A reusable starting point for apps

PennyWise Budget is a curated DriftLess template for a personal budget dashboard. Personal-finance app landing. Dark forest-green palette, Sora display, hero with mock budget dashboard (KPIs + recent-transactions grouped by category).

When you click Use template, DriftLess copies the golden workspace into a new project and opens the unchanged preview first. The writer then edits the existing files in remix-modify mode, which keeps changes targeted to budget categories, financial tone, savings model, user segment, and alert workflows.
