Saving money doesn't have to be boring. Savings Thermometer turns every savings goal into a game you'll actually want to play. WATCH YOUR PROGRESS RISE Every goal gets its own animated thermometer that fills up as you save. Whether it's a new car, a dream trip or an emergency fund, you'll always see how close you are. SAVE FOR EVERYTHING AT ONCE Track as many goals as you like, side by side. Give each one a name, an emoji and a target, then add money with quick $5, $10, $20 or $50 buttons, or enter any amount. KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO SAVE Add a deadline and Savings Thermometer Thermometer works out how much you need to save each day, week and month to make it. No spreadsheets, no guessing. EARN BADGES & CELEBRATE Unlock milestone badges at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of every goal. Each one comes with confetti and a little buzz, because progress should feel good. FRIENDLY 7 PM REMINDERS Turn on reminders for a gentle nudge each evening with how much to save today. You'll also get a heads-up as deadlines get close: one week, three days, the day before and the big day. YOUR SAVINGS AT A GLANCE Your home screen shows your total saved, your total target, goals completed and badges earned. Each goal keeps a history of recent deposits and withdrawals. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up and no bank linking. Your goals are stored on your device. If you turn on reminders, only what's needed to work out tonight's reminder is shared: goal names, amounts, deadlines and your first name. Start your first goal today and watch the thermometer climb!
