Hello! I hope everyone is having a nice day.
BACKGROUND
I am a long time Android user on the phone, and quite new when it comes to building Android apps. I started working on a couple of ideas last year and the experience has been surprisingly pleasant. Using Android Studio and Jetpack Compose was a lot better than the last time I gave it a shot, probably close to 10 years ago.
My first app is quite simple, but solves its problem well. It is called Salary Counter RT. It counts your salary in real-time, so you can open the app when you're at work, and see the money coming in. It shows how much you have earned so far today, this week, and this month. It also shows the remaining days until payday, which I personally find quite useful.
Actually I plan to add an input field where you can enter how much you have in your spending account, and it will show you how much you can spend on average for the remaining days.
What I like about the app is watching the animated numbers. Quite satisfying! I recently added support for decimals, which should come in handy in countries with currencies like Euro or USD.
The idea of the app is basically to build financial awareness. To visualize how much your time is worth. Is that coffee and bun you have planned to buy for lunch really worth it, when you see how long it takes to earn what it costs?
It also contains a budget tab that divides your salary in three categories: needs, wants, and savings. It uses the 50/30/20 "rule" that recommends 50 % on necessities, 30 % on things you enjoy, and 20 % on saving for your future. I hope it provides some insight. Perhaps you see that your needs are a bit high, or that you are spending quite a lot on wants, and that maybe some of it could go into savings.
So yeah, it might seem like a gimmick app at first, but I hope it will prove valuable to some of you. Its existence is a well kept secret. It has about 20 active users worldwide. Talking with people many like the idea, but quite a lot of them are on the wrong OS. Hopefully it will reach the right people through this forum.
DETAILS
The app is free, it contains one ad (through Google AdMob) and it requires zero permissions. No data leaves your phone.
Please give it a try and feel free to give me some feedback here or on the Play Store.
