SnyderSpend
AI-powered personal finance iOS app that makes expense tracking effortless and genuinely insightful. Every transaction is auto-categorised the moment it is logged,no manual tagging, no dropdowns,using an AI classification layer that learns from your spending patterns over time. A dedicated AI Insights engine analyses your actual data to surface personalised observations: it flags unusual spikes, predicts end-of-month balances, identifies recurring subscriptions you might have forgotten, and surfaces concrete saving opportunities tailored to your habits. All data syncs in real time across devices via Firestore, with Firebase Auth securing every session, so your financial picture is always up to date whether you switch phones or log in on a new device. Monthly and weekly dashboards break down spending by category with animated charts, and configurable budget limits fire alerts before you overshoot. The app is built entirely in SwiftUI and adopts Apple's Liquid Glass design language,translucent surfaces, depth-layered cards, and fluid transitions that feel native to iOS 26 from day one.
Snyder News
Offline-first Android news aggregator that pulls from two live APIs simultaneously,deduplicating articles by URL hash before persisting to a local Room database, so the feed stays clean regardless of source overlap. A WorkManager-powered background sync keeps content fresh without draining battery, while Paging 3 delivers smooth infinite scroll through thousands of articles. An on-device NLP pipeline runs on every sync to automatically tag each article by topic and generate a concise AI summary, giving users the gist of any story without leaving the app or making an external API call. Articles are filterable by five live categories,General, Technology, Business, Science, and Sports,and anything worth revisiting can be bookmarked and pulled up instantly from the Saved tab even with no connection. Full reading history is tracked locally via DataStore, and Retrofit + OkHttp handle all network calls with automatic retry and error recovery. The entire UI is built in Jetpack Compose following strict MVVM with Hilt dependency injection, wrapped in a liquid-glass design language: frosted card surfaces, gradient mesh borders, and an aurora background that shifts as you scroll.
