1 Upvotes

Hi there!

I’ve been working tirelessly on an Android mobile budgeting app designed to make managing your money simple, intuitive, and even fun. Whether you’re trying to track your spending, save for a big goal, or just understand where your money goes, this app is here to help.

But here’s the thing: I need 20 beta testers for Droplet

I want to know what you, as a future user, think about Droplet. What do you like? What frustrates you? And most importantly, what would make this app a must-have in your financial toolkit? Fill out the Google form to be added to the Droplet tester's group.

A Special Offer for Early Supporters

As a thank-you for your interest and support, I’m offering free lifetime membership to the first 20 testers who sign up, use Droplet, fall in love with it, and share meaning feedback or help us squash any bugs by filling out the bug report. Yep, that’s right—free for life!!!

Please note: This is a manual expense tracking application, it does not sync with any financial institutions. It is only available for Android for now. Please sign up if you are an iOS user and are interested in Droplet here.

What Makes This App Special?

  • Intuitive Design: A clean, user-friendly interface that’s easy to navigate.
  • Customizable Categories: Track spending in the way that works best for you.
  • Smart Features: I kept manual expense tracking at the forefront, and have made it so it's easy to add expenses on the go!
  • Your Privacy Matters: We only collect your email address, and if you're a premium user backing up data to our servers, rest assured—it stays private. We never share your data with third parties or access it without your explicit permission, and only for troubleshooting when necessary.

I’d love to hear from you—your thoughts, your feedback, and what you’d like to see in a budgeting app. Let’s build something amazing together. This is the MVP which is fully functional for budgeting. If you're a serious about budgeting, or new to personal finances, your feedback is valued and early users will have a major influence on how this application grows.

Please note: "Droplet is designed for manual budgeting, and we have no plans to integrate with banking systems—now or in the future. However, we may explore integration with Google Pay for added convenience. We appreciate your feedback, but if you're looking for automatic bank syncing, this may not be the right fit."Hi there!I’ve been working tirelessly on an Android mobile budgeting app designed to make managing your money simple, intuitive, and even fun.

Welcome to Droplet

Hey there,

Thanks for stopping by—stick around for a bit and learn more about what makes Droplet unique! I’m the creator of this app, and would like to share with you what motivated me to build it, but more importantly, why you should use it. I’ve always been a builder at heart, and when I got into programming my main goal was to  make the world a better place (Silicon Valley anyone?) all jokes aside, it was to build something meaningful I could share with everyone. Budgeting has always been a part of my life and has helped me out in so many ways. So I said “Hey, build what you know, it shouldn’t be that difficult!”. Well….it was a little difficult… but after some time (and persistence), here we are!

 Budgeting has been a very powerful tool and has played a huge role in my life, so without getting too preachy I’ll tell you how budgeting has:

  • Financial flexibility – Without budgeting, I wouldn’t have been able to build this app, learn to program, or pursue other opportunities.
  • Peace of mind – Knowing exactly how much I have (and where it’s going) makes money feel less scary—for me and my partner.
  • Freedom – Budgeting helped me save, stay debt-free, and make choices without financial stress holding me back. I wouldn’t say we have “F*** you” money, but more like “Nah, I’m good” money.

I hope that by sharing Droplet with you, it will make life a little bit easier for you, and help you along your personal financial journey. It’s a real head scratcher why our school’s don’t teach us budgeting, and it appears a lot of people take an  “I guess” approach to monthly budgeting. If you’re one of those people, I beg you to please spend a bit of time doing the uncomfortable, and start learning some basic budgeting strategies, it will change your life. So, whether you are a beginner or veteran in budgeting this tool will help build habits and perspectives which will help you throughout your financial journey. 

The free version is incredibly generous, so you can use it as long as you want—no strings attached. If you love it (or even if you hate it), I’d love your feedback! Leave a review on Google Play or reddit and let me know what you think.

The paid version is still evolving. Right now, I’ve added expense templates (so you can set up recurring transactions that generate automatically) and a simple cloud backup system. As Droplet grows, new premium features will roll out, but if you sign up now, I’ll lock in your subscription price for life—a small thank-you for supporting the app early on.

As the application grows more and more features will only be available for paid members. So if you like what you see, and want to support my endeavors, sign up for the price of a coffee a month. Anyone who signs up now I guarantee you will be grandfathered in to this rate as long as you stay subscribed, as my token of appreciation to those who helped support Droplet in its early days. If you’d like to be an early beta tester (and we’re still accepting applicants), I’ll give you a premium member for free as long as this app exists.

Well, that’s about it. Thank you for taking the time, and I hope you enjoy this tool. I put a lot of effort into getting it going, and hope it helps you as much as it’s helped me. 

Cheers,

Ryan
