FinSight 💰📊

Your finances, wrapped.

Inspiration

Managing personal finances can feel overwhelming and boring. We wanted to transform the way people engage with their spending data by taking inspiration from Spotify Wrapped—turning dry financial information into an exciting, shareable, end-of-year experience that actually motivates people to understand their money habits.

What it does

FinSight connects to your bank accounts and transforms your transaction history into a "Spotify Wrapped"-style financial breakdown. Users can see their year in review:

Total earnings and spending
Top merchants and biggest purchase categories
Spending patterns and streaks
Personalized insights and highlights

The app presents this data through engaging visualizations and shareable cards that make budgeting feel less like a chore and more like a celebration of financial awareness.
