What You'll Need to Get Started
Running our weekly budgeting platform doesn't require fancy equipment. Most Australians already have what they need sitting on their desk or in their pocket.
The Basics Matter
Look, we've kept things straightforward. You won't need a supercomputer or the latest smartphone to manage your weekly budget with us.
Over the past three years of working with Australian households, we've noticed something interesting. People who stress about having the perfect setup often delay getting started. And that's the real problem—not their device.
Here's what actually works:
- Any computer from the last five years will handle everything smoothly
- Internet connection that lets you stream music without buffering
- A browser you're already comfortable using daily
- About 100MB of free storage space (less than 20 photos)
- Screen that's readable without squinting at numbers
What About Older Devices?
We've tested our platform on machines dating back to 2018. If your device can handle YouTube videos without constant freezing, you're good. The occasional lag might happen, but your budget data will sync just fine.

Internet Speeds That Work
We've tested our platform across regional Australia where internet can be... well, challenging. Even on slower NBN connections in rural New South Wales, everything loads within reasonable time.
If you're checking your budget on mobile data, don't worry. The platform uses minimal data—usually less than checking social media for five minutes. We've compressed everything without sacrificing clarity.
Planning to access your budget while travelling? The offline mode lets you view recent transactions and budgets. Changes sync automatically once you're back online.
"I was worried my old laptop wouldn't cut it. Been using the same MacBook since 2019 and wasn't keen on upgrading. Turns out it works perfectly fine. Loads faster than my banking app, actually. Started tracking my weekly spending in October 2024 and haven't had a single technical hiccup."
