Food Expense Tracking App

I’m building “Money & Food,” a mobile app whose single focus is keeping a tight eye on what people spend on food. Every purchase should flow in automatically from linked bank or card accounts, get tagged as groceries, restaurants, or takeaway, and then roll up into a clear dashboard that shows daily, weekly, and monthly totals against the user’s chosen budget.

I need an MVP that works on both iOS and Android (Flutter or React Native preferred, though native proposals are welcome). Security is paramount, so plan on an open-banking or Plaid-style integration and spell out how credentials stay encrypted end-to-end. Users must be able to re-categorize items, set or adjust budgets, and receive push alerts when limits are close.

Deliverables
• Approved UI/UX mock-ups
• Mobile app with live bank/card transaction import limited to food-related spending
• Budget engine with configurable alerts and simple charts
• Source code, build instructions, and a brief user guide

Acceptance criteria: at least one sandbox banking API feeds data into the app; food transactions display correctly; budgets trigger test notifications; builds are available through TestFlight or Google’s internal test track.
