Ever wished you knew how much you were spending *before* you got to the checkout at the store?? I for sure have! And I got fed up with being surprised by the price at the register, so I built this app: SpendFriend.

Illustrative example: an invoice app for independent contractors. Your kit is tailored to the app you choose; this is not its generated content.

Feature spec

Goal: Send a clear invoice after finishing a job.

  • Add a client, line items, a due date, and payment instructions.
  • Preview the total before exporting a PDF.
  • Keep an editable draft if export fails.

Screen plan

Invoice editor: Client at the top, editable line items in the middle, total and preview action at the bottom.

States: Empty draft, validation errors beside each field, exporting, and a retry action that preserves the draft.

Differentiate and validate

Hypothesis: Contractors need faster repeat invoices more than more templates.

First experiment: Test duplicating a previous job with five contractors. Watch where they hesitate before expanding the feature set.

The full kit adds a phased build plan, evidence notes, tool prompts, and implementation guidance. It is a plan for your coding agent, not a finished app.

Usage: Mechanics are fair game; never reuse the original name, branding, assets, or verbatim copy.

App Store description

Ever wished you knew how much you were spending *before* you got to the checkout at the store?? I for sure have! And I got fed up with being surprised by the price at the register, so I built this app: SpendFriend. As you walk through the store, with the Speech to Text feature, you can simply say the item you are purchasing and the cost and it all gets entered for you! I hope you enjoy this feature as much as I have. It will help you set your budget and know how much you are spending and how much is available. Due to strange tax laws around what type of food is/is-not taxable, it doesn't always get it *exactly* right, but the main goal here is to never be surprised by how much that checkout total is going to be again. I hope you enjoy the app and are more informed about how much you are paying *before* you get to checkout! :) NOTE: This app is NOT intended to get you a perfect, or exact number of how much you are going to pay, but it should be very close. I'm always working on improving it's accuracy and always strive to get it as close as possible to that final number. Also, if you'd like to try it out for free, minus all the cool features of an iOS app, check out the original version at https://groceryfriend.app

Build scope

Plan a focused first version with your coding agent. These are planning assumptions, not a delivery guarantee.

Define the first version

Choose one audience and one core workflow. Use the kit to agree on its screens, data, and acceptance criteria before building.

Set boundaries

Decide which secondary features, integrations, and platform support can wait. Your version does not need to reproduce everything in the original.

Check the hard parts

Validate external services, specialist technology, data access, and ongoing costs for your chosen scope.

A reliable timeline needs an agreed scope and a technical check. Ask your agent to estimate the phases in BUILD_PLAN.md after that review.
