Fold Money App Redesign

Unclear information hierarchy, overwhelming transaction and category screens, buried analytics, confusing credit-card flows with mismatched numbers, and an overall experience that simply demanded too much mental effort.

I validated my own frustrations through peer interviews, studied competitors like CRED, Revolut, Monzo and Jupiter, then iterated through feedback — prioritising depth on the flows that mattered most over a full rebuild.

The balance card was full of visual noise. I stripped the non-essentials, set a clear hierarchy and reduced visual weight to match how people actually scan their money.

Raw numbers and unfamiliar jargon were replaced with visual comparisons, so patterns are recognisable at a glance — no mental math required.

Fragmented, inconsistent category views became one predictable hierarchy — Overview → Categories → Transactions → Details — that keeps your selected time period and shows totals with trends.

Monthly grouping and heavy styling gave way to clean daily grouping, with search and filter always available instead of appearing inconsistently.

Instead of mixing billing cycles and forcing manual math, the redesign separates current spending, previous dues and outstanding balance by what you actually need at each stage of the cycle.

There were no vanity metrics — this was a personal project — but the feedback was consistent: “this finally makes sense,” and people realising just how mentally tiring finance apps had felt until the friction was gone.
