Overview
Budgeteze Mobile – Cross-Platform Personal-Finance App (In Development). Budgeteze already makes budgeting simple on the web. The mobile app extends that platform so users can monitor spending and tweak budgets on the go.
Apps By TAP is building the app with .NET MAUI, so a single C# and XAML codebase delivers a native-feeling experience on both iOS and Android, backed by the same Azure services that power the web product.
The Challenge
- Real-time sync – changes made on a phone must appear instantly on the web dashboard, and vice versa.
- Native feel across devices – the UI has to look right on iPhone and Android while sharing one codebase.
- Secure, low-friction login – the app must support short-lived tokens without re-prompting for Plaid or Stripe credentials.
Our Approach
Unified MAUI core
A single project targets Android and iOS. Platform-specific renderers add native touches such as haptic feedback and dynamic shortcuts, so each platform feels at home without duplicating business logic.
Encrypted local cache
A LiteDB-style local store protects transaction data with AES-256 encryption, so users can review their budgets offline without exposing sensitive data.
Progressive rollouts
Weekly builds are distributed to an internal user ring for rapid feedback, and new features are gated behind feature flags so they can be turned on gradually.
Technology Stack
- C#, .NET MAUI and XAML – one codebase for iOS and Android. This is the core of our mobile app development service.
- Azure App Service and Azure Cosmos DB – the same cloud back end as the Budgeteze web app, so data stays in sync. See our cloud solutions.
- Plaid Mobile SDK – secure bank connectivity on the device.
- Stripe In-App Billing – subscription management.
- Azure DevOps CI/CD – automated builds for every release ring.
Roadmap Highlights
- MVP (Q4 2025) – view budgets, auto-categorize transactions, quick add expense.
- Phase 2 – push notifications for overspending alerts and upcoming bill reminders.
- Phase 3 – tap-to-pay envelope funding and real-time family sharing.
Results & Impact
Early alpha testers already report the app “makes daily check-ins effortless,” reinforcing Budgeteze’s mission to remove friction from personal finance.
