Save visually, reach goals faster

What Nestegg does

Nestegg turns fuzzy savings dreams into concrete, trackable goals you actually want to open every day. Create a goal — vacation, emergency fund, new laptop, wedding gift — give it a target amount and a deadline, then log contributions as you make them. A gorgeous progress ring fills with every deposit while a live pace card recalculates exactly how much you need to save each week to hit your date on time.

The home screen shows all your goals at a glance with a single total-saved number so you feel the momentum of every dollar. Drill into any goal for a full contributions timeline, a pace history sparkline, and quick notes on each deposit. An insights view surfaces which goals need attention and celebrates milestones with a gentle confetti burst.

No bank links. No account. No internet ever required. SwiftData keeps everything on-device.

• Progress rings and goal cards with emoji • Weekly pace calculator, updates after every contribution • Contribution log with dates and optional notes • Total saved across all goals on home screen • Insights view flags at-risk goals • 100% offline, no login, no ads

What's inside

• Goal cards with progress rings — Home screen shows each savings goal as a card with an animated progress ring, emoji, target amount, current balance, and days remaining. A banner at the top displays the grand total saved across all goals.
• Live weekly pace calculator — After every contribution, Nestegg recalculates the exact weekly save rate needed to hit the goal by the target date. GoalDetailView shows current pace vs required pace as a simple colour-coded label (ahead / on track / behind).
• Contributions timeline — A chronological list of every deposit with amount, date, and an optional short note. Users can edit or delete past entries; the progress ring and pace update instantly.
• Insights view — A summary screen that highlights goals at risk of missing their deadline (pace is too slow), goals ahead of schedule, and a simple bar chart comparing progress across all goals.

Why we built it

Most savings goal trackers either require bank integration (raising privacy concerns) or are buried as a minor feature inside budgeting apps like YNAB or Mint. People who just want to visualize progress toward a few named goals have no lightweight, offline, delightful option.

What makes it different

Nestegg is the only savings-goal app built entirely around visual progress rings and a live weekly-pace calculator — fully offline, no bank link, no subscription for core use — unlike Qapital (bank-linked, subscription) or the goal features inside Mint/YNAB (requires accounts and internet).

Who it's for

Freelancers, contractors, and small-business owners who want their numbers right at tax time without renting a SaaS to do it.
