Call for beta testers: help us test the BitcoinSaving app
The BitcoinSaving app is built. It runs, it calculates, it has survived our own testing, a full guided tour of automated screenshots, and more rounds of "one more small fix" than we will admit in public. It is currently sitting in Apple's review queue for the App Store. But the beta does not have to wait for Apple, and frankly neither do we. The TestFlight beta is open right now, and we want real savers on it, not just ourselves. There are 100 public spots. Six are taken. If you have an iPhone and any curiosity about what steady Bitcoin saving would have done, one of the remaining 94 has your name on it.
Try it on your own numbers
The BitcoinSaving app replays any amount, rhythm and start year on real prices back to 2010, with charts for your average cost and your stretches under water. The iPhone beta is open on TestFlight.
Free during the beta. The public link installs it in a minute, no email and no account needed.
One short email a week
A real savings story, the numbers behind it, in plain words. Plus first access when the app launches.
What the app actually does
BitcoinSaving replays the past. You pick an amount and a rhythm, five dollars a day, fifty a week, a hundred a month, and a starting year, and the app shows you what that habit would have done on real daily Bitcoin prices back to 2010: how much you would have put in, how much Bitcoin you would have stacked, and what it would be worth at the latest price.
Five tabs, each with one job:
- DCA: the simulator itself. Banknote-sized amount buttons, a frequency wheel, a year slider, and your result.
- Charts: the long view. Price history, your stack's growth, and how Bitcoin supply has spread across holders over time.
- Learn: a 21-question quiz in three themes that teaches the core ideas, money, Bitcoin, and saving, with no jargon left unexplained.
- News: headlines from Bitcoin Magazine and Bitbo, inside the app, no ads on this tab.
- Profile: your saved plans, your quiz progress, your settings.
That is the whole app. It does not buy Bitcoin. It cannot hold Bitcoin. It never touches a wallet, an exchange, or your money. It is a rear-view mirror for a saving habit, built to answer one question honestly: what would steady saving have done?
The number that explains why we built it
Twenty dollars a day since 2016. That is $79,280 of contributions, bought in 3,964 small pieces, and it adds up to 21.28 BTC, worth roughly $1.59 million at the 9 November 2026 close. Nobody sensible claims you would have held through every crash, and the app says so under every result: past data only, not financial advice. But seeing a boring habit replayed across a decade of real prices changes how people think about saving, and it changed how we think about it. The website calculators do the same replay in your browser. The app is where it belongs, on the phone in your pocket, free to open whenever the "should I buy now or wait?" feeling shows up.
Who we are looking for
You, probably. Three kinds of testers are especially valuable:
Complete beginners. If Bitcoin mostly confuses you, you are the person the Learn tab and the plain-English results were written for. If something in the app needs a second read, that is a bug in our writing, and we want to know where.
Steady savers. If you already stack monthly or weekly, you will judge the simulator against your own history. Do the numbers match your experience? Does the rhythm you actually use exist in the app?
Sceptics. If you think DCA is overrated, or that an app like this makes saving look easier than it is, install it and argue with it. The feedback form takes long messages. Some of our best fixes so far came from people trying to prove the app wrong.
No Bitcoin knowledge is required. No Bitcoin is required. The app never asks you to buy anything, connect anything, or sign up for anything. There are no accounts at all.
What testing involves
Two steps and a minute of your time. Install Apple's free TestFlight app from the App Store, then open our beta page and tap through to install BitcoinSaving. After that, there is no programme, no schedule, no homework. Use it the way you would use any app you were curious about, and when something surprises you, delights you, confuses you, or breaks, tell us from inside the app: Profile has a feedback button, and every message gets read.
The most useful reports are the specific ones. "The chart went blank when I changed the year" is gold. "It feels slow" is a starting point. "I expected the button to..." is exactly the kind of sentence that changes the next version. Crashes matter most of all: the app reports them to us automatically, but hearing what you were doing when it happened is what turns a log into a fix.
What you get out of it
Early access, obviously, and a say in what ships. Version 1 is frozen while Apple reviews it, but version 2 is being built now, and tester feedback goes straight into it. Two things already on the v2 bench because early users asked: a full lump sum tool, so you can compare one big buy against dripping the same money in, and a proper charts pass with scrubbing and richer plan views. If there is a number you wish the app showed you, the beta is when asking works best.
One thing we will not do is pay for praise or script your feedback. There is a small budget set aside for thanking testers who file genuinely useful reports, details to follow once the beta settles, but the deal is simple: your honest experience for a real influence on the app. If that sounds fair, it is.
The honest bits
Beta means beta. The app is stable in our testing, but your phone, your iOS version, and your way of tapping around are not our testing, and that is the entire point of asking. If it crashes, that crash is data, and we would rather you find it now than a stranger find it on launch day.
There is a Premium unlock inside the app, one payment, no subscription, which removes ads and adds plan comparison. You do not need it to test, most of what needs testing is free, and nobody will chase you about it. Your saved plans and settings live on your phone only. And the standing rule of everything we publish: this is education, not financial advice. The app replays the past. It cannot know the future, and neither can we.
Android, before you ask: not yet. iPhone first, because that is where the app is built and reviewed. If you are on Android, the web simulator on this site runs the same calculations in your browser today.
How to join
Go to the beta page, tap the button, install TestFlight if it asks, then install BitcoinSaving. Ninety-four spots are open as of this writing, and they go first come, first served. When they fill, they fill.
Then do the most valuable thing a beta tester can do: use it once, honestly, and tell us what happened.
