Mobile App
Monova
A personal finance app designed to make money management feel effortless for first-time earners and early-career professionals.
The Challenge
A finance app people would actually keep using
Existing personal finance apps were built for people who already understood money. Monova's target users were first-time earners, early-career professionals who found most finance apps overwhelming, clinical, and anxiety-inducing.
The product needed to be approachable enough for someone managing a salary for the first time, while still powerful enough to grow with them as their financial life became more complex. Balancing those two things without compromise was the central design problem.
The Approach
Simplicity first. Depth when needed.
We spent three weeks on research before opening a design tool. User interviews revealed that the biggest friction wasn't a lack of features. It was the feeling of being judged by an app every time you opened it. The design language we developed was deliberately warm and low-pressure.
Progressive disclosure became a core interaction principle: show users only what they need right now, and surface complexity only when they ask for it. The development team began building in week four, working from the design system in parallel so both iOS and Android shipped with full visual parity.

FAQs
Do you offer a free consultation before I commit to anything?
Yes. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute video call where we learn about your project, answer your questions, and figure out the best approach together. No obligation, no sales pressure. Just an honest conversation to see if we're the right fit.
Can I get a custom plan tailored to my specific project?
Absolutely. Our monthly plans work well for ongoing needs, but many clients come to us with unique scopes that don't fit a standard package. We'll put together a custom proposal based on exactly what your project requires, including scope, timeline, and a fixed price.
How will I know what's happening with my project at each stage?
Every client gets access to a dedicated project board where progress, decisions, and deliverables are tracked in real time. We share updates at each milestone and never move forward on anything significant without your sign-off. You'll never need to chase us for information.
Can I order a one-time service instead of a monthly plan?
Yes. Not every project needs an ongoing engagement. If you need a brand identity, a website, a mobile app, or any other defined piece of work, we scope it as a one-time project with a clear deliverable list, a fixed price, and a realistic timeline.
What if I'm not satisfied with the deliverables?
We build revision cycles into every project so your feedback shapes the work at each stage, not just at the end. If something isn't right, we fix it. We'd rather redo the work than leave a client unsatisfied, and our refund policy is clearly outlined if things don't work out.
How do you handle confidential project information?
We treat every project as strictly confidential. We're happy to sign an NDA before any sensitive details are shared, and your information stays only with the team assigned to your project.
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines vary based on scope. A brand identity typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, a web development project runs 4 to 12 weeks, and a mobile application usually takes 8 to 16 weeks. We share a detailed timeline during the proposal stage so there are no surprises.
Do you offer support after the project is delivered?
Yes. After launch we stay available for questions, fixes, and future development. Clients on a monthly plan have ongoing support built in. For one-time projects, we offer post-launch support and are always reachable for follow-up work.
