Inspiration

We were inspired by the challenges that people face when trying to save money for group activities, like vacations, events, or shared goals. Often, it’s hard to keep track of who has saved what, and motivation can drop when there’s no clear view of the collective progress. We wanted to create a solution that makes saving together easy, transparent, and fun. SaveCircle was born out of the need to foster accountability and collaboration when managing group finances.

What it does

SaveCircle allows groups to create shared savings goals (e.g., vacations, events, or any collective financial objective) and track contributions in real time. Each member of the group can update their progress, see how much others have contributed, and visualize the overall savings goal with progress bars and charts. The app sends notifications to remind group members of upcoming deadlines or when someone makes a contribution, helping everyone stay on track.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges we faced included coming up with an idea we were all interested in as well as managing time efficiently as beginners

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re proud of creating a functional app within the hackathon timeframe that solves a real problem. Successfully implementing real-time updates and building a clean, user-friendly interface are accomplishments we’re particularly excited about. We are also proud of the fact that we kept pushing in order to have something to show for our first hackathon. As we are all beginners who only met yesterday, that is an accomplishment.

What's next for SaveCircle

In the future, we plan to add features such as integrating with banking platforms so users can directly transfer their contributions. We’re also considering introducing savings tips, milestone celebrations (e.g., when a group reaches 50% of the goal), and personalized recommendations to help groups meet their financial objectives more efficiently. We hope to expand SaveCircle to make group savings even more engaging and practical.
