Credit card debt is a major concern worldwide, and it is unclear which strategies are effective in keeping households motivated to pay such debts. To tackle this issue, we have developed a prototype mobile application that delivers debt management strategies as interventions. Our application introduces one new debt management strategy that ranks debts by emotional burden and one established repayment strategy. The application will be used for research that compares these two strategies. We iteratively developed the prototype following user-centered design principles, starting with a paper wireframe followed by a fully functional Figma prototype. We interviewed potential application users to refine the prototype software developers can use to create the application.
