> **Short answer.** To get started with Purser you need a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 13 or later, and your own Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus plan or higher. Join the queue with your email address. New companies are let in every week, and when it's your turn we email you a link to the app.

## What do I need?

A Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 13 or later, and your own Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus plan or higher. The app is in Swedish.

Purser is made for limited companies (aktiebolag) in Sweden, especially one-person companies and newly started ones. You also need your BankID, the Swedish e-ID, because you are the one who signs in to the bank and signs at Skatteverket. What Purser costs is on [Pricing](https://purserhq.com/en/pricing/).

## How does the queue work?

Join the queue with your email address. We let new companies in every week, and when it's your turn we email you a link to the app. Purser is free during early access.

After your email address you get four questions: company form, which bookkeeping program you use today, which bank the company has and whether you have Claude or ChatGPT. You can also write what the company does. The questions help us let the right companies in first. All of them are optional.

## What happens when I'm let in?

You get an email with a link to the app. You install Purser Desktop on your Mac, and the sessions run on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan. During early access you get started together with the founder.

When you set up the app, Purser suggests schedules, and “Varje måndag 08:00: gå igenom banken och kvittona” (every Monday 08:00: go through the bank and the receipts) is preselected. You choose which ones apply. From then on Purser works on a schedule, and what needs your yes lands in Väntar på dig (Waiting for you). How a month goes: [How it works](https://purserhq.com/en/how-it-works/).

## How do I move my books in?

Purser does the move from your previous bookkeeping program, the bank and Skatteverket, and you sign in with BankID where needed. The books are read in through SIE and the opening balances are checked. During early access we do the move together.

The move covers SIE 4 files for this year and last year, bank statements, the tax account (skattekonto), the document archive, unpaid invoices and, if the company pays salary, the payroll details. At the end Purser compares each imported SIE file with the books in Purser and tells you the differences, or that there are none. The whole move is described on [Byta bokföringsprogram](https://purserhq.com/byta-bokforingsprogram/) (in Swedish).

If you're starting a new company, there is nothing to move, and Purser starts from the beginning.

## What should I have ready?

Your Mac, your AI plan and your BankID. If the company has earlier books, it's enough that you can sign in to the bookkeeping program, the bank and Skatteverket's e-service. Purser fetches the rest and asks for what's missing.

## How does the app update?

The app is notarised by Apple and updates itself. You don't need to download new versions.
