• No ads. Ever.

PRIVACY FIRST

Your financial data is yours. SpendSense:
• Stores all your financial data in an encrypted database on your device (SQLCipher / AES-256)
• Never transmits raw SMS bodies anywhere — only extracted fields (amount, merchant, bank, timestamp)
• Shows no ads, uses no analytics or tracking SDKs, and shares no data with third parties
• Optional encrypted Google Drive backups (Premium) write to your own Drive — only you can read them

PREMIUM (OPTIONAL)

Unlock advanced analytics and cash-flow forecasts, encrypted Google Drive backups, unlimited custom categories and accounts, CSV/PDF exports, premium themes, group splits, and a home-screen widget with SpendSense Premium.

Every feature — including automatic SMS and notification tracking — is included free for 30 days. After the trial, a Premium subscription is required to continue automatic transaction capture; cancel anytime in Google Play.

PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED

• SMS — to detect bank and payment-app transaction messages (read-only, processed on-device, never transmitted)
• Notifications — to detect payments confirmed via Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, Amazon Pay, WhatsApp Pay, CRED, BHIM, MobiKwik, Freecharge, and bank apps (SBI YONO, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak)
• Location (optional) — to tag where each transaction happened; captured at the moment the SMS or notification arrives, never tracked continuously in the background
• Camera (optional) — to attach receipt photos

We never read personal SMS, social-media notifications, or any non-financial content.
