Hey r/SideProject, Most modern personal finance applications follow the same pattern: sterile gray dashboards, mandatory account creation, background tracking SDKs, and recurring subscription paywalls just to log daily expenses. I wanted something tactile, structured, and strictly private, so I built Pawdit. --- ### What Makes Pawdit Different * **100% Free Core and Zero Ads:** The core app is completely free to download and use. There are no full-screen video ads, banner placements, or paywalled core tracking features. * **100% Offline and Private:** Zero cloud databases, zero login screens, and zero telemetry or analytics SDKs. Financial logs stay exclusively on local device storage. * **Taxes the Auditor:** Spending discipline is overseen by Taxes, a British Shorthair character who monitors transactions with deadpan behavioral feedback. * **Cat Math Engine:** Automatically translates currency amounts into equivalent hours of work and cans of tuna ($42 = 2h 48m of labor = 19 tuna cans). * **The 10-Second Reality Check:** Discretionary purchases trigger a mandatory cooling pause. Walking away saves 100% and awards Goldfish Treats; purchasing anyway deducts one of nine monthly lives. * **Sanctuary Habitat:** Treats earned through discipline are used to unlock furnishings for Taxes's room. Depleting all nine lives causes Taxes to retreat into an empty cardboard box until the next cycle. --- ### Development Updates & Visual Progress (Main Hub) UI animations, asset design, and technical updates are documented on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dermius.paws/ --- ### Android Closed Beta Access (Free) Pawdit is currently running a Closed Beta on Google Play. If you would like early access to test the build and share feedback: **Join the Google Group:** https://groups.google.com/g/pawdit-testers The direct Google Play Store testing access link is available inside the group announcement. I welcome any feedback on the offline architecture, interface ergonomics, and behavioral mechanics.   submitted by   /u/Dermius1997 [link]   [comments]
