About the service
I develop mobile applications for a specific task — tracking water, gas and electricity meter readings, not a universal financial tracker with meter function added. For me this is a separate class of product: its own logic for storing readings for each device, its own reminder rhythm tied to data submission date, and an interface understandable to someone who opens the app once a month, not every day.
The foundation is two ways to enter a reading: photograph the meter and get digits recognized automatically, or enter the value manually if the meter screen is poorly lit or fogged. Both options go into a single history, so the user can switch between them without losing data. Then I build a clear reading history by months — with consumption charts for each meter and each resource type — and a reminder module that notifies in advance of the approaching data submission date so you don't get calculated based on average.
I take on the entire cycle: interface, digit recognition module from photo, data storage, push notifications, app store publication. The package includes multiple meters on one account, editing submitted readings, history export and reminder time settings. On request I add multiple users for one apartment or cost calculation by tariff.
