The SaveFirst method

Most budgets fail because savings come last.

We flip the order. Money for your future leaves the math first — what's left is genuinely yours to spend, with no guilt and no spreadsheet.

Save first, automatically

Set a savings target — a fixed dollar amount or a percent of income. It's allocated before anything else is spendable.

Frequently asked

Answers, before you ask.

Traditional budgeting saves whatever's left at the end of the month — which is usually nothing. SaveFirst flips that. We allocate your savings target as soon as income arrives, then show you the real, spendable balance underneath. You spend without guilt because the future is already taken care of.
Not in the current version. SaveFirst is local-first — your data lives on your iPhone, not on our servers. You can add transactions in seconds with voice or one-tap shortcuts, and we'll detect recurring charges automatically. Bank linking is planned for a future release, opt-in only.
It's deterministic, not vibes. We subtract the purchase from your spendable balance, project your remaining bills and savings target through the end of the cycle, and check against the minimum buffer you set. The recommendation always shows the math behind it — no black boxes.
Yes. SaveFirst stores your transactions, goals, and plan locally on your device by default. Optional iCloud backup is end-to-end encrypted. We don't sell data, we don't run ads, and we don't have a “growth” team. You can export everything as CSV at any time.
Android is on the roadmap. The current focus is making the iPhone experience as calm and trustworthy as possible. Join the waitlist to hear when Android opens for testing.
You're not in trouble. SaveFirst doesn't lecture you. We'll adjust the projection, suggest a smaller target if it's a pattern, and keep your goals on a realistic track. Life happens; the app is here to help you re-plan, not to score you.

Spend lighter. Save sooner.
