Design Philosophy: Swiss International Style

ZüriBudget embodies the Swiss International Typographic Style:

• Grid System: Mathematical, rigid grid layouts with precise alignment
• Typography: San Francisco font treated like Helvetica - high contrast, large headers, distinct weight differences
• Minimalism: Generous whitespace, no illustrations, functional design
• Color Palette: ZKB brand identity with functional color usage
• Components: Sharp corners (4-8px radius), flat design, no drop shadows

Color Palette

Based on ZKB's brand identity:

Color	Hex	Usage
ZKB Blue	#0066B2	Primary brand color, headers, primary actions
Zürich Blue	#268BCC	Secondary/highlight, interactive elements
Signal Red	#FF3B30	Expenses/debits, critical actions
Emerald Green	#34C759	Income/credits, success states
Canvas White	#FFFFFF	Light mode background
Deep Slate	#1C1C1E	Dark mode background

Technical Stack

• Language: Swift 6
• UI Framework: SwiftUI
• Data Persistence: SwiftData (ModelContainer, @Model)
• PDF Parsing: PDFKit (Native framework)
• Architecture: MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel)

Security Features 🔒

ZüriBudget implements bank-level security for your financial data:

Multi-Layer Protection

1. Biometric Authentication

   • Face ID / Touch ID required on app launch (default: enabled)
   • Automatic passcode fallback if biometrics unavailable
   • Re-authentication required when returning from background

2. Data Encryption

   • SwiftData database encrypted with FileProtectionType.complete
   • Data accessible only when device is unlocked
   • All app directories protected with iOS Data Protection API

3. Secure File Handling

   • PDF files automatically deleted after parsing
   • Secure overwrite with random data before deletion
   • 10 MB file size limit (prevents DoS attacks)
   • Temporary files stored in encrypted location

4. Memory Protection

   • Sensitive data cleared when app backgrounds
   • URL cache purged on suspension
   • Pasteboard cleared to prevent data leakage

5. Validation & Limits

   • PDF page count limited to 100 pages
   • Content size validation (max 1 MB text)
   • ZKB statement format verification
   • File type restrictions (PDF only)

Privacy-First Design

• 100% Local: All data stored exclusively on-device
• No Network: App works completely offline
• No Cloud Sync: No iCloud or remote servers
• No Tracking: Zero analytics or telemetry
• No Third Parties: No external SDKs or services

See PRIVACY_POLICY.md for complete privacy documentation.
