Emergency fund
A steady weekly amount with milestones at 25, 50, 75 and 100%, each with a small reward you choose.
A savings goal tracker that tells you if you're on pace.
Set a target and a date. Yearbar works out what each week takes, then shows your savings bar against the calendar, so you know in October, not December, whether you'll make it.

How it works
Set it, log it, see your pace.

1
Set a target your way
Enter a total (“$2,600 by Dec 31”) or a rate (“$50 a week”) and Yearbar works out the other. Start any day of the year.

2
Log each deposit
One tap adds your usual amount, with Undo if you slip. Took money out? Log it as a setback. Forgot last week? Pick the day it happened.

Know if you'll make it
The marker shows where your savings should be by today. The goal screen tells you what it takes from here.
Made for saving
Every pot gets its own bar.
An emergency fund, a trip, a house deposit, a new laptop. Track each one on its own, side by side.
Trip fund
Save toward a date, not just Dec 31. Add the flight as a key date and a flag counts down on the bar.
House deposit
Big, slow goals feel real when you can see the month: “This October: $80 more keeps you on pace.”
Debt payoff
Track the payments toward a balance you want gone. Same bar, same pace, same rewards when you hit 50%.
Saving tips
How to set a savings goal you'll actually hit.
Pick a weekly number, not just a total. “$2,600 this year” is easy to put off. “$50 every Friday” is something you can do this week.
Pay yourself first. Move the money on payday, before spending starts, then log it. An automatic transfer from your bank does the remembering for you.
Give every pot a name. “Lisbon in June” is easier to protect than “savings”. Separate goals also make it clear which one to top up.
Expect a lean month. Holidays and surprise bills happen. A tracker that shows pace lets you catch up later in the year instead of giving up.
General tips, not financial advice. For an emergency fund, a common rule of thumb is three to six months of essential expenses.
- No bank connection. You log what you save. No logins, no account numbers, works with any bank or a cash jar.
- Your currency. 38 currencies to pick from, or type your own.
- Setbacks are fine. A withdrawal moves the bar back; nothing resets and nothing says “failed”.
- Phone and web. Use it in any browser today, with iPhone and Android apps on the way.

Questions about savings goals
How much should I save each week to reach my goal?
Take what's left to save and divide it by the weeks until your deadline. For example, $2,600 over 52 weeks is $50 a week. The calculator on this page does it for any amount and date, and Yearbar keeps the number up to date as you log deposits.
Does Yearbar connect to my bank?
No. You log what you put aside, in one tap. Yearbar never asks for bank logins or account numbers, and it works with any bank, cash jar or savings app.
Can I track more than one savings goal?
Yes. An emergency fund, a trip and a new laptop can each have their own bar, target and pace. The free plan holds 5 goals in total; Pro has no limit.
What if I take money out of my savings?
Log it as a setback. The bar moves back by that amount, your history stays honest, and Yearbar shows what a week now takes to get back on pace. Nothing else resets.
Which currencies does Yearbar support?
Pick from 38 currencies, shown as a symbol or a 3-letter code, or type your own of up to 4 characters.
