Kanso

Kanso insights: this month's spending by category

Be honest

Sound familiar?

If you nodded even once, you're not alone. Almost nobody knows where their money really goes.

The real problem

It's not the big bills. It's the small taps.

Rent and EMIs you remember. It's the ₹40s and ₹150s, paid without thinking, that quietly empty your account.

Chai, twice a day₹40 × 60₹2,400
Autos and cabs₹150 × 20₹3,000
Food delivery₹350 × 8₹2,800
Every month, without deciding to₹8,200

That's ₹98,400 a year. You never see it, because nothing shows it to you. An example, but you probably know your own version.

It's not your fault

Tracking shouldn't need willpower

You didn't fail at tracking. The tools failed you.

Spreadsheets and manual apps

Need you to type every ₹40 chai. Nobody can keep that up for long.

Apps that link your bank account

Want your bank login, see your balances, and keep it all on their servers.

"Free" finance apps

Pay for themselves with ads, loan offers, or your spending profile.

How Kanso solves it

So Kanso does the tracking for you

No typing. No bank login. Just the SMS your bank already sends you.

Payments appear in Kanso automatically 1

Pay as usual

Card, UPI or bank. Kanso logs it from your bank's SMS in seconds. No typing, nothing missed.

An alert asks what the payment was for 2

Add what it was for

One tap on the alert. Pick a category or type "plumber". You'll always know why.

Spending limits showing used and left 3

Stay on track

See your month at a glance and set limits. A heads-up at 80%, not a shock at 100%.

Your month, before Kanso and after

Before

  • "Where did my salary go?"
  • Typing every spend, then giving up
  • A statement full of names you can't place
  • Finding out you overspent on the 30th
  • Handing your bank login to an app

With Kanso

  • Every rupee, by category, in one screen
  • Logged from SMS automatically
  • A note on each spend: "plumber", "Goa cab"
  • A heads-up at 80% of your limit
  • Nothing leaves your phone

And everything else you'd want

Notes in one tap

Remember what each spend was for.

Spending limits

Two taps, or just say "180 auto".

Your file, your fingerprint or PIN.

Private and secure by design

Your money data stays on your phone. Here's exactly what Kanso touches.

Reads

  • Payment alerts from your bank and cards
  • Payment notifications from UPI apps, if you allow it
  • Your location while Kanso is open, if you allow it

Never

  • Personal chats or any non-payment SMS
  • OTPs and passwords
  • Your bank login, balances or statements
  • Your location while Kanso is closed

It can't even use the internet.

Kanso doesn't have Android's internet permission, so it can't send your data anywhere, not to us and not to anyone. You don't have to trust us; you can check.

  1. Open Settings → Apps → Kanso
  2. Tap Permissions → All permissions
  3. Internet access isn't there

Questions

Is it safe to give Kanso SMS access?

Yes. Kanso reads SMS only on your phone and keeps only bank payment alerts. Personal messages and OTPs are skipped. It can't upload anything: it has no internet permission.

Does it work with my bank?

Almost certainly. It works with HDFC, SBI, ICICI, Axis, Kotak and nearly every other Indian bank and card.

What about cash?

Add it in two taps, or just say "180 auto".

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet. iPhones don't let apps read SMS, so Kanso is Android-only for now.

Never ask "where did it go?" again.

Start this month. Know where every rupee goes, and what it was for.
