and spend. That's why I created a simple Budget Tracker App. This tool helps you understand where your money comes from and where it goes.

How It’s Made

I used React to build this app. React is a tool that helps make websites interactive and easy to use. With the help of React’s features, the Budget Tracker App updates in real time. That means the moment you input your income or expense, you can see the changes.

What It Does

Here’s what you can do with the Budget Tracker App:

1. Record Your Expenses: You can quickly add any costs and sort them into categories. This way, you can see exactly how you’re spending your money.

2. Track Your Income: You can also note down your earnings. This feature helps you see the whole picture of your money, both coming in and going out.

3. Get Insights Instantly: As soon as you enter your data, the app updates. You get immediate insights into your financial situation.

How It Works

The app uses React’s features to work quickly and show your financial data in real time. It's designed to be easy to use, with a clear layout and design.

For example, say you buy a book for $20 and record this expense in the app. The app immediately updates your total budget. This instant update is possible because of how the app is built, making tracking your money fast and easy.

What I Learned

Building this app taught me a lot. I learned more about coding and how to make an app user-friendly. The experience showed me how technology can make managing money simpler and more straightforward.

What’s Next

I plan to add more features to the app. Future versions might include automated insights to help you understand your money better, connections to bank accounts for automatic tracking, and visual tools to make your financial trends easy to see and understand.

Conclusion

Creating the Budget Tracker App was a valuable experience. It reinforced my skills and showed me the positive impact of technology on managing personal finances. This app is designed to make tracking income and expenses straightforward and hassle-free, helping users to better manage their financial lives.
