Now inviting pilot partners
Move sustainability from the strategy deck into everyday habits
Your people get an app that rewards lower-carbon everyday choices with Green Points. Your team gets a dashboard to run campaigns and see what changed — without seeing anyone's personal data.
One app for your people, one dashboard for your team
SAVE turns a sustainability goal into something people do every day — and something you can measure.
For your people
The SAVE app
- Records journeys and rewards walking, cycling and public transport with Green Points
- Logs meals — people can simply type what they ate
- Counts shopping — fewer shop trips, and buying second-hand, repaired or borrowed, earn points
- Suggests realistic lower-carbon alternatives
- Measures progress against each person's own starting point, so everyone can improve wherever they start
- Shows your organization's campaigns, ready to join
Dashboard in development · sample data

How a pilot works
A pilot runs for 4–8 weeks with up to 50 people. Start with one group, learn what works, then decide what comes next.
-
Step 1: Choose your group
Pick a team, a site or a community of up to 50 people. We set up your organization in SAVE and help you plan your first campaign.
-
Step 2: Run campaigns
Launch time-bound challenges, like cycling to work for a month. Your people install the app, join with your organization's activation code and see their own progress.
-
Step 3: See what changed
Follow participation and campaign results on your dashboard, then decide with us what to run next.
What your team sees — and what it never sees
People will only track their journeys if they trust that their employer can't see where they go. So we built SAVE so you can't.
Your team sees
- How many people take part in each campaign
- Campaign results: how many journeys were logged and how much CO2 was saved
- How your group's results change over time
- Weekly totals of travel, food and shopping habits — each figure from at least five people, shown only after the week has closed
Your team never sees
- Where anyone went — journeys and routes are stored only on each person's phone
- What anyone ate
- Any individual's results — campaign results are stored with no link to the person
Security
Server and database in the EU (Frankfurt), all traffic encrypted. Passwords stored only as salted hashes; sign-in sessions in the phone's secure storage. Organization data only for your administrators. No advertising, no third-party tracking, no data sold.
On your own servers
Your organization can run SAVE's server itself. Invitation codes then lead the app to your server — what stays on people's phones stays there either way.
For your review
People can export or delete their data in the app at any time. For a pilot we share our data protection impact assessment and our data protection terms for organizations.
When the app calculates someone's score, our server processes the request and keeps nothing. Machine learning decides what to suggest to each person, and a language model reads what they type to log it — neither ever reaches your dashboard, and neither produces the CO2 figures. We never use journeys for advertising and never sell data. Read exactly what is stored where.
Who it's for
Organizations that want people to act, not only to be informed.
Employers
Make sustainability part of how people get to work, not only part of the ESG report.
NGOs and membership organizations
Show that members do more than sign up or open the newsletter.
Cities and public programs
Run climate initiatives across neighborhoods, campuses or defined groups of residents.
Universities and housing communities
Bring students and residents together around shared goals and see your progress as a community.
Who's behind SAVE
SAVE is designed and developed by LessTrace, mentored through a European climate innovation program.
LessTrace
The company behind SAVE. LessTrace designs and builds the app, the organization dashboard and the privacy-first infrastructure behind them.
Mentored by GreenTech4 Transformation (GT4T), a program co-funded by EIT Climate-KIC, and developed with SAMK Venture Science Center. More about the team
Questions organizations ask
Can we see what individual people do?
No. Each person's activity history is stored only on their own phone, and campaign results reach your dashboard with no link to the person. Your team sees totals for the group, never an individual.
What does a pilot cost?
Nothing. Pilots are free for our early partners. A pilot runs for 4–8 weeks with up to 50 people, and before we start we agree together on the group and what you want to learn.
What do you ask in return?
Honest feedback on what works for your people and your team, and what doesn't. It shapes what we build next.
Which phones does SAVE work on?
Android and iPhone. While SAVE is in beta, people install it through Google Play's testing program on Android and Apple's TestFlight app on iPhone.
How do people join?
We give you an invite link and an activation code for your organization. People install the SAVE app from Google Play's testing program on Android or Apple's TestFlight on iPhone, and enter the code when they create their account — that connects them to your campaigns.
What does SAVE track?
Three of the biggest parts of everyday footprints: how people travel, what they eat and what they buy. Energy use is not tracked today.
How much work is it for our team?
You choose the group and share the invite link and activation code. We set up your organization, help plan your first campaign and stay in touch throughout the pilot.
Can people use SAVE without an organization?
Yes. The app is free for individuals, so people can keep building better habits on their own, and your organization adds campaigns and shared goals on top. The beta is open on Android and iPhone — .
How are the dashboard's CO2 estimates calculated?
The estimates your dashboard shows use standard emissions factors for each way of traveling, and peer-reviewed food emissions data for meals (Poore & Nemecek, 2018). People in the app see Green Points, not CO2 figures. Progress is measured against each person's own starting point.
