Building Vestige – a ritual app for people who feel too much about money.

NSFW

Hi, I’m working solo on a small app called Vestige.

It’s for people who overthink money and everything else – the ones who feel every bill, every paycheck, every “you should be further ahead by now” comment in their body.

Vestige isn’t a budgeting tool or a productivity hack.

It’s more like:

– a tiny altar on your phone

– daily epiphanies about money, burnout and self‑care fatigue

– small rituals that make numbers feel less violent

I’m using this account to share the build and the feelings behind it:

– what money anxiety actually feels like day‑to‑day

– how I’m designing objects, screens and rituals around that feeling

– what it’s like to juggle a slow, emotional project with other work

If you’re also trying to build something while dealing with money stress, burnout or “soft life” guilt, I’d love to hear how it feels on your side too.
