🇦🇺 Our story

Built by Aussies,
for Aussies.

Not a startup. Not a fintech. Just someone who got sick of the options on the table and built the one that should've existed already.

"I run a business. I've used Xero. It's powerful — and it's built for accountants, not for a family trying to work out if they can afford extra mortgage repayments this month."

How this came to be

The short version

The frustration

Running a business meant living inside Xero — genuinely great software, genuinely not built for working out a household budget, a debt payoff plan, or what your tax refund might look like halfway through the year. Bank apps weren't much better: great at showing you what already happened, useless at helping you plan what's next.

The idea

What if there was something built the other way around — starting from an everyday household's actual questions ("can we afford this?", "what will our tax refund be?", "how fast can we kill this debt?") instead of a chart of accounts?

The build

Nights and weekends. Real Australian tax rules — 2026–27 brackets, Medicare Levy, HECS, the actual ATO cents-per-km rate — not generic templates. Barefoot Investor-style buckets, because that system already works for a lot of Aussie households. Built to run entirely on your own device, because your household's finances are nobody else's business.

Where it's at now

Still a work in progress, tested with real people, improved from real feedback. Free for the first 9 months so you can properly try it — then $9.99/month, priced like a beer, not a bill.

Our mission

Help everyday Australians get ahead — a bit at a time

The "Australian dream" isn't complicated: a home, some breathing room, debt that shrinks instead of grows, and a retirement that isn't a source of anxiety. Getting there is complicated. This exists to make the money side of it less confusing — not to sell you anything along the way.

What we actually believe

The rules we built this by

🔒 Privacy first

Your income, your debts, your goals — it's all stored on your own device, not our servers. We couldn't see your data if we wanted to, because there's nowhere for it to go.

💯 Honesty over hype

Every number comes with a straight answer about how confident to be in it. We'd rather you trust the app a little less and trust your accountant a little more, than the other way around.

🍺 Fair pricing, no games

Free for your first 9 months. After that, $9.99/month — about the price of a beer, and every feature stays unlocked either way. No tiers, no "upgrade to unlock this" popups.

🛠️ Built for real households

Singles, couples, families with kids — the tool adjusts to how your household actually works, not a generic one-size-fits-all budget template.

"We're not trying to be Xero. We're trying to be the thing you open before you ever need Xero."
