🇳🇿Built for Kiwis

Designed for the money moments Kiwis actually have

Steady isn't a spreadsheet with an app skin. It's built around the real situations people face.

If takeaway dinners are eating your salary

You're not sure why your money disappears each fortnight, but Uber Eats and Countdown receipts tell a story.

Steady shows your real dining spend vs. last month in one tap — no budgeting needed.

See patterns

If you're saving for a house deposit

You've got a target in mind but no clear picture of whether this month's spend is sabotaging it.

Set the goal, connect your bank, and Steady auto-tracks progress every time you get paid.

Track goals

If surprise bills ruin your week

Power bill lands bigger than expected. Registration is due. Suddenly there's no room for groceries.

Steady forecasts 30 days out and flags bills landing before payday. No more ambushes.

Forecast bills

If 'can I afford it?' is always a guess

Weekend in Queenstown, new tyres, birthday dinner — every decision feels like a gamble with your bank balance.

Ask Steady and get a clear number back, factoring in your bills, goals, and pay cycle.
