Problem
Planning a cross-country move to New York is not one project. It's six or seven running in parallel on different timelines: apartment hunting, budget tracking, job searching, neighborhood research, packing logistics, utility transfers, lease overlaps. Every existing tool I found addressed one of those in isolation. Nothing handled the fact that they all affect each other simultaneously.
Constraint
Two people coordinating the move meant the system had to support shared visibility without overcomplicating things. I needed something that showed the full picture at a glance. Not a Notion doc with eighteen linked databases, but a single dashboard where you could see budget health, task progress, apartment comparisons, and emotional state all in one place. Yes, emotional state. Moves are stressful.
Solution
A full-stack life management app with nine views: a dashboard with stat cards and next actions, a budget tracker with category breakdowns and progress bars, a payout planner with interactive allocation sliders, a listings kanban for apartment hunting, a task manager with area filtering and priority tagging, a decision log, a paperwork tracker, a vibe check (dual mood sliders with a 30-day trend chart), and a settings panel. Pre-populated with realistic sample data so it reads as a tool in active use.
