How it works

Learn it. Practise it.
Own it.

Akrue is a financial literacy platform built for how you actually live: on your phone, short sessions, real progress. Two tracks, one simulator, zero real money at risk.

The curriculum

Two tracks. In order.

Most apps start with the market. We don't, because the market is step two. You can't invest what you never managed to keep.

Track 1 · Survive

The money you already have

The stuff school skipped and your payslip assumes you know:

  • What every line of your payslip means
  • How tax is actually calculated (and why your mate is wrong about overtime)
  • Super: what it is, where yours is, why it matters at 18 and not 58
  • Rent, debt, HECS, and where your money goes each week
Track 2 · Invest

The market, minus the mystery

How investing actually works: taught in a simulator, not a lecture:

  • Shares, ETFs, indexes and what moves them
  • Risk, diversification, and why time beats timing
  • Reading the news without getting played by it
  • Practising real decisions with simulated money
The simulator

Real markets. Fake money.
Genuine skill.

The simulator runs on live ASX and US market data: the same prices, the same moves, the same news. The only thing that isn't real is the money, which means the mistakes are free and the lessons stick.

Live data

Real ASX and US market prices. When the market moves, your portfolio moves.

$0 at risk

Simulated money only. You can't deposit, you can't lose, you can't get burned learning.

Real decisions

Build strategies, feel the drops, learn your own psychology before it costs you anything.

Your crew

Learning is better
with witnesses

Bring your mates. Compare strategies, talk through what the market's doing, and climb the leagues together: rankings are built on learning progress, not portfolio returns, so the leaderboard rewards showing up and levelling up, not lucky bets.

Your guide

Meet Mystery

The shaggy monster you'll see around the place is Mystery: your guide through all of it. Every chart, every jargon word, every "wait, why did that happen?". Mystery explains it in plain English, right when you need it. The name's the mission: by the time you're done, there isn't any.
