Amber: an Acorns-style spare-change app for dollar-cost averaging into Bitcoin

Svetski's app Amber lets users link a bank account and automatically dollar-cost average into Bitcoin — rounding up spare change or doing recurring buys from as little as $5 a day — and stores it in cold storage. It's the fiat round-up app model applied to Bitcoin for people who want exposure without the work.
