Technical Requirements for Our Platform
Getting started with family investing doesn't require complicated setups or expensive hardware. We built our platform to work smoothly on the devices you already own—because managing your family's financial future should be accessible, not technical.
Basic System Needs
Your current computer or tablet probably meets our requirements already. We're talking standard equipment here—nothing fancy needed.
- Any modern computer from the last five years works fine
- Windows 10 or newer, macOS 11 or later
- At least 4GB RAM (8GB is better for multitasking)
- Stable internet connection—broadband or decent mobile data
- Screen resolution of 1280x720 or higher
Browser Compatibility
We support all major browsers. If you can read this right now, you're good to go. Just keep your browser reasonably up to date.
- Chrome 100 or newer (our most tested option)
- Firefox 98 and above
- Safari 15 or later for Mac users
- Edge 100+ works great on Windows
- Mobile browsers on iOS 15+ and Android 10+
Mobile Access
Check your portfolio during lunch breaks or update budgets while the kids are at practice. Our mobile experience adapts to smaller screens without losing functionality.
- iPhone 8 or newer running iOS 15 and up
- Android phones from 2019 onward with Android 10+
- Tablets work beautifully—iPad Air or similar
- Touch-optimized interface for easy navigation
- Responsive design that adjusts to your screen
Security Essentials
Your family's financial data matters. These simple security practices help protect your account and keep everything running smoothly.
- Updated operating system with latest security patches
- Current antivirus software (Windows Defender counts)
- Two-factor authentication support on your device
- Password manager recommended but not required
- Secure WiFi connection—avoid public networks
Real-World Performance Expectations
We tested our platform on everything from five-year-old laptops to brand new tablets. What matters most isn't having the latest tech—it's having a reliable connection and a browser that's reasonably current.
Most families access our platform on devices they already own. That Dell laptop from 2020? Works perfectly. Your iPad from a couple years back? No issues at all. Even older smartphones handle the core features without breaking a sweat.
The occasional lag you might experience usually comes from internet hiccups, not your device. And honestly, our platform loads faster than most news websites—we tested that specifically because nobody wants to wait around while checking their investments.

Encryption & Data Protection
We use bank-level encryption for all data transmission. That means the information traveling between your device and our servers stays private—even on your home WiFi network.
Your browser handles most of the security heavy lifting automatically. Modern browsers come with built-in protections against common threats, and our platform adds additional layers on top of that foundation.
