ZENI - Money Saving Application​​​​​​​

  • Natasha Mitchell

Zeni is a savings and money management app allowing users to set goals, track and categorise transactions and analyse spending. The project was developed in response to the 2020 RSA challenge, asking designers to develop methods enabling households and families to be more economically secure. The app gamifies money management by staging conscience battles, mirroring emotions often faced whilst shopping; the good angel ‘Angelo’ advocates saving and the bad angel ‘Lucifer’ tempts spending. Users control the strength of the angels depending on saving requirements; how much one needs to save vs how much one deserves a treat.
