Field notes
The proposed workflow begins with user-granted SMS access, then recognizes supported financial transactions locally and turns them into a ledger with amounts, dates, sources, and direction. The page says normalized transaction details replace raw SMS bodies in local storage, and describes an optional device-security lock plus a reset function. Budget Pesa is still marked as coming soon to Android, and the homepage does not list which M-Pesa or bank message formats are supported.
