Why I built MoMoFi

The idea started the first time I got paid.

Not the job. The paycheck. That specific moment when you look at what landed in your account and realise you're now responsible for knowing where all of it goes. I was good at earning. I was less good at the rest.

So I started looking for a tool. Something that could hold everything in one place: accounts, budgets, goals, debt. Something that gave me an honest picture of where I actually stood. Not a credit score. Not a bank balance. A real picture.

I tried the apps that existed. Some were close. None were quite right. Some treated every user like they were starting from scratch with a single bank account and no one else to think about. Others were powerful but built for finance professionals, not real households. None of them thought about the whole picture: the individual trying to build real habits, the couple sharing some bills but keeping other things separate, the teenager who needs to learn the basics before the stakes get real.

I kept a note. Build this yourself someday.

Someday meant when I had the time, the resources, and most importantly, enough experience managing my own finances to actually know what the tool needed to do. I'd been living with the problem long enough that I understood not just the features, but the feelings. The end-of-month surprise. The goal you can see but never seem to reach. The debt with no finish line.

When I finally sat down to build it, I wasn't designing for a market. I was building the thing I needed.

I still use MoMoFi to run my own household. Every feature in the app exists because I ran into the problem it solves. Every design decision reflects something I needed in order to actually understand my money, not just see it.

That's what MoMoFi is. Not a startup chasing a market. A tool, built by someone who needed it, for people who need the same thing.

If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
