Here's another (different) approach...more along the lines of 'buckets'. Simple is a checking acct which gives you a 'Safe-To-Spend' amount rather than a 'Balance' after you set up saving goals, which in a sense save a small amount every day until you hit that goal on that date.

I use Simple and love it. It makes it so much easier to not have to worry about how much money I need to have in my account by a certain date — you just set it and forget it! Safe-to-Spend is a lifesaver.

Acorns

Automatically invest spare change.

Acorns works well for me - love the 'Round-Up' feature that rounds up to the nearest dollar and invests those spare cents into your acorns account. Then, once your comfy - you can set up recurring charges to be invested. And just like other investment apps, you're able to adjust between conservative, moderate, risky investments...dividends seem pretty nice too (which are reinvested). But it really comes down to the friendly and SIMPLE UX.
