The SaveFirst method

Most budgets fail because savings come last. We flip the order. Your future gets paid first. What's left is genuinely yours to spend, with no guilt and no spreadsheet.

Income · $3,200
1

Tell us what comes in

Add your income and recurring expenses. Set them once and they carry forward. No bank linking.

2

Save first, automatically

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

Spend what's left, freely

Your spendable balance is the truth, everything else is taken care of. Buy the coffee. We did the math.

Built around one number.

Everything in SaveFirst points back to your spendable balance: what it is, what a purchase does to it, and where the rest of your money is going.

Spendable Balance

spendable this month

One number, total clarity. Your real spendable balance, after savings and bills are already accounted for. No guessing whether a purchase is going to hurt later.

Frequently asked

Answers, before you ask.

Traditional money advice saves whatever's left at the end of the month, which is usually nothing. SaveFirst flips the order. Your savings target is set aside when income arrives, bills are accounted for, and what remains is your spendable balance. You spend without the guilt because the future is already taken care of.
No. SaveFirst never links to your bank and never imports transactions. You add what you spend yourself, by voice or by typing, and set recurring bills once so they carry forward. Every number in the app is one you put there.
It's arithmetic, not a guess. SaveFirst takes the price away from what's left this month, after your bills and savings are covered, and checks the result against your lifestyle limit. The answer always shows the numbers behind it. No black boxes.
Yes. Your plan is stored in your SaveFirst account on our servers, so it's there when you sign in, and everything between the app and our servers travels over an encrypted connection. We don't sell data, we don't run ads, and there's no ad tracking. You can ask us for a copy of your data at any time, and you can delete your account from Settings whenever you want.
Not yet. Android is on the roadmap. Right now the focus is making the iPhone experience as calm and trustworthy as possible.
You're not in trouble. SaveFirst doesn't lecture you and doesn't score you. Change the target and your plan works from the new number. Life happens; the app is here to help you re-plan, not to judge you.

Spend lighter. Save sooner.
