Xtracto: expense tracking without leaving the phone
An Android app that turns bank notification alerts into local expense records without bank credentials, accounts, ads, or an internet connection.
Field notes
The site describes a notification-driven Android workflow: the app reads alerts from supported financial apps, extracts transaction details, removes duplicate notices, and stores the resulting history locally. It says users can compare monthly totals by card, search the history, preserve the original alert, and export records as CSV. Its central technical claim is testable: the page provides adb and aapt2 commands for checking whether the installed APK requests INTERNET access.
