Raise a Saver, Not a Spender
Other apps hand kids a debit card and a spending feed. We give them something better: a goal, a progress bar, and the feeling of actually getting there.

Most Kids Apps Teach Spending, Not Saving
Saveasaurus took notes — and did the opposite.
- No debit card.
- No spending feed.
- No impulse-buy checkout.
Just a kid with a goal, a progress bar, and the satisfaction of actually getting there.
Three Steps. One Habit. Zero Debit Cards.
Up and running in minutes. Building character for years.
No Bank Account Needed
Start fully virtual and build the habit today — no money has to move. Want to link a real savings account later? Easy, whenever you're ready.
Name What They're Saving For
A bike, a game, a gift for a friend — if your kid can dream it, they can save for it.
Watch the Progress Bar Fill Up
Kids move money toward their goals and feel every inch of that bar. Turns out, progress is addictive.
Built for Kids. Designed for Parents.
Every feature is a money lesson in disguise — and kids never even notice.
Savings Goals
Kids pick what they're saving for — a bike, a game, anything — and watch their progress bar grow.
Real or Virtual
Virtual mode is a tracking ledger — no real money moves. Or link a savings account, and balances mirror what's actually in the bank.
Multi-Child
One dashboard, separate logins for each kid. Every child gets their own goals, their own chores, their own sense of ownership.
Move Money
Shuffle money between goals with a tap. Every dollar moved is a decision made — and that's the whole point.
Chore Tracker
Set chores, set the pay, and print a paper checklist your kid can actually check off. Nothing motivates like a real box to tick.
Any Device
Phone, tablet, or computer.
No app neededThe Nudge That Starts the Best Conversations
A five-minute savings chat beats a lecture any day of the week.
Set a weekly, biweekly, or monthly reminder to sit down with your kid and talk about their savings. It takes a few minutes — and those minutes add up to something real.
Every reminder comes with a financial literacy tip so you always have something worth saying — no prep required.
🦕 Time to check in with Emma's savings!

SaveasaurusHi Sarah,
Your weekly reminder to sit down with Emma and talk about her savings goals. It only takes a few minutes — and it adds up.

💡 This week's financial literacy tip
"Ask your child: is this a want or a need? Practicing that question now builds a habit that lasts a lifetime — and gives you both a language for talking about money."

A Goal They Can See. A Bar They Can't Stop Watching.
Turns out, watching a number go up is wildly motivating.
Kids pick what they're saving for and put a number on it. Every time money moves in, the progress bar grows. When it hits 100%, they celebrate — and they're already asking to start the next one.
Goals work because they make saving feel concrete. Not "save money." Save for the LEGO set. Save for the soccer cleats. Save for something that actually matters to them.

Chores That Pay. Goals That Grow.
Because kids work a whole lot harder when there's something to save for.
Assign chores, set the payout, and let kids track their own progress. At the end of the week, you review what got done and approve the earnings — which go straight into their savings goals.
Need something they can see every day? Print the chore list and stick it on the fridge. Kids check boxes with a pen — no login required.

What Parents Are Saying
Real talk from families building the savings habit.
Our 8-year-old has been begging for a debit card. Saveasaurus gave us a way to say “not yet” — and he's actually saved $80 toward his bike. The progress bar is doing more than any lecture I could give.
Sarah M.
Mom of two
I've tried three of these apps. The others all turn into spending feeds. Saveasaurus is the only one that actually feels like it's on the parents' side — and the Money Talk reminders make me look like I have my act together.
Rachel D.
Parent of three
We used to argue about chores every weekend. Now my daughter checks her own list on the fridge — and the money goes straight to her summer camp goal. Best $4 a month I spend.
