Process

How it works

Three steps. You stay in control of permissions and data.

  1. 01

    Install from Play

    No account creation. Open the app and review what it will access.

  2. 02

    Allow notification access

    Only payment alerts from your bank, UPI, and card apps — not your full SMS inbox.

  3. 03

    Spending builds on your phone

    Alerts are parsed on-device and stored locally. Tap any line to see the source notification.

Honest limit: only transactions that post a notification after you install appear automatically. Older history needs a statement import (Pro). Android may hide some sensitive bank alerts from listener apps — you can share alert text, import a statement, or add a charge manually.

Capability

Built for clarity, not clutter

A calm view of money in and out — without ads, loans, or selling your data.

  • Weekly & monthly spend

    Totals and trends built from the payment alerts your bank, UPI, and card apps already show.

  • Bills, subscriptions & refunds

    See what is due, what renews, and what is still pending — alongside everyday spending.

  • Tap to see the alert

    Every amount links back to the notification it came from, so you can verify parsing yourself.

  • Transfers & income

    Moves between your own accounts are not counted as spending. Salary and paycheck-style credits show as income.

  • Quick cash entry

    Add spends that never trigger an alert, without leaving the app.

  • Ask on your phone

    Questions about what you spent or what is due are answered on-device — not sent to our servers.

Not included: bill-pay, credit scores, or rewards optimization.

Trust

Privacy you can verify

We do not run a server that receives your transactions. What leaves your phone is limited to choices you make — such as an encrypted backup to your own cloud storage or a missed-alert report you review before sending.

  • No SMS permission — we do not read your inbox
  • No bank login, Plaid, or linked accounts
  • No sign-up and no user database on our side
  • Play Data safety: no data collected or shared
  • Optional app lock with PIN or biometrics
  • Encrypted backup to your own Drive or Files, with your passphrase
