A quick operator-level summary of what changed.
Problem
A founder wanted to build a privacy-first expense tracking app that works offline without connecting to banks or harvesting user data.
Action
HyperNest embedded founding engineers who built the complete iOS app from scratch using Swift, implementing offline-first architecture with AES-256 encryption.
Outcome
Pocket Clear launched on the App Store in 8 weeks with 100% offline support, free unlimited transactions, and a simple $1/month Pro tier.
The founder wanted to build a simple expense tracker that respects user privacy—no bank connections, no ads, no data harvesting. The app needed to work completely offline while offering optional cloud sync for Pro users.
Our founding engineers built Pocket Clear from scratch using Swift and SwiftUI, with a Core Data backend for offline storage and CloudKit for optional sync.
Pocket Clear launched on the App Store in under 8 weeks, offering a clean alternative to bloated expense tracking apps.
Tools, platforms, and competencies we owned for this engagement.
