The Problem


In Israel, paying for household services means juggling multiple websites, formats, deadlines, and logins, one for water, another for electricity, another for city taxes.


It’s not just inconvenient; it creates confusion, missed payments, and mental fatigue. People aren’t failing to manage their money; the system is failing to help them.

Project Goal


Uno was designed to centralize domestic bills and give people a clear, real-time view of what they owe, when, and why.


The goal: reduce friction, bring clarity, and help users stay on top of their financial responsibilities without feeling overwhelmed.

User Understanding


In this project, I concentrated on understanding the user’s main friction points when managing household expenses.


By clearly defining these real-world challenges, I crafted the user flow and features to simplify and streamline the experience, making it more intuitive for everyday use.

User Pain Points

“I always feel like I’m forgetting something — until it’s too late.”

Lior – Freelance Professional

  • Carries constant background stress about missing payments

  • Distrusts the current systems and feels in the dark about what’s going on

“I don’t have time to figure out where to pay and when. I just want to know what’s next.”

Shai – Busy Parent

  • Feels mentally saturated trying to manage home finances between work and family

  • Avoids checking bills because it feels chaotic and unclear

User Needs

Lior

One place where all her bills are visible, trackable, and explained, without needing to jump between apps.

Shai

A calm, reliable overview of what’s due with smart reminders and no guesswork.

Main User Flow

After exploring multiple ways users might manage their bills, the final flow focused on one clear purpose: helping people avoid missed payments.


The main flow surfaces urgent bills first, guiding users from overview to action with minimal thought, because attention, not access, is what they truly lack.

Track History

Competitive research


Existing solutions are fragmented. Municipal sites and utility providers each offer separate, outdated systems. Bill platforms automate payments but lack clarity or context.


None provides a unified, user-friendly space to view, understand, and manage all household bills in one place.

Interface with Thinking Behind It


Uno was designed to remove friction. The entire interface is built to minimize cognitive load by turning a complex, scattered process into one clear, intuitive experience.

Key Features

Smart Prioritization


The Situation: People forget to pay because it’s unclear what’s urgent. Different bills arrive at different times with no hierarchy or reminders.


Design Approach: Uno surfaces the most urgent bills first, using clear visual indicators. This gives users instant focus and helps prevent missed payments.

Clear Monthly Summary


The Situation: Most people don’t know how much they spend per bill, or how that compares to the rest of the month. Existing apps show raw numbers, but not meaning.


Design Approach: Uno presents a clean, digestible chart showing how much was paid for each utility, along with the total monthly expense. Simple color coding and short explanations help users understand where their money goes at a glance.

Full Payment History & Receipts


The Situation: Users often need to check if a bill was paid, when, and where the receipt is. But that data is scattered or buried in emails.


Design Approach: Uno stores every transaction, organized by provider and date. Receipts are one tap away, giving users confidence and control.

Design Thinking


This project challenged me to design not around bills but around attention. The real issue wasn’t just complexity. It was the quiet, constant stress of not knowing: what’s due, what’s urgent, what’s already been paid.


As a designer, I aimed to replace confusion with calm. That meant prioritizing clarity over control, and understanding over data. I built every screen to reduce thinking, not to encourage management. The system surfaces what matters now, explains what the user sees, and stores what they might need later.


Instead of designing a tool for handling money, I designed a space that gives people back mental space. Uno isn’t about managing bills; it’s about feeling in control, without having to work for it.
