SaveJar is a savings tracker for goals you are actually working toward — a holiday, a deposit, a new laptop, an emergency fund. Log money in seconds and watch one running total climb across every jar. Give your saving a shape with challenges. The 52-week challenge, the envelope challenge and the round-amount challenge each come with a schedule SaveJar tracks and credits correctly — every scheduled date, not just the first one. Free forever: • Up to 3 jars, each with unlimited deposits and withdrawals • The 52-week challenge • A running total across every jar and challenge • Local reminders for your next deposit or challenge date • Edit or delete anything, any time Unlock SaveJar Unlimited — one-time purchase, $2.99, no subscription: • Unlimited jars • The envelope and round-amount challenges • A home-screen widget showing your total and what is next due • iCloud sync across your devices SaveJar never shows an ad, never blocks the "add money" button, and never resets a challenge you have already made progress on. Money you have saved stays saved, full stop. No account. No tracking. Your data stays on your device — or in your own iCloud, only if you turn sync on.
